Schweizer, Karl; Gold, Andreas; Krampen, Dorothea – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2023
In modeling missing data, the missing data latent variable of the confirmatory factor model accounts for systematic variation associated with missing data so that replacement of what is missing is not required. This study aimed at extending the modeling missing data approach to tetrachoric correlations as input and at exploring the consequences of…

Karl Schweizer; Andreas Gold; Dorothea Krampen; Stefan Troche – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Conceptualizing two-variable disturbances preventing good model fit in confirmatory factor analysis as item-level method effects instead of correlated residuals avoids violating the principle that residual variation is unique for each item. The possibility of representing such a disturbance by a method factor of a bifactor measurement model was…

Pere J. Ferrando; Ana Hernández-Dorado; Urbano Lorenzo-Seva – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
A frequent criticism of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is that it does not allow correlated residuals to be modelled, while they can be routinely specified in the confirmatory (CFA) model. In this article, we propose an EFA approach in which both the common factor solution and the residual matrix are unrestricted (i.e., the correlated residuals…

David Goretzko; Karik Siemund; Philipp Sterner – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) are often used in psychological research when developing measurement models for psychological constructs. Evaluating CFA model fit can be quite challenging, as tests for exact model fit may focus on negligible deviances, while fit indices cannot be interpreted absolutely without specifying thresholds or cutoffs.…

Stephanie M. Bell; R. Philip Chalmers; David B. Flora – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Coefficient omega indices are model-based composite reliability estimates that have become increasingly popular. A coefficient omega index estimates how reliably an observed composite score measures a target construct as represented by a factor in a factor-analysis model; as such, the accuracy of omega estimates is likely to depend on correct…

Christopher E. Shank – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation compares the performance of equivalence test (EQT) and null hypothesis test (NHT) procedures for identifying invariant and noninvariant factor loadings under a range of experimental manipulations. EQT is the statistically appropriate approach when the research goal is to find evidence of group similarity rather than group…

Reeves, Todd D.; Onder, Yasemin; Kraner, Chris – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2023
As beliefs are well-known antecedents of teachers' practices, including assessment practices, sound measurement of teacher beliefs is critical for scholarly research as well as practical purposes. The present study examined the validity of inferences derived from the Conceptions of Assessment III--Abridged (COA-IIIA) instrument with US PK-12…

Lee, Bitna; Sohn, Wonsook – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2022
A Monte Carlo study was conducted to compare the performance of a level-specific (LS) fit evaluation with that of a simultaneous (SI) fit evaluation in multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (MCFA) models. We extended previous studies by examining their performance under MCFA models with different factor structures across levels. In addition,…

Pavlik, Philip I., Jr.; Eglington, Luke G.; Zhang, Liang – Grantee Submission, 2021
We describe a data mining pipeline to convert data from educational systems into knowledge component (KC) models. In contrast to other approaches, our approach employs and compares multiple model search methodologies (e.g., sparse factor analysis, covariance clustering) within a single pipeline. In this preliminary work, we describe our approach's…

Pere J. Ferrando; Fabia Morales-Vives; Ana Hernández-Dorado – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
In recent years, some models for binary and graded format responses have been proposed to assess unipolar variables or "quasi-traits." These studies have mainly focused on clinical variables that have traditionally been treated as bipolar traits. In the present study, we have made a proposal for unipolar traits measured with continuous…

Shi, Dexin; Lee, Taehun; Fairchild, Amanda J.; Maydeu-Olivares, Alberto – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
This study compares two missing data procedures in the context of ordinal factor analysis models: pairwise deletion (PD; the default setting in Mplus) and multiple imputation (MI). We examine which procedure demonstrates parameter estimates and model fit indices closer to those of complete data. The performance of PD and MI are compared under a…

Mahdi Rouhiathar – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2023
Despite the numerous endeavours made to develop questionnaires to assess learners' strategic behaviour in general and learning/use strategies across different language areas and skills, one can surprisingly find no inventories to address learners' grammar learning /use strategies. This study aims to validate a measure of additional language…

Gao, Ruiqin – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This multiple-manuscript dissertation explored the measurement invariance (MI) testing with multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) approach from different perspectives. Study 1 explored MI from a theoretical perspective by conducting a systematic review study on MI practices in education. The findings of this study indicated…

Fye, Heather J.; Memis, Riza; Soyturl, Ilker; Myer, Rebecca; Karpinski, Aryn C.; Rainey, J. Steve – Journal of School Counseling, 2020
The three-factor model structure of the School Counseling Program Implementation Survey was tested with a national sample (N=275) of school counselors. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) suggested a modified two-factor model was the most appropriate fit. Implications and future research for the school counseling profession are discussed.

Juan, Liu Xin; Tao, Wu Yun; Veloo, Palanisamy K.; Supramaniam, Mahadevan – SAGE Open, 2022
Dishonest academic behavior (DAB) by students in Chinese higher education institutions has become a significant concern. However, the related study of academic dishonesty in mainland China is very limited. This study fills this gap by examining the theory of planned behavior and its three extended versions, validating the effectiveness of…
