Instrument (scale) development considerations: A case study of the Authoritative School Climate Survey (ASCS) (Hong Kong)

In psychology and education, researchers are often interested in instruments that measure unobserved, latent constructs referred to as scales. Through this talk, Dr. Huang will outline the development and testing of the Authoritative School Climate Survey (ASCS) which has been used by thousands of secondary school students, teachers, and principals. He will discuss the practical aspects of large-scale survey development, design, and administration. Statistical analyses such as (multilevel) exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses will be discussed as well as topics on reliability, validity, and invariance testing.
