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.

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.

Summary: A scale for indecisiveness was constructed and then used to investigate distinctive features of indecisiveness. In the literature on decision making, the distinction between indecision and indecisiveness is an important issue, but evidence showing that these two constructs are different is lacking. We found clear evidence for such a distinction, from a joint exploratory factor analysis of the indecisiveness scale and a career indecision scale, and from the differential relation of both with self-esteem as a third variable. Furthermore, with confirmatory factor analysis, we found that the correlations between items on career indecision cannot be explained only by indecisiveness, and that also a factor specific to the situation of career decision is needed. These results corroborate the distinction between career indecision and indecisiveness. Although it must be differentiated from specific types of indecision, such as career indecision, indecisiveness turned out to be a correlate of the specific indecisions - one that can explain the intercorrelations between different kinds of more specific indecision.

Psychological well-being adalah keadaan dimana individu mampu menerima keadaan dirinya secara positif, baik keadaan yang sedang dijalaninya saat ini maupun pengalaman hidupnya termasuk pengalaman yang dianggapnya tidak menyenangkan dan menerima semua itu sebagai bagian dari dirinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk untuk melihat apakah self esteem, optimisme dan social support secara bersama-sama mempengaruhi psychological well-being guru honorer SDN Kabupaten Serang. Populasi penelitian ini adalah 221 guru honorer SDN Kabupaten Serang. Sampel dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 210 guru honorer. Pengambilan sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan tekhnik purposive sampling. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan kuantitatif. Validitas alat ukur dalam penelitian ini diuji dengan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Analisis data menggunakan multiple regression analysis (regresi berganda). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa self esteem, optimisme dan social support secara bersama-sama mempengaruhi psychological well-being. Variabel self esteem dan optimisme berpengaruh signifikan terhadap psychological well-being. Sedangkan variabel dukungan emosional, dukungan penghargaan, dukungan instrumental, dukungan informasi, dukungan kelompok, tidak terbukti secara statistik berpengaruh terhadap psychological well-being. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan untuk memilih populasi  di suatu tempat atau beberapa area saja agar lebih terarah.

AbstractEmpathy has been identified as a relevant variable in order to predict burnout in healthcare professionals. In addition, assertiveness and self-esteem have been considered relevant variables to develop empathic capacity. In the other hand, misconceptions surrounding empathy constitute a risk factor for burnout. Two adult samples (N = 252 and N = 275) were used to explore and confirm the underlying structure of two questionnaires. The Exercise of Process of Empathy (EPE) scale (18 items) confirmatory factor analysis including 5 dimensions (cognitive and emotional comprehension, attention, clarity and assertiveness), showed reasonable goodness- of-fit indices χ2(130) = 269.63, p < .001; RMSEA = .069 90% CI [0.058 – 0.079]; CFI = .965; TLI = .959. Alpha coefficient resulted .848. Common Misconceptions (EH) of empathy scale (16 items) confirmatory factor analysis, including 3 dimensions (feeling, confluence and character misconceptions) also obtained reasonable goodness-of-fit indices χ2(101) = 250.59, p < .001; RMSEA = .075 90% CI [0.063 – 0.087]; CFI = .952; TLI = .943. Alpha coefficient for Character resulted .727 (5 items), for Confluence .764 (5 items) and for Feeling .822 (6 items). The SEM model’s R2 resulted .303, being EH (misconceptions) a risk factor (b* = .171), EPE (empathy process) a protection factor (b* = –.183). The model partially explains how misconceptions empathy process and self-esteem (b* = –.334) relate to burnout syndrome in healthcare professionals; what is more, it heralds a potential means to prevent it.

Sociometric scores were obtained for 1,437 male and 1,505 female students in eight high schools throughout the U. S. Four scores were obtained for each student: attractiveness to members of the same sex, attractiveness to members of the opposite sex, rejection by members of the same sex, and rejection by members of the opposite sex. Correlations among these scores and factor analysis showed that popularity scores were independent of rejection scores. The implications of these results for factor analytic model construction were discussed.

Recent research into schizotypal traits has been concerned with the number and nature of these personality dimensions. Earlier exploratory factor analytic work using a wide variety of scales (the CSTQ) has generated a four‐factor solution but other solutions have been provided by other investigators. This study uses confirmatory factor analysis on a large sample to compare several plausible models of the relationships between scales. These models include a two‐factor model separating ‘positive’ from ‘negative’ schizotypal features, a three‐factor model including features of cognitive disorganization, and the four‐factor model generated previously by exploratory factor analysis. Results offer support for the four‐factor solution as the only structure meeting multiple criteria for goodness of fit. The relevance of Eysenck's dimensions, and the P scale in particular, to the results is discussed. Attention is drawn to the possibility that the factors describe predispositions of risk of psychotic disorders beyond that of schizophrenia.

Confirmatory Factor

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.
