Confirmatory factor analysis of the collective self esteem scale
… context. The CSE was evaluated using item analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. According to the findings of this study the Collective Self Esteem Scale is a reliable instrument for South African use, but confirmatory factor analysis determined that it is not factorially valid. The fit …

A multi-sample confirmatory factor analysis of work-family conflict
… with either domain. Results of a multi-sample confirmatory factor analysis failed to confirm the hypothesis of construct bias or the prediction that White women would be more sensitive to work interference with family life than the reverse. The results of this study supported the prediction …

Vietnamese Resilience Assessment: Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis for Scale Validation
… study carried out both an exploratory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analysis using the dataset that was obtained from the results of the Healthy Student Survey-Vietnam study (HSSV; Hass et al., 2014). Specifically, the study sought out to answer the following research questions: (1) What is …

The faith and civic engagement scale: Principle components and confirmatory factor analysis
The two present studies ran an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis on the Perceptions and Expectations section of the Faith and Civic Engagement (FACE) scale, which identified common themes and thus created a new, more concise measure designed for use by colleges and universities. The new …

Defining the Construct of Malingered PTSD in Civil Litigation: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis
… both performance-based and symptom-based latent factors. The present study aimed to extend these findings to a simulated personal injury paradigm, in which PTSD is alleged without concurrent physical injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury). As a part of larger research initiative, 411 undergraduate …

A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of WRAML Scores in a Group of Academically Talented Students
… of this study was to confirm the original factor structure of the Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning (WRAML) utilizing a non-clinical adolescent population. Additional analysis examined the relationship between SAT-M scores and spatial relations ability. Exploratory analyses were …

Treatment Matching in PTSD: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis Based On Therapeutic Mechanisms of Action
… to functional impairment. Based on the factor analytic and treatment literature for PTSD, it appears that there are two central mechanisms associated with beneficial therapeutic change that underlies both CPT and PE treatments (i.e., habituation, changes in cognitions). Additionally, …

A comparison of confirmatory factor analysis and task analysis of fluid intelligence cognitive subtests
… have used ability data analyzed through factor analytic methods, while narrow ability classifications have used data about subtest task demands. The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether subtest similarity judgments based on task demands data, and judgments based on …

Selecting an Optimal Measurement Model and Detecting Differential Item Functioning Using Bayesian Confirmatory Factor Analysis
I investigated the sampling behavior of DIC and WAIC in the context of selecting an optimal measurement model in Bayesian SEM, as well as the utility of highly constrained parameter estimates in detecting differential item functioning (DIF). I assessed the relative efficiency of WAIC compared to …

Methods of Detecting Differential Item Functioning: A Comparison of Item Response Theory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis
… compares Item Response Theory (IRT) and three Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) methods for detecting DIF. The three CFA methods were Model Comparison (MC), Modification Indexes (MI), and Modification Indexes-Divided sample (MI-Divided).</p> <p>The research compared the detection rates of DIF …

Confirmatory factor analysis of the narcissistic personality inventory (NPI) and the self-report of psychopathy scale (SRPII)
… of psychopathy scale (SRPII), in terms of their factor structures. Competing factor structures for each scale were assessed via confirmatory factor analysis (n=581). Competing models were obtained from published literature associated with each scale and also through exploratory factor analysis. …

Evaluating the error of measurement due to categorical scaling with a measurement invariance approach to confirmatory factor analysis
… a measurement invariance (MI) approach to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in order to directly compare the measurement quality of continuously scaled factor models to that of discretely scaled models. The simulated design conditions of the study varied with respect to item-specific …

Using the Fraction of Missing Information (FMI) in Selecting Auxiliary Variables to Impute Missingness in Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)
… auxiliary variables in imputing missing data in confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). This was done by conducting two studies (a simulation study and an empirical study). A Monte Carlo simulation technique was used to compare the performance and the effect of the restrictive strategy based on FMI …

Understanding the schooling and literacy beliefs, behaviors, and self-efficacy of early head start parents using confirmatory factor analysis: A pilot survey study
… a 34-item survey that was further analyzed for factorial validity and reliability during a pilot survey. Analysis of the pilot survey was used to answer the second research question: What is the best fit model to measure parents’ schooling and literacy beliefs, behaviors and self-efficacy? …

Self-report Measures of Psychopathic and Schizotypal Personality Characteristics: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Characteristics of Antisocial Behavior and Hypothetical Psychosis-Proneness in a College Sample
… hypothetical psychosis-proneness by performing Confirmatory Factor Analyses on different proposed factor structures of both psychopathic and schizotypic subclinical symptoms using data from a college sample. The study validated and provided evidence for existing structures of each construct. …

Essays in Corporate Saving, Financial Development, and *Growth
… Growth as Latent Variables: An Application of Confirmatory Factor Analysis"". It is well-known that the rate of economic growth per capita can be decomposed into two sources: total factor productivity and capital per worker. Our claim is that the measurement of these sources of growth suffers …

The development and empirical test of a scale to measure organizational values for corporate excellence
The purpose of this study was two-fold. First a confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test the validity of a theoretical model of corporate values. The model hypothesized was supported by relevant research cited in the literature on corporate cultures, organizational change and values …
