The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Specific Interpersonal Trust scale of Johnson-George and Swap in Korean samples as a part of the process of providing an exemplary tool for intercultural studies of trust. A translated version of the original scale was administered to 337 university students (157 males, 180 females) in Seoul, Korea. Data were subjected to a principal components analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis. In principal components analysis for the Korean sample ( n = 167), three factors were identified and labeled: Overall Trust (Cronbach α=.89), Emotional Trust (Cronbach α = .88), and Reliableness (Cronbach α=.84). A confirmatory factor analysis ( n=170) showed that the three-factor model was valid for the sample (χ2/ df= 1.78, RMR=.06, RMSEA = .07, TLI=.92, CFI=.93). Internal consistency reliability and factorial validity were satisfactory in the case of the Korean sample. The Korean version of the Specific Interpersonal Trust Scale made good use of three factors of trust and appeared to be valid without sex differences, while the original scale distinguished the Males subscale from the Females subscale. Implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

Percentile Scores

The literature suggests limitations to Dickman’s dysfunctional impulsivity (DI) scale. These concerns are centered on the measurement properties of this scale and on its reliance on student samples. To address these criticisms, the DI was administered to a random adult sample (n = 649, mean age 43.83 ± 13.46 years), 13% of whom were university educated. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) did not support the fit of the posited 12-item DI scale. The full sample was randomly divided. Principal components analysis was applied to one sample (n = 328), resulting in a 9-item model. This new model was then replicated using CFA in the second sample (n = 321). Cronbach’s α for the 9-item model was 0.84 and item-total correlations were > 0.39. The 30th and 70th percentile scores from the DI distribution of scores were used to categorize participants with low and high DI. The high-DI group was associated with significantly more driving distractions and lane crossings.

Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η διερεύνηση των παραγόντων που επηρεάζουν το ανταγωνιστικό εξαγωγικό πλεονέκτημα και τα κίνητρα διεθνοποίησης των ελληνικών επιχειρήσεων παραγωγής γιαουρτιού. Οι παράγοντες αυτοί που σχετίζονται με το ανταγωνιστικό εξαγωγικό πλεονέκτημα αναφέρονται στους πόρους, τις ικανότητες και τα χαρακτηριστικά των επιχειρήσεων ενώ οι παράγοντες που αναφέρονται στα κίνητρα διεθνοποίησης σχετίζονται με το εξωτερικό περιβάλλον της επιχείρησης, τα εμπόδια των εξαγωγών, το ανταγωνιστικό εξαγωγικό πλεονέκτημα και του πόρους της επιχείρησης Για την διερεύνηση των συγκεκριμένων παραγόντων πραγματοποιήθηκε ποσοτική έρευνα σε 137 ελληνικές επιχειρήσεις παραγωγής γιαουρτιού καταγράφοντας την αντίληψη τους για τα παραπάνω ζητήματα. Η έρευνα στηρίχθηκε σε πρωτογενή δεδομένα που συγκεντρώθηκαν με ηλεκτρονική αποστολή ερωτηματολογίου σε υψηλόβαθμα στελέχη των επιχειρήσεων. Το χρονικό διάστημα διεξαγωγής της έρευνας ήταν από το Απρίλιο έως τον Αύγουστο του 2015. Μετά τη συλλογή των ερωτηματολογίων, πραγματοποιήθηκε ο έλεγχος εγκυρότητας και αξιοπιστίας των ερωτήσεων του ερωτηματολογίου. Εφαρμόστηκε αρχικά η διερευνητική παραγοντική ανάλυση (Factor Analysis-EFA) με τη μέθοδο εξαγωγής των παραγόντων σε κύριες συνιστώσες (Principal Components Analysis-PCA) και μέθοδο περιστροφής των αξόνων τη Varimax Rotation. Στη συνέχεια εφαρμόστηκε η επιβεβαιωτική παραγοντική ανάλυση (Confirmatory Factor Analysis-CFA) μέσω του στατιστικού προγράμματος SPSS Amos 24.0. Η εφαρμογή των συγκεκριμένων μεθόδων έδωσε ικανοποιητικά αποτελέσματα σχετικά με την εγκυρότητα των παραγόντων των ερωτήσεων που περιείχε το ερωτηματολόγιο. Η αλληλεπίδραση των παραγόντων και το αποτέλεσμα που έχουν στο ανταγωνιστικό εξαγωγικό πλεονέκτημα και στα κίνητρα διεθνοποίησης εκτιμήθηκαν με την εφαρμογή της μεθόδου ανάλυσης διαδρομών (Path Analysis). Τα αποτελέσματα της διατριβής και το υπόδειγμα διαδρομών του εξαγωγικού πλεονεκτήματος καταδεικνύουν ότι οι πόροι και ικανότητες τις επιχείρησης είναι σημαντικοί παράγοντες που οδηγούν τις ελληνικές επιχειρήσεις σε εξαγωγικό ανταγωνιστικό πλεονέκτημα σε αντίθεση με τα χαρακτηριστικά της επιχείρησης στα οποία δεν εντοπίστηκε κάποια σημαντική επιρροή. Επίσης, τα αποτελέσματα του υποδείγματος διαδρομών που αφορούσε τα κίνητρα διεθνοποίησης των ελληνικών επιχειρήσεων παραγωγής γιαουρτιού καταδεικνύουν το εξωτερικό περιβάλλον, τα εμπόδια εξαγωγών, ανταγωνιστικό εξαγωγικό πλεονέκτημα και τους πόρους της επιχείρησης από τους σημαντικότερους παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν τα κίνητρα των ελληνικών επιχειρήσεων σε εξαγωγική δράση.

