本研究旨在检验成人元记忆问卷(MIA)中存在多种元记忆因素的假设。来自六项关于记忆/元记忆关系的独立研究(总计N=750)的七个MIA量表的数据被组合在一起，以产生两个用于交叉验证目的的半样本。样本被分为青年组、中年组和老年组。然后对数据进行多组验证性因素分析，用前半个样本建立模型，后半个样本进行验证。尽管这两个模型没有完全交叉验证，但两项分析都表明，MIA中至少存在两个更高阶的因素。第一个涉及对使用记忆的自我效能感的信念。第二个因素结合了关于记忆的知识和与记忆有关的情感(例如，成就动机)。分析还表明，第二个因素(暂定为知识)的因素负荷在三个年龄组之间是不变的，但自我效能信念的因素负荷存在年龄差异。这些差异局限于MIA Change和Locus量表中与年龄相关的负荷增加。双因素解决方案有可能解决文献中关于元记忆和元记忆/记忆绩效关系的年龄差异的相互矛盾的结果。
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that there are multiple factors of metamemory present in the Metamemory in Adulthood (MIA) questionnaire. Data on seven MIA scales from six separate studies of memory/metamemory relationships (totalN= 750) were combined to yield two half-samples for cross-validation purposes. The samples were partitioned into young, middle-aged, and old groups. A multiple group confirmatory factor analysis was then conducted on the data, using the first half sample to develop a model and the second half sample to validate it. Although the models did not fully cross-validate, both analyses indicated that there are at least two higher-order factors in the MIA. The first involves beliefs about self-efficacy in using memory. The second factor combines knowledge about memory and affect concerning memory (e.g., achievement motivation). The analyses also indicated that the factor loadings for the second factor, tentatively labelled Knowledge, were invariant across the three age groups, but that there were age differences in the Self-Efficacy Beliefs factor loadings. The differences were localized to age-related increases in the loadings for the MIA Change and Locus scales. The two factor solution has potential for resolving conflicting results in the literature regarding age differences in both metamemory and metamemory/memory performance relationships.
