Examining the construct validity of the adapted California Critical Thinking Dispositions (CCTDI) among university students in Malaysia

This research aims at evaluating the psychometric properties of the adapted California Critical Thinking Dispositions (CCTDI) particularly the construct validity. CCTDI consists of 75 Likert-type items measuring seven dispositions, namely truth-seeking, open-mindedness, analyticity, systematicity, i...
