• YOUTH SENSE OF COMMUNITY: VOICE AND POWER IN COMMUNITY CONTEXTS (2007, background): “…previous attempts at factor analysis have revealed little support for the four dimensions theorized by these authors ~Chipuer & Pretty, 1999; 1986; Long & Perkins, 2003!. Chipuer and Pretty ~1999! report acceptable reliability for the SCI, but they found that the reliability estimates of each of…”
• 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).”
• Revisiting the Sense of Community Index : a confirmatory factor analysis (2004, methodology): “The approach taken in this paper differs from that of authors, such as Long and Perkins (2003), who have developed revised measures reflecting new factor structures.”
• Social Exclusion and the Value of Mobility (2011, unknown): “…scale, from ‘strongly disagree’ to ‘strongly agree’ and, for modelling purposes, responses were treated as reflecting a continuous variable.4 4This is in line with the approach taken to the comprehensive Sense of Community Index by authors such as Long and Perkins (2003) and Obst andWhite (2004).”
• Modern and Old-fashioned Homonegativity Among Samples of Canadian and American University Students (2009, background): “Suggested guidelines for acceptable fit for these indices are: Q < 2; GFI ≥ .90; RMSEA ≤ .08; and CFI ≥ .90 (Hoyle, 2000; Long & Perkins, 2003).”
