Title: A GENERAL PROCEDURE TO ASSESS THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF A NONCOGNITIVE MEASURE—THE STUDENT360 INSIGHT PROGRAM (S360) TIME MANAGEMENT SCALE

A general procedure with a variety of methods was introduced and implemented, including the computation of descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Overall, the results indicated that the TM scale measured multidimensional constructs of TM with 5 factors. The paper concludes with a discussion of several issues concerning the wording of items and residual dependencies, as well as future directions for research.Read More
