Research in human development often relies on composites, that is, composed variables such as indices. Their composite nature renders these inaccessible to conventional factor-centric psychometric validation techniques confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In the context of research, there is currently no appropriate technique available for assessing composites with same degree rigor comparable k...

Method: 361 participants (168 males and 193 females), aged 20 to 40 (M = 26.50; SD = 4.99) were recruited. A confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) was performed to test the multidimensional structure of the scale. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to verify the reliability. The predictive validity was assessed examining associations between different dimensions of the romantic jealousy and ins...

This study re-examines the construct of financial inclusion, through a literature review and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). First, we conduct systematic definitions, measures data sources. Second, apply CFA to test two prominent inclusion indices. The reveals high correlation between ‘access’ ‘use’ dimensions; hence, indices fail capture multidimensionality inclusion. Existing tend be bias...

information technology (it) in the present era has affectedall aspects of organizations as a new strategy; therefore imagine anorganization without it and keeping abreast with new technologies seemsimpossible. the current research seeks to identify factors affecting theadoption of it innovation in governmental organizations. to this end theindices affecting it innovation adoption have been extr...

a valid questionnaire is a precursor to a sound measurement process. this study examined the psychometric properties of the persian version of the revised competitive state anxiety inventory – 2 (csai-2r). a total of 131 female taekwondo athletes (mean age =12.37 ± 2.52) from damghan completed csai-2r at competition venues. confirmatory factor analysis was used to analyze the structure of csai-...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the information acquired through the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine in patients with bronchial asthma, and to classify the syndrome types. METHODS Four hundred and thirty patients with bronchial asthma were randomly investigated. The information acquired through the four diagnostic methods was recorded and the database was established by Amos ...

The structure of the Woodcock-Johnson Cognitive Battery-Third Edition (WJ Cog) has been extensively explored via confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with its normative sample, but there has been little research to verify that the same structure holds for students referred for special education services. Likewise, research on the structure of the WJ Cog with exploratory factor analysis (EFA) meth...

conclusions this study provided evidence regarding the reliability and validity of the iranian male adolescent outcome expectation about leisure time physical activity (imao-pac) and illustrated that this new questionnaire can be used to measure the perceived exercise benefits among target group in observational and interventional studies. background outcome expectation (oe) is known as a psych...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the application Scale for Total Impression Drawings (STID) in assessment tree-drawing test. Forty-three tests were evaluated by three raters using STID. validity factor structure was examined confirmatory analysis (CFA). A three-factor model “vitality” (? = 0.90), “gentleness” 0.89), and “reality” 0.89) confirmed fit indexes adequate (CFI =.984, RMSEA...

conclusions although ceiling effects should be considered for rehabilitation targets, the two-factor model of fim (motor and cognitive independence) has an eligible fitness for iranian patients with tbi. results the results of this study showed that the floor effect was not observed; however, ceiling effects were observed for the fim total score and its subscales. the confirmatory factor analys...
