Examining the Cross Cultural Sensitivity of the Revised Two Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R SPQ 2F) and Validation of a Dutch Version
The Revised Two Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R SPQ 2F) is used to examine students' study approaches in higher education. The questionnaire assumes to measure two factors: a deep and a surface study approach. Analyses into the validity and reliability of the original English R SPQ 2F yielded positive results. In this study, we examined the degree to which these positive results can also be found for the Dutch version that we developed. By comparing our results with the results of earlier studies in different cultures, we conclude cross cultural sensitivity is an important point to be borne in mind when using the R SPQ 2F. Our research supports the validity and reliability of our Dutch version of the R SPQ 2F.
