A Comparison of Teleneuropsychological and Traditional Neuropsychological Battery Factor Structures
This study compared the factor structures of a traditional neuropsychological battery, administered in-person, and a teleneuropsychological battery, administered remotely. Participants were divided into two groups dependent on test condition (i.e., in- person or remote). Individuals in the …

Testing Measurement Invariance in Multilevel Data with Unequal Cross-Level Factor Structures
… the multiple-group multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (MMCFA) and the design-based approaches. The MMCFA approach estimates sample covariance matrices at different levels separately. The design-based approach treats nested data as single-level and accounts for data dependency by …

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. …

New Factor Structure Models and Idiosyncratic Volatility
<p>In this dissertation, I propose new factor structures that are based on the Fama-French style factors but include additional locations like the industry groups and the exchanges where the stocks are traded. I show that the stock returns are clustered around the industry groups and the exchanges. …

Factor Analysis of the MMPI-A Content Scales: Item-Level and Scale-Level Analyses
… identified and interpreted the overall factor structure of the MMPI-A content scales through the use of scale-level analyses, and examined the factor structure of each individual content scale through item-level analyses. The MMPI-A normative sample (805 males, 815 females) and a …

Though forced, still valid: Psychometric equivalence of forced-choice and single-statement measures
… scored with an ideal point model yielded similar factor structures and almost identical criterion-related validity across 12 criteria. Both formats also had similar pattern of marginal reliabilities and test-retest reliabilities. Study 1 findings were replicated in Study 2. In addition, we found …

African-American and Latino students' beliefs about knowledge and learning
… determine whether the original hypothesized five-factor structure would remain the same for these two populations or whether different factor structures would emerge thereby reflecting alternative belief patterns. A concern of this study was to investigate the construct validity of the instrument …

Impulse-control or impulse and control? Is impulse-control one, two, or more constructs? Development of domain specific impulse-control (DSIC) measure
… equation modeling was used to test multiple factor structures. The findings supported a bifactor model in which both general and domain-specific factors of impulse and control explained unique variance. Domain-specific DSIC scores showed distinct associations with personality traits, health …
