Dropouts from community colleges: path analysis of a national sample
The nighttime losses from an integral collector storage (ICS) system were investigated. The significance of the sky temperature, wind speed, and ambient temperature on the losses were examined. Outdoor data was taken on several nights to characterize the thermal performance of an ICS system under …

Dropouts from community colleges: path analysis of a national sample
… higher education. The data were analyzed using path analyses procedures. Results only partially supported Tinto's theory. Major findings revealed that: 1) background variables directly affected persistence, no matter how defined, 2) the ability of Tinto's model to explain persistence may be …

Exploring the Relationship Between Psychological Resources and Breast Cancer Survivorship using Path Analysis
… being the larger contributor (34% vs. 29%). Path analysis revealed that only age at diagnosis negatively predicts length of survivorship (S.E. = -221, CR = .094 P = -2.338, p = .019) and EI is a weak potential mediator (S.E. = -023, CR = .013, P = -.786, p = .074). It may be concluded with …

A Test of a Model of Sexual Victimization: A Latent Variable Path Analysis
… models of sexual victimization that examined the path between child abuse and later sexual victimization. Hypothesized mediating variables were negative cognitive schemas, dissociation, risky behaviors, and coping strategies. Structural equation modeling was used to examine two competing models of …

AN EMPIRICAL TEST OF A COGNITIVE MODEL OF PTSD USING PATH ANALYSIS AND STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING
… Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptom maintenance using path analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM). Ehlers and Clark's model suggests that a reciprocal relationship between cognitive appraisals of the traumatic event and characteristics of the trauma memory maintain symptoms by increasing one's …

Joint relationship of four types of involvement (SI, EI, AMI and RI) : path analysis model combining mediation and moderation
The current study addresses the overarching issue of the role that different types of involvement play in cognitive and behavioral processes and attitude formation by investigating 1) if and how SI and EI function jointly to form the level of AMI, 2) how SI, EI and AMI are interwoven to affect the …
