On The Factor Structure invariance of the PhD UEE Using Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis
The aim of the current study was twofold: (1) to validate the internal structure of the general English (GE) section of the university entrance examination for Ph.D applicants into the English programs at state universities in Iran (Ph.D. UEE), and (2) to examine the factor structure invariance of the Ph.D. UEE across two proficiency levels. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyz...
متن کاملStudying Measurement Invariance Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis
For any such use of scale scores, there is a critical assumption that the scale is measuring the same trait in all of the groups. If that assumption holds, then comparisons and analyses of those scores are acceptable and yield meaningful interpretations. But if that assumption is not true, then such comparisons and analyses do not yield meaningful results. This is the general issue of (MI). mea...
متن کاملConfirmatory Factor Analysis
This article is the second of two on the use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) as a method to assess construct validity. The construct validation criteria required by the conventional MTMM approach are satisfied only by certain ideal data sets, such as those in which the method variance of measures is very low. The CFA approach to multitraitmultimethod (MTMM) data is more general, in that v...
متن کاملPrincipal Components Analysis , Exploratory Factor Analysis , and Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Principal components analysis and factor analysis are common methods used to analyze groups of variables for the purpose of reducing them into subsets represented by latent constructs (Bartholomew, 1984; Grimm & Yarnold, 1995). Even though PCA shares some important characteristics with factor analytic methods such as exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the ...
