Construct validity with a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) method is often used by researchers to identify the structure of psychological measurement. Although this CFA method has provided a complete evaluation of the structure of the test, sometimes there is no consensus reached regarding the number of factors. With the CFA method, researchers determined and compared several models to choose the adequate scale structure, including the number of factors in a scale. The network analysis can play a role to help researchers. In this network analysis, the results of the analysis presented in a visual form, which can facilitate the researchers quickly identify the scale structure based on the relations, displayed in the form of lines (thick-thin) and colors (green-red). Current research aims to test the reliability and construct validity; also, shows that network analysis can be an alternative in presenting visualizations and interpretations compare with factor analysis methods, especially CFA. We used The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) with 954 participants aged 16-57 years. The results are either, with the CFA analysis method or network analysis; it is evident that ERQ has two factors, namely suppression and reappraisal. The results show that the network analysis method can be used as an alternative in identifying the structure of the psychological scale.

Experience has different impacts for each individual. Individuals have several choices in the emotions one feels by regulating emotions. Emotion and emotional regulation take shape in a social context. This makes researchers interested in seeing messages, emotions in a social context. This formation is by looking at the results of the test results of the construct validity of the Indonesian version of the Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ) measuring instrument which has the same construct as the IERQ measuring instrument from Hofmann, Carpenter and Curtis (2016). It is hoped that this can contribute to measuring emotions that come from the social context in Indonesian. This research was conducted in May 2020 on 202 participants with adolescents aged 12-21 years. The factor analysis method used in this study is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using the Lisrel program. The results of data analysis show that the construct validity of the IERQ measuring instrument which has been entered into Indonesian shows a positive and significant loading factor. This shows the Indonesian version of the IERQ construct with the same construct as the IERQ measuring instrument from Hofmann, Carpenter and Curtis. The results showed that the Indonesian version of the IERQ measuring instrument can be used by researchers to measure emotional regulation in adolescents in Indonesia. The next research can look in more detail and in-depth about the causes of people to do emotional regulation, and can try out the Indonesian version of the IERQ measurement tool on different participants. Pengalaman emosional merupakan suatu pengalaman yang pasti akan dialami oleh semua individu. Pengalaman emosional memberikan dampak yang berbeda-beda untuk setiap individunya. Individu memiliki beberapa pilihan dalam memodifikasi emosi yang dirasakan salah satunya dengan meregulasi emosi. Emosi dan regulasi emosi terbentuk dalam konteks sosial. Hal tersebut membuat peneliti tertarik untuk mengetahui pembentukan regulasi emosi dalam konteks sosial. Pembentukan tersebut dengan melihat hasil uji validitas konstruk alat ukur Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (IERQ) versi Indonesia memiliki konstruk yang sama dengan alat ukur IERQ dari Hofmann, Carpenter dan Curtis (2016). Hal tersebut diharapkan dapat memberikan sumbangan alat ukur regulasi emosi yang berasal dari konteks sosial dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Mei 2020 terhadap 202 partisipan dengan karakteristik remaja berusia 12-21 tahun. Metode analisis faktor yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan menggunakan program Lisrel. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan validitas konstruk pada alat ukur IERQ yang sudah diterjemahkan kedalam Bahasa Indonesia menunjukan loading factor positif dan signifikan. Hal ini menunjukkan konstruk IERQ versi Bahasa Indonesia memiliki konstruk yang sama dengan alat ukur IERQ dari Hofmann, Carpenter dan Curtis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa alat ukur IERQ versi Bahasa Indonesia dapat dipergunakan oleh para peneliti untuk mengukur regulasi emosi pada remaja di Indonesia. Penelitian berikutnya dapat mengamati lebih mendetail dan mendalam mengenai penyebab orang-orang melakukan regulasi emosi, serta dapat mengujicobakan alat ukur IERQ versi Indonesia pada partisipan yang berbeda.

