• In Event: General Conference Roundtables
  In Roundtable: Table 8: Critical Thinking and Self-Authorship

Abstract

This study challenges prevailing views of critical thinking by operationalizing Davies (2015) theoretical notion of critical being and developing a new measure to assess this construct. The measurement development strategy is articulated and results of confirmatory factor analyses are provided. Finally, conceptual and empirical implications of this study are discussed.
