OBJECTIVE The present study tested the proposed five-factor structure and invariance of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) in a sample of physically active breast cancer survivors. METHODS A sample of breast cancer survivors (N=470, Mage=57.3, SD=7.8 years) completed the PTGI and a demographic questionnaire. The factor structure, factorial invariance, and late...

Models of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) are frequently applied to examine the convergent validity of scores obtained from multiple raters or methods in so-called multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) investigations. Many applications of CFA-MTMM and similarly structured models result in solutions in which at least one method (or specific) factor shows non-significant loading or variance estimates....

The non-autotransferring plasmid NTP113 codes for production of colonization factor antigen I and heat-stable enterotoxin, NTP113, which has a molecular weight of 58 X 10(6), was digested with BamHI, EcoRI, and HindIII and combinations of these restriction endonucleases, and the products of these digestions were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results were used to construct a parti...
