We note that in cases where the model errors are not explicitly taken into account for the estimation of endogenous latent variables, a new approach proposed by Vittadini et al. (2007) would need to be used to appropriately determine the PLS model estimates. This is because in PLS the reflective scheme assumed for the endogenous latent variables is inverted (i.e., the model errors are not taken...

The study examined a simplified conceptual model which incorporates variables that influence the processes and consequences of household decision-making in the Ada and Selale districts of the Ethiopian highlands. Linear structural relations (LISREL) analysis was performed on three conceptual models. The results of LISREL analysis indicate that the magnitude of contribution of factors to product...

This research elaborated and empirically tested the individual action component of the collective action model as applied to individual contributions to organizational information commons. The model extended prior theory and research by making six elaborations on the classic collective action model based on unique characteristics of information goods compared to material collective goods. The s...

This paper focuses on factors related to consumer complaint behavior tendency in Internet. Current literatures from home and abroad focus on how to improve consumer’s satisfaction and loyalty, while there are still relatively few researches on consumer dissatisfaction and complaint behavior. Based on the analysis of consumer complaint behavior tendency in Internet, this paper discusses the fact...

OBJECTIVE To address a theoretical debate regarding contributions of self-efficacy and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in explaining the amount of variance in stage of readiness to exercise among blue-collar workers. METHOD A validated questionnaire was used for assessment. RESULTS LISREL indicated that self-efficacy had the most influence on stage and TPB constructs were subjugated to...

Through a LISREL analysis, this study validated the Constructivist Internet-based Learning Environment Survey (CILES). CILES consisted of six scales, sorted by two aspects. The first aspect, the cognitive– metacognitive aspect, included the scales of student negotiation, inquiry learning, and reflective thinking, whereas the second aspect, the content-technical aspect, involved the scales of Re...

To construct CFA, MCFA, and maximum MCFA with LISREL v.8 and below, we provide iMCFA (integrated Multilevel Confirmatory Analysis) to examine the potential multilevel factorial structure in the complex survey data. Modeling multilevel structure for complex survey data is complicated because building a multilevel model is not an infallible statistical strategy unless the hypothesized model is cl...

This paper discusses how a seldom-used statistical procedure, recursive regression (RR), can numerically and graphically illustrate data-driven nonlinear relationships and interaction of variables. This routine falls into the family of exploratory techniques, yet a few interesting features make it a valuable compliment to factor analysis and multiple linear regression for method triangulation. ...

This note describes latent variable modeling with categorical outcomes in several groups and for longitudinal data. Different parameterizations are discussed as well as issues of identification. A comparison is made between formulating the modeling in terms of conditional probabilities versus using a latent response variable formulation. Two parameterizations used in Mplus are described, includ...
