Development and Validation of a Survey Instrument to Measure Children's Advertising Literacy (2016, methodology): “If the model depicted in Figure 1 has a good fit to the data, the number of items per component may be reduced (Noar, 2003).”
A Multidimensional Measurement of Work-Leisure Conflict (2012, methodology): “Analysis of Model Comparison Rather than simply confirming a model through a single test, confirmatory factor analysis was used to test a variety of conceptualizations of the second sample data, allowing the scale developer to compare differing models, ultimately retaining the model of best fit (Noa”
Negative Word-of-Mouth Communication Intention: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior (2006, background): “Noar (2003) stated that CFA can give further confirmation that the psychometrics of a scale is strong.”
Development of the Serious Leisure Inventory and Measure (2008, methodology): “According to Noar (2003), it is essential to confirm the structure of a scale in a new set of individuals. Cross validation may reveal the appropriate uses of a scale, generate alternative versions of a scale, and possibly advance theory in a specific area. In order to cross validate the instrument,”
Coping with stress across the lifespan: Absolute vs. relative changes in strategy (2007, methodology): “, 2003) and statisticians (Noar, 2003) that Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is appropriate to this end.”
The Need for Orientation Towards News Media: Revising and Validating a Classic Concept (2005, background): “When the relevance is high, the degree of perceived uncertainty determines the actual level of NFO: In case that uncertainty is low— given high relevance—people have the impression that they basically understand the issue which results in a moderate NFO.”
A Modified Involvement Scale (2007, background): “Noar (2003) indicated that the null model ‘is not a serious model, but rather serves as a baseline model from which comparisons to other models are made’ (p.”
Assessing Tolerance for Wildlife: Clarifying Relations Between Concepts and Measures (2015, background): “Items are expected to be highly correlated, although they often are not (Noar, 2003).”
Learning to live with black bears: A psychological model of acceptance (2012, methodology): “The general assumptions of SEM (i.e., variables measured on a continuous scale, and normality of item response distributions) were both met with this data (skewness ranged from 1.253 to 1.142 and kurtosis from 1.105 to 1.330) signifying no major departure from normality (Noar 2003, Byrne 2009).”
How to Measure Generalized Trust in News Media? An Adaptation and Test of Scales (2019, background): “As trust in news media and similar constructs are latent, not directly observable variables, measures often employ multiple items that serve as indicators for the latent construct (Noar, 2003).”
Reliability, Validity, and Psychometric Development of the Hypersexual Behavior Inventory in an Outpatient Sample of Men (2011, methodology): “To address potential scale construction limitations noted in other research, items were constructed using established guidelines from experts in test construction (Anastasi, 1988; Comrey, 1988; DeVellis, 1991; Jackson, 1971; Noar, 2003).”
Assessing Resilience Across Cultures Using Mixed Methods: Construction of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (2011, methodology): “A second analysis was then used to reduce the number of items to those that best represented the focal construct (resilience) across all 14 sites (DeVellis, 2003; Noar, 2003).”
