Grateful to God or just plain grateful? A comparison of religious and general gratitude (2011, methodology): “Further, both a factor analysis (principal components) and a parallel analysis (O’Connor, 2000) suggested that all six items load on a single factor, accounting for 72.”
Development of A Promis Item Bank to Measure Pain Interference (2010, methodology): “In addition, we conducted a parallel analysis of the raw PROMIS data based on principal axis/common factor analysis and on the distribution of the raw data set [37].”
Structural and Mean-Level Analyses of the Five-Factor Model and Locus of Control (2005, methodology): “Both Cattell’s scree test and a parallel analysis (Horn, 1965; O’Connor, 2000) with the 95th percentile as the comparison baseline suggested five factors.”
Why aren’t we taking action? Psychological barriers to climate-positive food choices (2016, methodology): “Hypothesis 2: the psychological barriers form meaningful dimensions To determine whether the 36 barriers form a parsimonious structure, a principal component analysis was performed with parallel analysis and Velicer’s minimum average partial (MAP) test (O’Connor 2000).”
