Perry, John L.; Nicholls, Adam R.; Clough, Peter J.; Crust, Lee – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
Despite the limitations of overgeneralizing cutoff values for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; e.g., Marsh, Hau, & Wen, 2004), they are still often employed as golden rules for assessing factorial validity in sport and exercise psychology. The purpose of this study was to investigate the appropriateness of using the CFA approach with these…

Stone, Gregory Ethan; Koskey, Kristin L. K.; Sondergeld, Toni A. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2011
Typical validation studies on standard setting models, most notably the Angoff and modified Angoff models, have ignored construct development, a critical aspect associated with all conceptualizations of measurement processes. Stone compared the Angoff and objective standard setting (OSS) models and found that Angoff failed to define a legitimate…
