Principles and Practice of Scaled Difference Chi-Square Testing (2012, background): “A colleague (Mary Johnston, James Madison University) has shared with us an empirical example that dramatically illustrates the potential pitfall of scaling differences in NTWLS chi-square values (Johnston & Finney, 2010).”
Measuring Need Satisfaction and Frustration in Educational and Work Contexts: The Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (NSFS) (2016, methodology): “Furthermore, careful examination reveals that there are theoretical concerns with items included in many of the scales (e.g. Johnston and Finney 2010).”
General Need for Autonomy and Subjective Well-Being: A Meta-Analysis of Studies in the US and East Asia (2017, neutral): “When the study reported only one affective or cognitive measure, that effect size was used (e.g., Johnston and Finney 2010, study in Table 2).”
An investigation of the unique, synergistic and balanced relationships between basic psychological needs and intrinsic motivation (2013, methodology): “Confirmatory factor analyses of a shorter version of the BNSS (which eliminates several of the original items) showed that a three-factor model (controlling for negatively worded items) fit the data better than a one-factor model (Johnston & Finney, 2010).”
Don't be so hard on yourself! Changes in self-compassion during the first year of university are associated with changes in well-being (2017, background): “…measurement of PNS, combined with the documented problems with the original scale (Johnston & Finney, 2010; Sheldon & Hilpert, 2012) and the negatively worded items (Gunnell, Bélanger, & Brunet, 2016; Johnston & Finney, 2010), the negatively worded items (n = 9) were removed from further analysis.”
Teachers’ Innovative Behaviour: The Importance of Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction, Intrinsic Motivation, and Occupational Self-Efficacy (2018, methodology): “Because strong empirical evidence of the dimensionality of the Basic Need Satisfaction at Work Scale is lacking (Johnston & Finney, 2010), an explorative factor analysis (principal component analysis with varimax rotation) was performed in order to replicate the structure of the Basic Need…”
The role of psychological needs in ceasing music and music learning activities (2013, background): “Johnston and Finney (2010) attempted to overcome this limitation by focusing on confirmatory factor analysis as a means to obtain a clear linear structure; however a clear factor solution could not be obtained, and the final solution does not contain any autonomy-inhibiting items, thus missing this…”
Understanding the need for novelty from the perspective of self-determination theory (2016, methodology): “The Spanish version comprised 16 items, in contrast to the 21 items of the original version, and a negativeworded method effect following the model proposed by Johnston and Finney (2010).”
