Bulgarian Adaptation of the “Hope”, “Boredom” and “Helplessness” Scales from Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (Part I): NOB Class-Related Scale
Journal Title: Psychological Thought - Year 2021, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The Bulgarian adaptation of the “hope”, “boredom” and “hopelessness” scales of the Achievement emotions questionnaire (AEQ) was accomplished within a representative sample of 800 students. The Confirmatory and Exploratory analyses revealed that the 3 factor model with the three discrete emotions (hope, boredom, and hopelessness), standing for each of the individual factors, had an adequate fit. The reliability of the adapted scales is good (.80 < McDonald’s omega < .90). The validity of the instrument assessed with the between-scale correlations of the adapted scale (positive correlation between the same emotional valence and negative correlation between the different emotional valence scales) and the correlations between the adapted scales and the subject grade, GPA, and state exam grades of 7th graders are theoretically and empirically consistent. The same results for the reliability, validity, and internal structure of the adapted scale were confirmed in a subsequent study with an independent sample of 255 respondents.
