However, name-based instructor\u2013student interaction has rarely been conceptualized as a multidimensional construct, and no psychometrically evaluated instrument is available for medical education. This study developed and psychometrically evaluated a pilot questionnaire assessing students\u2019 perceived experiences of being addressed by name in medical teaching contexts.Methods: Questionnaire development followed a multistep exploratory approach that included qualitative input, iterative item refinement, and expert content review. An initial pool of 59 items was administered to medical students (n=270) from semesters 2\u201310 at a German medical faculty. Factor structure was examined using exploratory factor analysis based on Pearson correlations, oblique rotation, and predefined item-reduction criteria. Internal consistency was assessed using McDonald\u2019s \u03c9 and Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1, discriminant validity using the heterotrait\u2013monotrait ratio, and generalized partial credit models were estimated separately for each factor.Results: Exploratory factor analysis yielded a parsimonious 3-factor solution comprising 15 items: cognitive activation, appreciation &amp; social belonging, and social evaluative anxiety. The final model showed good fit, and all factors demonstrated strong internal consistency (\u03c9=0.84\u20130.88), good measurement precision (expected a posteriori reliability=0.83\u20130.88), adequate discriminant validity (heterotrait\u2013monotrait ratio &lt;0.85), and acceptable item fit.Conclusion: The pilot questionnaire captures 3 distinct dimensions of name-based instructor\u2013student interaction and provides promising initial psychometric evidence for medical education research. It may support confirmatory validation and further study of relational teaching practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3352\/jeehp.2026.23.26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T07:50:16Z","timestamp":1786607416000},"page":"26","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3352\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Name-based instructor\u2013student interaction in medical teaching: development and psychometric evaluation of a pilot questionnaire"],"prefix":"10.3352","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1258-9312","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Liam Philipp","family":"Weber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9356-271X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Philipp","family":"Huber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5571-1582","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Julius","family":"Wiemschulte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"14441","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1187\/cbe.16-08-0265"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s44217-025-00878-9"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5334\/pme.1185"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10872981.2023.2259162"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10459-019-09935-z"},{"key":"ref6","volume-title":"","year":"2014"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2018.00149"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/feduc.2020.589965"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0146621616677520"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2021.713978"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40359-025-02412-w"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.53761\/s2he6n66"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10648-024-09974-y"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00986283251352451"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0142159X.2023.2216863"}],"container-title":["Journal of Educational Evaluation for Health Professions"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/jeehp.org\/upload\/pdf\/jeehp-23-26.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/jeehp.org\/DOIx.php?id=10.3352\/jeehp.2026.23.26","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/jeehp.org\/upload\/pdf\/jeehp-23-26.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,22]],"date-time":"2026-10-22T23:51:42Z","timestamp":1792713102000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/jeehp.org\/DOIx.php?id=10.3352\/jeehp.2026.23.26"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]]},"references-count":15,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3352\/jeehp.2026.23.26","relation":{},"ISSN":["1975-5937"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1975-5937","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2026-05-13","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-07-28","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-08-13","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
