In AI We Trust? Factors That Influence Trustworthiness of AI-infused Decision-Making Processes (2019, methodology): “First, we conducted confirmatory factor analyses [38] to ensure the modified versions of our scales for reliability, technical competence, under-standability, and personal attachment continued to exhibit the high degrees of reliability previously reported.”
Preliminary psychometric validation of a brief screening tool for athlete mental health among male elite athletes: the Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (2019, methodology): “In line with recent guidelines (Carpenter, 2018), oblique rotation (promax) was adopted as it is identified as providing more robust factor solutions (Thompson, 2004), and involves an oblique factor rotation where factors are permitted to correlate.”
Assessing measurement model quality in PLS-SEM using confirmatory composite analysis (2020, background): “Common factor analysis uses only common variance and assumes specific and error variance is unimportant in defining the factors (Brown, 2014; Kline, 2014; Thompson, 2004).”
Role of transformational leadership in effective organizational knowledge creation practices: Mediating effects of employees' work engagement (2012, methodology): “Although all measurements were adapted from previously cited literature and have been validated in several contexts, reassessing basic issues in item reliability and construct validity should be considered when applying the measurements to different sample data sets (DeVellis, 2003; Thompson, 2004).”
Coronavirus Anxiety Scale: A brief mental health screener for COVID-19 related anxiety (2020, methodology): “A succession of factor analytic methods was applied to the anxiety symptoms in order to identify a small and reliable subset of symptoms that best represent the latent construct of coronavirus anxiety (Thompson, 2004).”
Modelos de equações estruturais em psicologia: conceitos e aplicações (2007, background): “…desde o desenvolvimento de modelos de testagem psicológica ao final do século XIX e princípios do século XX (Anastasi & Urbina, 2000; Laros, 2005; Thompson, 2004), até as discussões mais recentes sobre delineamentos de pesquisa experimental e quase-experimental em Psicologia (Shadish, Cook &…”
HR flexibility and firm performance: analysis of a multi-level causal model (2009, methodology): “Next, the hypothesised model was compared with the nested models (Table 3) using the change in chi-square test (Bentler and Bonnet 1980; Thompson 2004).”
The Theory of Planned Behavior as a model for understanding sedentary behavior (2015, positive): “Because EFA is not influenced by a researcher's expectations regarding the nature or number of constructs or factors (Thompson, 2004), it represents a more conservative and unbiased approach.”
Assessing Barriers to the Reform of U.S. Mathematics Instruction From an International Perspective (2005, background): “…eigenvalue for this factor was 1.70) and that all items had factor Desimone et al. loadings exceeding .40 (factor loadings for the four items, in the order shown in the preceding paragraph, were .44, .63, .46, and .42), indicating a high degree of consistency among items (see B. Thompson, 2004).”
Developing a community of inquiry instrument: Testing a measure of the Community of Inquiry framework using a multi-institutional sample (2008, methodology): “Given the relative newness of the cognitive presence subscale, suggestions by Gorsuch (1983) and Thompson (2004) were applied and a more conservative exploratory approach to analysis was utilized.”
Breaking rules for the right reasons? An investigation of pro-social rule breaking (2012, methodology): “Thus, we concluded the EFA process with a three-factor solution.”
