The purpose of present study was to develop an instrument to measure perceptions on good instruction for middle and high school students and to evaluate the scale’s construct and criterion-related validity. The participants were 998 8 and 11 graders. I performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis for construct validity and analyzed and structure equation modeling among perspectives on...

The widespread diffusion of Facebook use has resulted in a host of psychological studies that measure online self-disclosure and other variables related to online behaviour, including the benefits and risks associated with Fb use and issues of trust and control over information. Recently, a study group headed by Krasnova proposed a comprehensive 54-item instrument to measure 10 different dimens...

In this study, we developed a conceptual model for electronic business (e-business or EB) adoption incorporating six adoption facilitators and inhibitors, based on the technology-organization-environment framework. Survey data from 3,100 businesses and 7,500 consumers in eight European countries were used to test the model. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis to assess the reliability and...

Knowledge management in the digital economy is playing a critical role in the strategic direction of any organization. Factors that determine the key characteristics of any knowledge management systems are critical for understanding the phenomena of knowledge management. For this reason that sharing and managing knowledge involves a series of activities that are related to culture, the findings...

Researchers must make numerous choices when conducting factor analyses, each of which can have significant ramifications on the model results. They must decide on an appropriate sample size to achieve accurate parameter estimates and adequate power, a factor model and estimation method, a method for determining the number of factors and evaluating model fit, and a rotation criterion. Unfortunat...

Vol. 47, No. 3, 2018 This study investigated the interaction of disciplinary and interdisciplinary learning in a teamtaught, first-year, interdisciplinary sustainability course. We surveyed (pre/post) both STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and non-STEM majors (N = 241), assessing attitudes and content knowledge. Responses were analyzed using factor analysis, classical tes...

Objective: The study aimed to develop a perceived autonomy support scale for exercise settings (PASSES) in young people. Design: Cross-sectional questionnaire survey. Methods: In Study 1,432 school pupils responded to an initial pool of perceived autonomy support items with physical education (PE) teachers as the source of support. The validity of the initial factor structure of the PASSES was ...

An instrument, based on the developed conceptual framework to identify variables that are critical for the success of Healthcare Information Systems adoption in India, is tested for reliability and validity. This research uses Confirmatory Factor Analysis to establish and confirm the fitness of the model using Structural Equation Modeling.

The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) has been widely used to predict behavioral intention of different kinds. However, there is a lack of studies that have measured the factorial structure of the TPB instrument. In addition, findings that apply to one context may not be appropriate in different settings. Thus, it is important to focus on measurement and instrument development issues to contribu...
