The goal of environmental education is ultimately to enable a person to strive for and to attain a more ecological way of life. In this article, we begin by distinguishing three forms of environmental knowledge and go on to predict that people's attitude toward nature represents the force that drives their ecological behavioral engagement. Based on data from 1,907 students, we calibrated previously established instruments to measure ecological behavior, environmental knowledge, and attitude toward nature with Rasch-type models. Using path modeling, we corroborated our theoretically anticipated competence structure. While environmental knowledge revealed a modest behavioral effect, attitude toward nature turned out to be, as expected, the stronger determinant of behavior. Overall, we propose a competence model that has the potential to guide us into more evidence-based ways of promoting the overall ecological engagement of individuals. (DIPF/Orig.)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Brazilian version of WHOQOL-OLD Module and to test potential changes to the instrument to increase its psychometric adequacy. METHODS: A total of 424 older adults living in a city in Southern Brazil completed the WHOQOL-OLD instrument, in 2005. Rasch analysis was used to explore the psychometric performance of the scale, as implemented by the RUMM2020 software. Item-trait interaction, threshold disorders, presence of differential item functioning and item fit, were analyzed. RESULTS: Two ("death and dying" and "sensory abilities") out of six domains showed inadequate item-trait interactions. Rescoring the response scale and deleting the most misperforming items led to scale improvement. The evaluation of domains and items individually showed that the "intimacy" domain does perform well in contrast to the findings using the classical approach. In addition, the "sensory abilities" domain does not derive an interval measure in its current format. CONCLUSIONS: Unidimensionality and local independence were seen in all domains. Changes in the response scale and deletion of problematic items improved the scale's performance.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the validity of the Brazilian version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument - Abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF) in adults with major depression, using Rasch modelling. METHODS: Study analyzing data from the baseline sample of the Longitudinal Investigation of Depression Outcomes in Brazil, including a total of 208 patients with major depression recruited in a primary care service in Porto Alegre (Southern Brazil), in 1999. The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale was used to assess intensity of depression; the WHOQOL-BREF to assess generic quality of life; and the Composite International Diagnostic Interview version 2.1 for the diagnosis of depression. RESULTS: In the Rasch analysis, the four domains of WHOQOL-BREF showed appropriate fit to this model. Some items needed adjustments: four items were rescored (pain, finances, services, and transport); two items (work and activity) were identified as having dependency of responses, and one item was deleted (sleep) due to multidimensionality. CONCLUSIONS: The validation of the WHOQOL-BREF Brazilian version using Rasch analysis complements previous validation studies, evidencing the robustness of this instrument as a generic cross-cultural quality of life measure.

Diese Bachelorarbeit entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit der Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin. In bestimmten Arbeitsgebieten sind die Arbeitnehmer Gesundheitsrisiken durch Vibrationen ausgesetzt. Um diese hinichtlich ihrer Intensität besser beurteilen zu können, führte die Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin ein Experiment durch bei dem die Probanden unterschiedlich starken Vibrationen ausgesetzt waren und diese beurteilen sollten. Im Laufe der Arbeit wurden die Daten mit der Varianzanalyse und dem linearen gemischten Modell ausgewertet. Dabei wurden die beiden Verfahren zunächst näher erläutert und dann die Durchführung an den Praxisdaten beschrieben. Anschließend wurden die beiden Ergebnisse, die die beiden Verfahren liefern, verglichen. Desweiteren wurde ein U-Test durchgeführt um die Kurvenverläufe von der ISO-Kurve und der experimentell gewonnenen Kurve auf Gleichheit zu überprüfen. Zuletzt wird ein kurzer Ausblick gegeben, wie die Daten weiter ausgewertet werden könnten.

INTRODUCTION The Rasch model is increasingly used in the field of rehabilitation because it improves the accuracy of measurements of patient status and their changes after therapy. OBJECTIVE To determine the long-term effectiveness of a holistic neuropsychological rehabilitation program for Spanish outpatients with acquired brain injury (ABI) using Rasch analysis. METHODS Eighteen patients (ten with long evolution - patients who started the program > 6 months after ABI- and eight with short evolution) and their relatives attended the program for 6 months. Patients' and relatives' answers to the European Brain Injury Questionnaire and the Frontal Systems Behavior Scale at 3 time points (pre-intervention. post-intervention and 12 month follow-up) were transformed into linear measures called logits. RESULTS The linear measures revealed significant improvements with large effects at the follow-up assessment on cognitive and executive functioning, social and emotional self-regulation, apathy and mood. At follow-up, the short evolution group achieved greater improvements in mood and cognitive functioning than the long evolution patients. CONCLUSIONS The program showed long-term effectiveness for most of the variables, and it was more effective for mood and cognitive functioning when patients were treated early. Relatives played a key role in the effectiveness of the rehabilitation program.

Jeder Mensch hat seine eigene Art, Emotionen, Gefühle und Stimmungen zu erleben und zu verarbeiten. Die verschiedenen emotionalen Zustände und die Formen ihrer Verarbeitung spannen sich über ein komplexes Kontinuum: sie umfassen unsere schönsten persönlichen Erlebnisse, können aber auch wichtige psychologische Probleme zum Ausdruck bringen. Diese Komplexität wird in der Psychologie, aber auch in anderen Wissenschaften, stärker denn je diskutiert und stellt eine große Herausforderung für Diagnostik und Intervention dar.«Emotionale Offenheit» wird als mehrdimensionaler Ansatz vorgestellt, um der Spannbreite der Emotionsverarbeitung gerecht zu werden und den Herausforderungen in Diagnostik und Intervention im klinischen Kontext zu begegnen.Der beiliegenden Fragebogen und eine Reihe von Anwendungsbeispielen machen aus dem Buch auch ein Instrument für die Praxis.
