Walker, David A.; Smith, Thomas J. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2017
Nonnormality of data presents unique challenges for researchers who wish to carry out structural equation modeling. The subsequent SPSS syntax program computes bootstrap-adjusted fit indices (comparative fit index, Tucker-Lewis index, incremental fit index, and root mean square error of approximation) that adjust for nonnormality, along with the…

Evidence Regarding the Internal Structure: Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lewis, Todd F. – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2017
American Educational Research Association (AERA) standards stipulate that researchers show evidence of the internal structure of instruments. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is one structural equation modeling procedure designed to assess construct validity of assessments that has broad applicability for counselors interested in instrument…

Stereotype Threat Vulnerability: A Psychometric Investigation of the Social Identities and Attitudes Scale
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Smith, Leann V.; Cokley, Kevin – Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 2016
The authors investigated the psychometric properties of the Social Identities and Attitudes Scale developed by Picho and Brown, which captures an individual's vulnerability to Stereotype Threat effects. Confirmatory factor analyses and group invariance tests conducted on a diverse sample of 516 college students revealed adequate reliability and…
