The Mizan meta-memory and meta-concentration scale for students (MMSS): a test of its psychometric validity in a sample of university students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Predisposing factors for metacognitive dysfunctions are common in university students. However, there is currently no valid questionnaire instrument designed to assess metacognitive aspects including meta-memory and meta-concentration in students. To address this need, the present study investigated the psychometric validity of a brief questionnaire, the Mizan meta-memory and meta-concentration scale for students (MMSS) in university students.

Materials and methods

A cross-sectional study with simple random sampling was conducted among students (n = 383, age = 18-35, body mass index = 21.2 ± 3.4 kg/m²) of Mizan-Tepi University, Ethiopia. MMSS, a socio-demographics questionnaire, and the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) were employed.
