Numerous procedures have been suggested for investigating behaviors across situations for consistency versus situational specificity. It is proposed here that Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) may provide an useful addition to these procedures. To illustrate the process, a CFA model based on simulated data is presented and tested. The results of this simulation are employed to make recommendations for conducting CFA to test for cross-situational consistency.

Simultaneous factor analysis of interview data from 1,641 respondents confirms a structural model for the expression of affectivity which appears to generalize across ages of both children and adolescents and across normal and psychopathological populations. The four-dimensional solution obtained here suggests that factors associated with deviations in feeling, relating, thinking, and impetuosity may represent stable attributes measurable from the Structured Pediatric Psychosocial Interview.

The factor analytic model of the practitioner-oriented Opinions About People (OAP) was tested with a population of gerontological practitioners (N = 558). A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to ascertain the degree-of-fit between these data and the published OAP factor model. After results supported the hypothesis that the two samples differed, a second factor analysis was designed to yield estimates of communalities by a least squares multiple regression technique. This analysis eliminated nine items not warranting inclusion in the instrument, redistributed the factors, and brought out a completely new factor. Finally, to test the hypothesis that attitudes toward aging and the aged are uncorrected, a third analysis was performed in which the six scales of the oblique solution were refactored. The resulting higher order dimensions tended to support this hypothesis.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengembangkan model penilaian kom-prehensif berbasis proyek pendidikan kewirausahaan terintegrasi di SMK. Pengembangan model penilaian ini menggunakan Four-D model meliputi ta-hap define, design, develop, dan disseminate. Rancangan model dalam penelitian ini belum sampai pada tahap disseminate, sehingga hanya meliputi tiga tahap-an yaitu tahap define, design, dan develop.Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas XI program studi penjualan, guru  ekonomi, dan guru kewirausahaan. Tek-nik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah angket, observasi, dokumen-tasi, dan tes. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah teknik analisis dis-kriptif,dan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Hasil penelitian adalah seba-gai berikut: 1) dilihat dari hasil analisis penilaian pakar menunjukan bahwa model penilaian secara umum termasuk dalam kategori baik dan dapat digunakan; 2) dilihat dari hasil analisis CFA, menunjukkan adanya  konsis-tensi, hal ini terbukti dari hasil pengujian model pada uji coba terbatas dan skala luas sama-sama menghasilkan model fit pada taraf signifikansi 5%.

This developed assessment model employed the Four-D model, consisting of define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. The model in this study did not take the disseminate stage; it only took three stages, namely the define, design, and develop stages.The research subjects comprised Year XI students of the Sales Study Program, economics teachers, and entrepreneurship teachers.The data were collected through questionnaires, observations, documents, and tests. The data were analyzed using the descriptive analysis technique, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The research findings are as follows 1) based on the results of the analysis of the evaluation by experts, the assessment model in general is in the good category and is applicable; 2) based on the results of the analysis using CFA, there is a consistency, indicated by the model testing in the small-scale and large-scale tryouts revealing that the model fits the empirical data; besides, all constructs designed to measure variables are significant at alpha 5%.Keywords: model, assessment, comprehensive, project, entrepreneurship education

Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale is a widely used measure of global self-esteem; however, the unidimensional nature of the scale has been questioned. A unidimensional confirmatory factor analytic model was tested and found consistent to the data.
