Confirmatory 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...
full textEcosystem Biomimicry: A way to achieve thermal comfort in architecture
The strategies to reduce the consumption of non-renewable energies in buildings are becoming increasingly important. In the meantime, nature-inspired approaches have emerged as a new strategy to achieve thermal comfort in the interiors. However, the use of these approaches in architecture and buildings requires a proper understanding regarding the features of ecosystems. Although acquiring this...
full text[Validity of a single-factor model underlying the metabolic syndrome in young adults: confirmatory factor analysis].
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To determine by confirmatory factor analysis whether a model of the metabolic syndrome including waist circumference-to-height ratio, as a measure of adiposity, has better goodness of fit than that based on waist circumference alone and, on the basis of the data of the best-fit model, to develop an index of global cardiometabolic risk in young adults. METHODS Cross...
full textOn 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...
full textPrincipal 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 ...
full textStructure validity of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in renal transplant recipients: A confirmatory factor analysis
The primary aim of this study was to fit and test the hypothesized three-factor model of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) reported by Cole (2006) in renal transplant (RTx) recipients. We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study using a convenience sample of home-dwelling RTx recipients, transplanted 6 months to 5 years prior to initiation of the study. Of the 135 RTx patients meet...
