The authors examine the construct validity of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) using first semester nursing students. Although 10 subscales have been identified by the authors of the instrument, factor analysis of the LASSI data obtained from the current subjects resulted in 4 reliable sub-scales. Results suggest that academic advisors, counselors, and learning center specialists should be cautious in the use of the LASSI with undergraduate students.
