When can categorical variables be treated as continuous? A comparison of robust continuous and categorical SEM estimation methods under suboptimal conditions.
TL;DR: A simulation study compared the performance of robust normal theory maximum likelihood (ML) and robust categorical least squares (cat-LS) methodology for estimating confirmatory factor analysis models with ordinal variables and found cat-LS to be more sensitive to sample size and to violations of the assumption of normality of the underlying continuous variables.

Dimensionality Assessment of Ordered Polytomous Items With Parallel Analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the most appropriate parallel analysis procedure to assess the number of common factors underlying ordered polytomously scored variables, and proposed minimum rank factor analysis (MRFA) as an extraction method, rather than the currently applied principal component analysis (PCA) and principal axes factoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Three-Factor Model of Social Identity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a tripartite model for social identity, which can be represented in terms of three factors: centrality, ingroup affect, and ingroup ties, and examined the efficacy of this model in five studies involving a total of 1078 respondents, one nonstudent sample, and three group memberships.

Factor analysis and scale revision.
TL;DR: This article reviews methodological issues that arise in the application of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to scale revision and refinement.

Assessing Factorial Invariance in Ordered-Categorical Measures
Roger E. Millsap,Jenn Yun-Tein +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive statement of identification conditions for the multiple-population case, with an emphasis on model specification and identification, and the use of the method in the study of factorial invariance is described.

Manual for the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory
TL;DR: The STAI as mentioned in this paper is an indicator of two types of anxiety, the state and trait anxiety, and measure the severity of the overall anxiety level, which is appropriate for those who have at least a sixth grade reading level.

The magical number seven, plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory of information as discussed by the authors provides a yardstick for calibrating our stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of our subjects and provides a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.

The magical number seven plus or minus two: some limits on our capacity for processing information
TL;DR: The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significance tests and goodness of fit in the analysis of covariance structures
TL;DR: In this article, a general null model based on modified independence among variables is proposed to provide an additional reference point for the statistical and scientific evaluation of covariance structure models, and the importance of supplementing statistical evaluation with incremental fit indices associated with the comparison of hierarchical models.
