Transformational Leadership in the Classroom: Fostering Student Learning, Student Participation, and Teacher Credibility (2009, methodology): “Confirmatory factor analyses were performed on all scales for validity purposes (Levine, 2005; Levine, Hullett, Turner, & Lapinski, 2006).”
The Development and Validation of the Student Communication Satisfaction Scale (2009, methodology): “Confirmatory factor analysis provides stronger evidence for the dimensionality of a measure than exploratory factor analysis because of model fit and should be performed when using multiple-item linear scales (Levine, 2005).”
College Teacher Misbehaviors: Direct and Indirect Effects on Student Communication Behavior and Traditional Learning Outcomes (2009, methodology): “Confirmatory factor analyses were performed on all scales for validity purposes (Levine, 2005; Levine, Hullett, Turner, & Lapinski, 2006).”
How to factor-analyze your data right: do’s, don’ts, and how-to’s. (2010, methodology): “…of estimators proposed and utilized in the literature, the vast majority of the published CFA studies employ ML and research suggests that it produces accurate results in most situations (Fan et al., 1999; Levine, 2005; Thompson, 2004; see Kline, 2005, for a review of various estimation methods).”
Alignment between business environment characteristics, competitive priorities, supply chain structures, and firm business performance (2009, background): “Unidimensionality is a prerequisite to meaningfully interpret reliability ( Levine, 2005”
Message fatigue: Conceptual definition, operationalization, and correlates (2017, methodology): “confirmatory factor analysis, as opposed to an exploratory one, must be performed to examine the factor structure (Brown, 2015; Levine, 2005).”
Friendship standards: The dimensions of ideal expectations (2012, methodology): “If invariance is established in all three cases, then the six-factor model represents a good measure of friendship expectations for both university and community samples, males and females, and young adult and older adult participants (Cheung & Rensvold, 2002; Levine, 2005).”
Learner Empowerment and Teacher Evaluations as Functions of Teacher Power Use in the College Classroom (2008, methodology): “To further establish the validity of the TPUS based on the recommendations of Levine (2005), we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the TPUS using maximum likelihood (ML) estimation procedures in LISREL 8.80.”
The Reactance Restoration Scale (RRS): A Measure of Direct and Indirect Restoration (2007, methodology): “In measuring the association between items, we employed a confirmatory factor analysis (Levine, 2005).”
How to Measure Generalized Trust in News Media? An Adaptation and Test of Scales (2019, background): “To investigate these questions, researchers are first and foremost dependent on reliable and valid measures of trust in news media, as the results of our studies vitally depend on proper measurement (Levine, 2005).”
