Confirmatory Factor Analysis of House Office Candidate Appraisals.

Friedman, Charles P.; And Others

Evaluation and the Health Professions, v10 n1 p106-19 Mar 1987

An application of confirmatory factor analysis, using the LISREL program, to retrospective analysis of rating data common in health professions education was illustrated. A causal model was specified and tested. Although most measures clustered around latent traits, there was more method variance in the data set than trait variance. (Author/JAZ)
