• Community organizations and sense of community: further development in theory and measurement (2008, methodology): “Principal components analyses were customary at the time in SOC studies, but researchers have increasingly adopted the more rigorous analytic technique of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; e.g., Long & Perkins, 2003; Obst & White, 2004; Proescholdbell, Roosa & Nemeroff, 2006; Tartaglia, 2006).”
• Sense of Community and Being a Volunteer Among the Young-Old (2006, methodology): “Third, we treated SOC as a unidimensional construct, whereas other investigators have assessed SOC as a multidimensional construct (Obst & White, 2004).”
• Choosing to belong: The influence of choice on social identification and psychological sense of community (2007, methodology): “However, in the current study a modified version of the scale was used, which has been shown to provide an adequate measure of the four dimensions of PSOC, as well as overall PSOC (Obst & White, 2004a).”