To add evidence of the validity of the Children's Behavioral Classification Inventory, the responses of parents and teachers were compared on a set of 110 items of the inventory which describe behaviors equally observable to both groups. The two sets of data were subjected in Phase I to principal components analysis to extract two factors in each case which were compared by means of the Ahmavaara transformation and found to be highly comparable. In Phase II, predictions were made from factor weights of 36 items measuring six factors in the original standardization of the inventory to both sets of respondents' data by means of confirmatory factor analysis. The formal indices of comparability were not generally in acceptable ranges; however, substantively the six factors were definitely replicated in the two samples.

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of a Chinese version of the 24-item Social Environment Questionnaire (SEQ-C). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the factor validity and measurement invariance (Purpose 1) of the SEQ-C in 453 older adults in Hong Kong. Convergent validity (Purpose 2) and test–retest reliability (Purpose 3) were also measured. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis and measurement invariance supported the four-factor structure (representing companionship, encouragement, neighborhood social cohesion, and role models) of the SEQ-C, in a 15-item model that closely fitted the data. The SEQ-C was also found to have acceptable to satisfactory internal consistency, test–retest reliability, composite reliability, and moderate convergent validity in correlating perceived social support. This study showed that the SEQ-C is a suitable means of measuring the social environments of older adults in Hong Kong.

Background and Purpose: The psychometric properties of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) have been examined primarily in community-dwelling patients with heart failure (HF). The objective of this research was to examine the properties of the KCCQ administered to patients hospitalized with HF (N = 233). Methods: Confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alphas, and correlations were performed to examine the scale’s dimensions, reliability, and validity. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a 5-factor solution (63.6% of the variance). The Cronbach’s alpha levels were greater than .70, except for the self-efficacy dimension (.60). Convergent validity was not verified between the KCCQ and several illness severity measures. Conclusions: The psychometric properties of the KCCQ may be different based on the population in which the KCCQ is administered, which may have clinical implications.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of a brief version of the AF5 questionnaire (García & Musitu, 2001) using exploratory and confirmatory techniques on a preadolescent population in the Valencian community (Spain). The sample was made up of 541 participants between 10 and 12 years old, 55.1% (298) boys and 44.9% (243) girls. After observing the results of different reliability and validity analyses (exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)), it was found that the reduced scale consisting of 20 items showed a similar reliability and validity to the original scale. The factorial structure also fits that of the original model established a priori. According to the results of the study, the use of this diagnostic tool with Spanish children seems justified.