Given the current debate over the distinction between subtle and blatant prejudice, this study provides new evidence regarding problems with the construct validity of the Pettigrew and Meertens’ Blatant and Subtle Prejudice Scale. To assess these issues, an existing data sample of 896 Chilean participants collected in 2010 was reanalyzed. The main analysis method used was a confirmatory factor analysis. The model that best represented the original theory (a model of two correlated second-order factors) had an improper solution due to the unidentified model. The scale has substantial psychometric problems, and it was not possible to distinguish between subtle and blatant prejudice.

Abstract Introduction The Sleep Inertia Questionnaire (SIQ) was developed and validated in patients with mood disorders to evaluate difficulties with becoming fully awake after nighttime sleep or daytime naps in a multidimensional manner. However, few data are available regarding its psychometric properties in clinical samples with sleep disorders. Methods 211 patients (43.0±16.4 years old, 68% female, 17% minority) evaluated at the Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM) program of Penn State Health Sleep Research & Treatment Center completed the SIQ. All patients were diagnosed using ICSD-3 criteria, with 111 receiving a diagnosis of chronic insomnia disorder (CID), 48 of a central disorder of hypersomnolence (CDH), and 52 of other sleep disorders (OSD). Structural equation modelling was used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the SIQ. Results CFA supported four SIQ dimensions of “physiological”, “cognitive”, “emotional” and “response to” (RSI) sleep inertia with adequate goodness-of-fit (TLI=0.90, CFI=0.91, GFI=0.85, RMSEA=0.08). Internal consistency was high (α=0.94), including that of its dimensions (physiological α=0.89, cognitive α=0.94, emotional α=0.67, RSI α=0.78). Dimension inter-correlations were moderate to high (r=0.42–0.93, p<0.01), indicating good construct validity. Convergent validity showed moderate correlations with Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) scores (r=0.38) and large correlations with Flinders fatigue scale (FFS) scores (r=0.65). Criterion validity showed significantly (p<0.01) higher scores in subjects with CDH (69.0±16.6) as compared to those with CID (54.4±18.3) or OSD (58.5±20.0). A SIQ cut-off score ≥57.5 provided a sensitivity/specificity of 0.77/0.65, while a cut-off score ≥61.5 provided a sensitivity/specificity of 0.71/0.70 to identify CDH vs. ESS<10 (AUC=0.76). Conclusion The SIQ shows satisfactory indices of reliability and construct validity in a clinically-diverse sleep disorders sample. Its criterion validity is supported by its divergent association with hypersomnia vs. insomnia disorders, as well as its adequate sensitivity/specificity to identify patients with CDH. The SIQ can help clinicians easily assess the complex dimensionality of sleep inertia and target behavioral sleep treatments. Future studies should confirm the best SIQ cut-off score by including good sleeping controls, while clinical studies should determine its minimal clinically important difference after pharmacological or behavioral treatments.

The purpose of this study was to examine the construct validity (internal structure) of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) for use with Cantonese, English, and Punjabi speaking Canadians. A confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the sequential/simultaneous theoretical model was supported by the English and Punjabi data: however, the Cantonese data did not exhibit a good fit with this model. Similarly, the results of the exploratory factor analysis suggested that sequential and simultaneous factors could apply when describing the factor structure of the English and Punjabi data, but not for the Cantonese data. Implications of these findings are discussed.

We present the results of approbating the Decision Making Tendency Inventory (Misuraca et al., 2015) in the Russian sample (N=423, Mage= 25,01, SD = 9,63). The development of H. Simon’s satisficing theory in the current studies is considered. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the theoretical three-scale structure of the inventory. We describe the relations between maximizing, minimizing and satisficing scales and personal factors of decision-making, age, and education (its level and difficulty). The study demonstrates that maximizing and satisficing are close tendencies, implemented in case of making important effortful and resource-consuming (e.g., time-consuming) decisions, whereas minimizing is connected to withdrawal from effort and knowledge, avoidant strategies and ambiguity intolerance. The yielded results suggest that satisficing needs to be trained in conditions of high demands for the cognitive sphere such as studying in a higher education institution.

