          Abstract

          Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Recovery Experience Questionnaire in Argentina. Five-hundred and five workers from public, private and non-governmental sectors participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the four-factor model has an acceptable fit to the data. Thus, as the original scale, the Argentinean validation maintains the four recovery experiences-psychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery experiences and control over leisure time. Reliability analyses showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α ranging from .75 to .92) and construct reliability (coefficient H ranging from .88 to .93) for all sub-scales. Expected correlations with measures of work engagement, burnout and negative affect supported for criterion validity. Thus, the Recovery Experience Questionnaire shows adequate psychometric properties for its use in Argentina, thereby providing a reliable instrument that allows deepening knowledge about recovery, and a valuable assessment tool for practitioners.

          Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio consistió en examinar las propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Experiencias de Recuperación para su uso en Argentina. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 505 trabajadores provenientes del sector público, privado y organizaciones no gubernamentales. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio evidenciaron que un modelo de cuatro factores ─distanciamiento psicológico del trabajo, relajación, búsqueda de retos y control sobre el tiempo libre─ presentó un buen ajuste a los datos. Por lo tanto, el cuestionario mantiene la misma estructura que la escala original. Los análisis de confiabilidad mostraron que la escala posee una adecuada consistencia interna (α = .75 - .92) y fiabilidad de constructo (H = .88 - .93). Se examinó la validez test-criterio con medidas de burnout, work engagement y afecto, obteniéndose relaciones teóricamente esperadas. En conclusión, la escala posee adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para ser utilizada en el contexto argentino, permitiendo disponer de un instrumento confiable que permite profundizar el conocimiento sobre la recuperación y brindando una herramienta valiosa para la práctica profesional.

          Confirmatory factor analysis with ordinal data: Comparing robust maximum likelihood and diagonally weighted least squares.

          In confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the use of maximum likelihood (ML) assumes that the observed indicators follow a continuous and multivariate normal distribution, which is not appropriate for ordinal observed variables. Robust ML (MLR) has been introduced into CFA models when this normality assumption is slightly or moderately violated. Diagonally weighted least squares (WLSMV), on the other hand, is specifically designed for ordinal data. Although WLSMV makes no distributional assumptions about the observed variables, a normal latent distribution underlying each observed categorical variable is instead assumed. A Monte Carlo simulation was carried out to compare the effects of different configurations of latent response distributions, numbers of categories, and sample sizes on model parameter estimates, standard errors, and chi-square test statistics in a correlated two-factor model. The results showed that WLSMV was less biased and more accurate than MLR in estimating the factor loadings across nearly every condition. However, WLSMV yielded moderate overestimation of the interfactor correlations when the sample size was small or/and when the latent distributions were moderately nonnormal. With respect to standard error estimates of the factor loadings and the interfactor correlations, MLR outperformed WLSMV when the latent distributions were nonnormal with a small sample size of N = 200. Finally, the proposed model tended to be over-rejected by chi-square test statistics under both MLR and WLSMV in the condition of small sample size N = 200.

            Belief and feeling: evidence for an accessibility model of emotional self-report.

            This review organizes a variety of phenomena related to emotional self-report. In doing so, the authors offer an accessibility model that specifies the types of factors that contribute to emotional self-reports under different reporting conditions. One important distinction is between emotion, which is episodic, experiential, and contextual, and beliefs about emotion, which are semantic, conceptual, and decontextualized. This distinction is important in understanding the discrepancies that often occur when people are asked to report on feelings they are currently experiencing versus those that they are not currently experiencing. The accessibility model provides an organizing framework for understanding self-reports of emotion and suggests some new directions for research.

              The Recovery Experience Questionnaire: development and validation of a measure for assessing recuperation and unwinding from work.

              Drawing on the mood regulation and job-stress recovery literature, four self-report measures for assessing how individuals unwind and recuperate from work during leisure time were developed (Study 1). Confirmatory factor analyses with a calibration and a cross-validation sample (total N=930) showed that four recovery experiences can be differentiated: psychological detachment from work, relaxation, mastery, and control (Study 2). Examination of the nomological net in a subsample of Study 2 (N=271) revealed moderate relations of the recovery experiences with measures of job stressors and psychological well-being; relations with coping and personality variables were generally low (Study 3). Potential applications for the future use of these short 4-item measures in longitudinal and diary research are discussed. Copyright 2007 APA
