Abstract

Dimensional reduction is one of the methods to ensure the quality of a questionnaire. This study examined two methods to reduce the dimension of the questionnaire: multidimensional scaling (MDS) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The questionnaire, Awareness of Academic Dishonesty consists of 30 questions. Participants included 110 college students. Multidimensional scaling analysis reduced the multidimensions to essentially two dimensions. The exploratory factor analysis reduced the multidimensions to three dimensions. MDS allowed the researchers to evaluate the questionnaire items by looking at the similarities of these data points. EFA provided an alternative thought about the construct of the questionnaire.
学术诚信调查工具的维度与效度检验
降维是保证问卷质量的方法之一。本研究探讨了两种降低问卷维度的方法:多维标度(MDS)和探索性因子分析(EFA)。调查问卷《学术不诚信意识》共有30个问题。参与者包括110名大学生。多维尺度分析将多维维度本质上简化为二维。探索性因子分析将多个维度简化为三个维度。MDS允许研究人员通过观察这些数据点的相似性来评估问卷项目。全民教育为问卷的构建提供了另一种思路。