This study aims to adapt the Sanctification of Marriage Questionnaire for Muslims inIndonesia. Adaptation of the Sanctification of Marriage Questionnaire is carried out throughthe stages: translation, providing evidence of construct validity and reliability. Evidence of construct validity was carried out by exploratory factor analysis followed by MGCFA (Multi-Group Confirmatory factor Analysis). In this study, we used a composite reliability. Subjects to reveal the factor structure of sanctification of marriage were 160 married individuals, while the subjects to test the stability of factor structure consisted of 102 husbands and 111 wives. The result of exploratory factor analysis shows that the construct of sanctification of marriage has three factors / dimensions, namely: belief, perceived sacred qualities and manifestation of God. The structure stability of sanctification of marriage was then empirically tested by MGCFA. The results of MGCFA showed that the three factors / dimensions of sanctification of marriage proved stable. The composite reliability coefficient of the Sanctification of Marriage Questionnaire was in a good category. Further research can be carried out to provide evidence of construct validity with predictive validity and concurrent validity of the Sanctification of Marriage Questionnaire. Limitations in this study are discussed further.Keywords: exploratory factor analysis, multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, muslim,sanctification of marriage, scale adaptation

This article aims to measure the application of occupational safety and health using Cooper's Reciprocal Safety Culture Model and Confirmatory Factor Analysis method.  The objective function of this article is to find out the aspects of safety culture that have been implemented by companies. A questionnaire was circulated to staff on the company's production floor as part of this study. The results of the questionnaire recapitulation were then analyzed using the confirmatory factor analysis method. Based on the score calculation results and the category determination build on the questionnaire scores on each dimension of the safety culture applied to the Steel Company, the safety climate value of 55.58 is obtained, which is on a 'quite good' scale. The safety behaviour value of 44, 89 is included on a 'quite good' scale, the safety management system value of 22.04 is on a 'poor' scale, and the safety culture value of 40.83 is on the 'quite good' scale. With these results, it is essential to make improvements to the safety culture in the company, especially in the dimensions of the safety management system, which is on the 'quite good' scale.

AbstractThe following study is aimed at investigating the construct validity of the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC 25) on a Romanian military population. The exploratory factor analysis was conducted on 434 male military participants, aged between 24 and 50 years (M = 34.83, S.D. = 6.14) and the confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on a sample of 679 military participants, of 605 men and 74 women, aged between 18 and 59 years (M = 38.37, S.D. = 9.07). Factor analysis of the scale showed it to be a bidimensional, rather than a multidimensional instrument, as the original five-factor structure was not replicated in this military Romanian sample. Moreover, EFAs suggested that a 14-item bidimensional model should be retained and CFA confirmed that this model fit the data best.

One distinguishing factor of individuals is their lifestyles. In the internet, every individual shows a different behavior while some groups have rather similar behaviors. By identifying these groups and their interests and preferences, it becomes possible to offer a product or advertising which is compatible with their wants. This leads to conveying the value presented by the producer to the consumer with high effectiveness. One source of identifying target customers or internet users is their lifestyle in internet space. The present study aims at describing and explaining internet lifestyle (e-lifestyle) of Iranian users. In particular, this study tries to find out the most common e-lifestyle of Iranian users. To this aim, 412 students involved with internet were surveyed. After estimating the construct validity of the study through confirmatory factor analysis, the mean scores of each e-lifestyle were compared by student t-test. The results revealed that Iranian users have mostly entertainment-driven e-lifestyles. The perceived importance-driven, sociability-driven, interest-driven, novelty-driven, need-driven, and uninterested or concern-driven e-lifestyles were respectively identified after that. This is the first study investigating the most common e-lifestyle among Internet users.
