Psychometric properties of attitude toward menopause checklist-Persian version: A comparison study attitude between girls and menopause mother

Aim: The current study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties, including validity content, internal consistency and construct validity and comparison attitude between girls and menopause womenMaterials and methods:This is a psychometric study on 350 healthy postmenopausal Iranian women referred to healthcare centers in Semen and Mashhad cities, aiming to examine reliability, content validity and construct validity. Second parts of study compared comparison attitude between girls and menopause womenبا توجه به سرایط خاص ناشی از بحران کرونا و عدم دسترسی مستقیم به دختران و همچنین زمان محدود پژوهش تعدادی پرسشنامه نگرش به یایسگی رو بصورت انلاین و تعدادی بصورت حضوری توسط 200زن یایسه و 200دخترهای نوجوان تکمیل کردندResults:Mean age of subjects were 55.45±5.58 years. Cronbach's alpha was 0.68% and original modified model was reported to be unidentified. Therefore, the exploratory factor analysis was performed through principal-component analysis with varimax rotation. Given the results of scree plot, eigenvalues and the interpretability of the different factor solutions factor, five factors structures were identified as the most appropriate solutions for attitude toward menopause. These five factors explained 48% of variance.در دومین قسمت 200 زن یائسه و 200 دختر مشارکت داشتند میانگین نمره نگرش زنان یائسه 66/5 ± 67/45 و میانگین نمره نگرش دختران 74/5 ± 75/48 بود که از نظر آماری تفاوت معنی دار بود(001/0 ˂). ضریب همبستگی بین سن و نمره نگرش هم برابر با (r=-0.228 , P˂0.001)بود. یعنی به ازای هر سال افزایش سن شرکت کنندگان 0.228 از نمره نگرش انها کاسته شده بود و این کاهش معنی دار بود. Conclusions:

Authenticating Factor Analysis of Attitude towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) in Thailand

The study examine the psychometric properties of Attitudes towards Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) in the Thai context. To achieve the objective set by the authors, 259 students from 10 different primary schools in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, Thailand were selected. Furthermore, a forty items ATMI questionnaire having four scales that is, 15 items measuring self-confidence, 10 items measuring value, 10 items measuring enjoyment, and 5 items measuring motivation from the study of Khine and Afari (2014) was adapted. The questionnaire adapted was translated to Thai language by expert English Thai lecturer. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy and Bartlett’s test of sphericity were carried out to ascertain the factorability of the correlation matrix. That ATMI can be a viable scale to measure students’ attitudes toward mathematics in Thai context.

Psychometric Properties of Attitudes towards Lesbians and Gay Men Scale with Chinese University Students

The 10-item Attitudes Towards Lesbian and Gay Men Scale was translated into traditional Chinese, with slight modification in item wordings (by replacing the words such as "lesbians" with "female homosexuals" and "gay men" with "male homosexuals"). Data were collected with a convenient sample of 462 Chinese undergraduate students in social work training programmes from three Hong Kong universities. Analysis of the data showed responses to the scale and its two subscales were internally consistent and a one-factor structure was found on the total scale and separately on each of its two subscales. Differences by religious belief and sex were observed using the total scale scores, as in previous studies using this scale. Researchers could consider using this scale with Hong Kong Chinese and in subsequent cross-cultural studies involving a wider range of Chinese respondents.
