| Format | Items rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly agree). |
| Administration Method | Electronic |
| Factors and Subscales | Academic Behavior (AB); Social Activity (SA); Social Interaction (SI) |
| Number of Items | 16 |
| Reliability | Cronbach’s alpha coefficients: Academic Behavior (.90), Social Activity (.96), Social Interaction (.93). |
| Validity | Concurrent Validity: Positive correlations with academic anxiety: AB (r = .32, p < .001), SA (r = .28, p < .001), SI (r = .21, p < .001). Convergent Validity: AVE values (AB = 0.59, SA = 0.85, SI = 0.74) > 0.5; CR values (AB = 0.91, SA = 0.97, SI = 0.92) > 0.7. |
| Factor Analysis | Exploratory Factor Analysis: PCA revealed a three-factor model explaining 74.85% variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis: Goodness-of-fit indices confirmed model appropriateness (χ² = 236.33, df = 101, χ²/df = 2.34, GFI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.07, RMR = 0.04, CFI = 0.96, NFI = 0.94). |
| Test Methodology | Test Validity (Concurrent, Construct, Content, Convergent Validity); Test Reliability (Internal Consistency); Factor Analysis (EFA, CFA, PCA). |
