Factorial Invariance and Latent Mean Stability of Performance Failure Appraisals.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Conroy, David E.; Metzler, Jonathan N.; Hofer, Scott M. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Studied the meaning of Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI; Conroy and others, 2002) by evaluating the comparability of PFAI factor structure over repeated assessments and the stability of the subscales over relatively brief intervals. Results for 356 college students generally show high stability for PFAI scores in long and short forms.…

Structure of Perceptions of Service Quality in Libraries: A LibQUAL+ Study.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thompson, Bruce; Cook, Colleen; Heath, Fred – Structural Equation Modeling, 2003
Used confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate the score integrity of LibQUALl+, an instrument to measure perceptions of library service quality. Results for 60,027 graduate and undergraduate students suggest that the model implied by LibQUAL is reasonable and invariant across independent samples and fits all three major subgroups of library users.…

Hilton, Sterling C.; Schau, Candace; Olsen, Joseph A. – Structural Equation Modeling, 2004
In addition to student learning, positive student attitudes have become an important course outcome for many introductory statistics instructors. To adequately assess changes in mean attitudes across introductory statistics courses, the attitude instruments used should be invariant by administration time. Attitudes toward statistics from 4,910…
