TLDR
Strong measurement partial invariance over 5 passion activity groups indicates that the same set of items is appropriate for assessing passion across a wide variety of activities--a previously untested, implicit assumption that greatly enhances practical utility.Abstract:
The passion scale, based on the dualistic model of passion, measures 2 distinct types of passion: Harmonious and obsessive passions are predictive of adaptive and less adaptive outcomes, respectively. In a substantive-methodological synergy, we evaluate the construct validity (factor structure, reliability, convergent and discriminant validity) of Passion Scale responses (N = 3,571). The exploratory structural equation model fit to the data was substantially better than the confirmatory factor analysis solution, and resulted in better differentiated (less correlated) factors. Results from a 13-model taxonomy of measurement invariance supported complete invariance (factor loadings, factor correlations, item uniquenesses, item intercepts, and latent means) over language (French vs. English; the instrument was originally devised in French, then translated into English) and gender. Strong measurement partial invariance over 5 passion activity groups (leisure, sport, social, work, education) indicates that the same set of items is appropriate for assessing passion across a wide variety of activities--a previously untested, implicit assumption that greatly enhances practical utility. Support was found for the convergent and discriminant validity of the harmonious and obsessive passion scales, based on a set of validity correlates: life satisfaction, rumination, conflict, time investment, activity liking and valuation, and perceiving the activity as a passion.read more

The psychology of passion: A meta-analytical review of a decade of research on intrapersonal outcomes.
Thomas Curran,Andrew P. Hill,Paul R. Appleton,Robert J. Vallerand,Robert J. Vallerand,Martyn Standage +5 more
TL;DR: This paper conducted a meta-analytical review of relationships between Vallerand et al's two passions (viz. harmonious and obsessive), and intrapersonal outcomes, and test the moderating role of age, gender, domain and culture.

Linking job demands and resources to burnout and work engagement: Does passion underlie these differential relationships?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of passion for work in the health impairment and motivational processes proposed by the job demands-resources model, and proposed that harmonious and obsessive passion intervened simultaneously in the relationship between (1) job demands and burnout/engagement, and (2) job resources and job engagement.

Obsessive Passion: A Compensatory Response to Unsatisfied Needs
Daniel Lalande,Robert J. Vallerand,Robert J. Vallerand,Marc-André K. Lafrenière,Jérémie Verner-Filion,François-Albert Laurent,Jacques Forest,Yvan Paquet +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that OP may represent a form of compensatory striving for psychological need satisfaction, inside and outside the passionate activity, when investigating determinants of optimal and less optimal forms of activity engagement.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives
Li-tze Hu,Peter M. Bentler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

Edward L. Deci,Richard M. Ryan +1 more
TL;DR: Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as mentioned in this paper maintains that an understanding of human motivation requires a consideration of innate psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness, emphasizing that needs specify the necessary conditions for psychological growth, integrity, and well-being.

Back-Translation for Cross-Cultural Research
TL;DR: The authors investigated factors that affect translation quality and how equivalence between source and target versions can be evaluated through an analysis of variance design, and concluded that translation quality can be predicted, and that a functionally equivalent translation can be demonstrated when responses to the original and target translations are studied.

TL;DR: The SIMPLIS language shifts the focus away from the technical question "How to do it", so that researchers can concentrate on the question, "What does it all mean?"
