The Third-Level Digital Divide: Who Benefits Most from Being Online? (2015, methodology): “A Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin 21 Measure of Sampling Adequacy (KMO) of .82 was obtained, which exceeds the target of 0.7 suggested by Pett, Lackey, and Sullivan (2003).”
Development and Initial Validation of the Online Learning Value and Self-Efficacy Scale (2008, background): “Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity ( 2 = 4078.48, df = 378, p < .001) was significant, indicating that the correlation matrix was not an identity matrix, and all measures of sampling adequacy were deemed sufficient (i.e., > .60; Pett et al., 2003).”
Ten Steps in Scale Development and Reporting: A Guide for Researchers (2018, methodology): “Interviews, focus groups, and expert feedback are critical in the item generation and dimension identification process (Broom, 2006; Clark & Watson, 1995; DeVellis, 2012; Pett et al., 2003; Simms, 2008; Worthington & Whittaker, 2006).”
Development and Psychometric Properties of the Math and Me Survey (2011, methodology): “…= 435, p .001), the diagonals of the anti-image correlation matrix (all greater than .80) and the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy (.934), suggested the data were suitable for EFA (Pett et al., 2003) To determine the number of factors to extract, we considered several criteria.”
Development and Validation of the Mathematical Resilience Scale (2016, methodology): “The criteria suggested by Pett et al. (2003) were used to establish acceptable measures of sampling adequacy: a statistically significant result for Bartlett’s test of sphericity, χ2(528, N = 253) = 3,948.41, p < .001, a Kaiser–Mayer–Okin (KMO) statistic of .88, a nonzero determinant of the…”
Assessing the Unidimensionality of Psychological Scales: Using Multiple Criteria from Factor Analysis (2011, background): “Dimensionality refers to the structure of a specific phenomenon (Pett et al. 2003).”
Why do small and medium enterprises use social media marketing and what is the impact: Empirical insights from India (2020, background): “Generally, it is observed that many researchers recommend that sample size of at least 300 is good (Henson & Roberts, 2006; Pett, Lackey, & Sullivan, 2003).”
