“…The study also employed single-item measures to capture depression and perceived powerlessness, while other studies have more commonly used scale instruments to measure them. However, a number of studies have illustrated the validity of single item measures to assess feelings of depression and powerlessness (Ayalon et al, 2009;Hoeppner et al, 2011;Rosenzveig et al, 2014;Veldhuizen et al, 2014;Zimmerman et al, 2006).…”

“…Scholars who have measured other constructs by use of a single item indicator have found these brief instruments to be valid and reliable (e.g., quality of life, depression, self-esteem). For example, single item indicators were found to have strong test-retest reliability and to be comparable to multiple item indicators (e.g., convergent validity, predictive power; Andrews and Withey 1976;Robins et al 2001;Zimmerman et al 2006).…”

Helicopter Parenting and Emerging Adult Self-Efficacy: Implications for Mental and Physical Health

et al. 2016

Helicopter parenting has become an increasing concern among practitioners, college administrators, and professors. Further, some research has indicated that this form of parenting may have a deleterious effect on emerging adult college students' mental health. This study examines the factor structure of the Helicopter Parenting Behaviors measure, a recent scale developed to examine intrusive and supportive parenting behaviors, by using confirmatory factor analysis. We utilized a self-determination theoretical framework to replicate and expand current research regarding the impact of helicopter parenting and autonomy supportive parenting on emerging adult mental and physical well-being. Further, we examined selfefficacy as a mechanism for helicopter parenting and autonomy supportive parenting to impact well-being, using structural equation modeling with a sample of 461 emerging adult college students from a large southeastern, United States university. The two-factor structure of the Helicopter Parenting Behaviors measure was confirmed, indicating helicopter parenting and autonomy supportive parenting are two unique, but related, constructs. Both autonomy supportive parenting and helicopter parenting were found to have indirect effects on anxiety, depression, life satisfaction, and physical health through self-efficacy. Results also indicated autonomy supportive parenting was directly related to life satisfaction and physical health when accounting for self-efficacy, whereas helicopter parenting was not directly related to well-being. This study adds to the extant literature by its' application of a family-level lens to the self-determination theory, its' advancement of parenting behaviors measurement, and its' exploration of the continued influence of parenting during emerging adulthood.

“…The next three measures were single items. It is rather unconventional to apply single-item variables, but single items have been shown to yield reliable and valid data and predict outcomes effectively in certain conditions [42][43][44][45]. They even might be more economical and suitable than multiple item measures [46][47][48].…”

The current science, technology, engineering, art, math education (STEAM) approach emphasizes integration of abstract science and mathematical ideas for concrete solutions by art. The main aim was to find out how experience of learning mathematics differed between the contexts of school and an informal Math and Art Exhibition. The study participants ( = 256) were 12-13 years old from Finland. Several valid questionnaires and tests were applied (e.g., SRQ-A, RAVEN) in pre-and postdesign showing a good reliability. The results based on General Linear Modeling and Structural Equation Path Modeling underline the motivational effects. The experience of the effectiveness of hands-on learning at school and at the exhibition was not consistent across the subgroups. The lowest achieving group appreciated the exhibition alternative for math learning compared to learning math at school. The boys considered the exhibition to be more useful than the girls as it fostered their science and technology attitudes. However, for the girls, the attractiveness of the exhibition, the experienced situation motivation, was much more strongly connected to the attitudes on science and technology and the worthiness of mathematics. Interestingly, the pupils experienced that even this short informal learning intervention affected their science and technology attitudes and educational plans.
