Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5

Abstract

This paper reports the utility of a needs-based model psychological instrument in students beset with personal and academic issues using content analysis, and further discusses its initial validity measures using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA, CFA) in order to explain its psychometric soundness as needs model comprising these domains: Personal autonomy, Affective integration, Spiritual enrichment, Self-management, Career exploration, and Family attachment (PASSCF). After series of data analyses, the one-factor-six-dimensional model shows high consistency and validity wherein it signifies strong diagnostic ability to measure students? personal and academic problems affecting their college life in conjunction with other measures. Finally, implications for psycho-educational assessment and intervention are discussed based on research findings.
