The Stability

The factor structure of Rosenberg's Stability of Self Scale (1965) was investigated via principal components factor analysis. Data from 92 male and 171 female undergraduates yielded a one-factor solution, supporting Rosenberg's contention that the scale is unidimensional.

Two Factors

The dimensions of Rosenburg's scale of self-esteem (1965) were investigated via principal components and oblique factor analysis. Data from 479 students in a basic speech course yielded a two-factor solution. As the two factors appeared to identify only a response set, it was concluded the scale was unidimensional.

Components Analysis

Factor analysis was performed on the Beck Depression Inventory with a university sample to examine its potential multidimensionality. A principal components analysis with an oblimin and varimax rotation produced a two-factor solution. These factors were labeled Cognitive–Affective and Physiological and accounted for approximately 39% of the common variance. This finding is consistent with multidimensionality of the inventory and with a similar study of college students. The commonalities of the two studies suggest the reliability (internal consistency) of the Cognitive-Affective and Physiological constructs among “minimally” depressed university samples.

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

The aim of the present investigation was to explore the factor structure of the WISC-R for a sample of children identified as learning disabled. The sample of 140 children were between the ages of 6–2 and 14–8 ( M = 9–7); 96 were males and 44 females. A principal factor analysis yielded a factor solution similar to that reported for the WISC-R standardization sample. Support for the robustness of the Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Organization, and Freedom from Distractibility factors for this population of learning disabled children resulted.

The Impact

Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine a factor structure for the Impact of Miscarriage Scale (IMS). The 24 items comprising the IMS were originally derived from a phenomenological study of miscarriage in women. Initial psychometric properties were established based on a sample of 188 women (Swanson, 1999a). Method: Data from 341 couples were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Results: CFA did not confirm the original structure. EFA explained 57% of the variance through an 18-item, 4-factor structure: isolation and guilt, loss of baby, devastating event, and adjustment. Except for the Adjustment subscale, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were ≥.78. Conclusion: Although a 3-factor solution is most defensible, with further refinement and additional items, the 4th factor (adjustment) may warrant retention.

Environment Index

Principal components factor analysis of responses of 442 students in Grades 6 and 7 yielded no clear evidence for a “home environment index” on the My Education scale, a 50-item multiple-choice questionnaire. To be a useful measure of motivation this scale needs further psychometric development.

The Present Study Examined The Factor Structure, reliability, and validity of the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R; Wong, Reker, & Gesser, 1994) using a sample of 403 hospital and hospice nurses. A principal-components factor analysis of the DAP-R indicated that the DAP-R may consist of six factors instead of the five originally reported by Wong et al. The first four factors reported by Wong et al., which correspond to the subscales that they labeled Fear of Death, Death Avoidance, Approach Acceptance, and Escape Acceptance, were replicated in the present study, and these subscales were found to have acceptable levels of internal consistency and to possess some degree of concurrent validity. However, the items which loaded on the fifth factor in Wong et al.‘s study (their “Neutral Acceptance” subscale) were split across two factors in the present study, suggesting that this subscale may not be measuring a unitary construct.

Components Analysis

The present study was designed to determine the number and nature of factors involved in Rotter's I-E Scale and to examine the question of the multidimensionality of the scale. Subjects were 329 college undergraduates. Principal components analysis was performed on the 23 pertinent items of the scale, followed by Varimax rotation. Multiple criteria indicated a 10-factor solution which accounted for 61% of the total variance. The first two factors were strongly similar to those reported previously. Results support Rotter's (1975) contention that subclasses within the scale will vary from sample to sample.
