Convergent validity

value is not exceeding the thresholds, we could say that our measurement model has a good fit to the data. The results of standardized factor loadings, reliability, and convergent validity are presented in Table 3. Overall, the seven variables showed good fit. The standardized loadings for all 29 items ranged…

The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), created by Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, and Erbaugh (1961) is one of the most widely used self-report instruments for psychiatric populations that assesses depression through the depth or severity of depressive symptoms. The BDI contains 21 items that are rated on a 4-point scale (0-3) which reflect increasing symptom severity and cover areas of depressive symptomology including affective, cognitive, motivational, and physiological symptoms (Bumberry et al.,…

determine the consistency (convergent validity) of the stable trait and occasion-specific variance components across mothers, fathers, teachers, and aides (convergent validity within and across setting for these two variance components). The study will investigate these two questions: (1) the amount of stable trait variance and occasion specific variance in ODD and academic impairment (AI) for mothers, fathers, teachers, and aides; and (2) the consistency (convergent validity) of the stable…

universities. Participants were asked to complete the questionnaire extracted from the exploratory factor analysis, including 26 items, through an anonymous online survey. Results A confirmatory factor analysis was completed to examine the construct validity of the fear of failure in learning scale. For structural equating modeling (SEM), maximum likelihood method was adopted. Prior to CFA, the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin measure of sampling adequacy (KMO) and the Bartlett’s test of sphericity were…

Analysis of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III The Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III (MCMI-III) was designed to be utilized as an assessment tool for clinical syndromes and personality disorders. Over the years, the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) has had revisions following changes to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The MCMI-III was in response to the DSM-IV revision. With the DSM now in the 5th edition, it is worth mentioning…

instruments; the Self-Directed Search (SDS) and the Holland Personality Mosaic (HPM) and to provide information validating the HPM instrument (Miller et al., 2008). The study attempts to measure the convergent validity of the HPM by comparing the results of it to the SDS results using the lachan Index. Convergent validity takes place when one instrument is compared to another instrument that measures the same construct. Holland introduced the concept of congruence (lachan Index), which is the…

limb amputee population are the Patient Specific Functional Scale and the Rivermead Mobility Index. When comparing outcome measure one should look at the validity, reliability and responsiveness of the outcome measure they are choosing. Reliability knows that if you run a test more than one time the same result will occur each time. Validity is defined as the degree to which an instrument…

Convergent validity refers to testing to make sure that constructs that are expected to be related, do in fact correlate with each other, while discriminant validity tests that constructs that should not be related to each other, are in fact, not related. The BDI-II has shown to have convergent validity with tests that assess anxiety and scales that assess general psychopathology. The BDI-II has correlation…

Refer to Table 1, the CFA results showed that the proposed model of five-factor of the Employee Trust Scale revealed that the majority of comparative fit indexes failed to reach the recommended standards for model fit [14, 15]. Standardized estimates for the measurement model for Employee Trust Scale showed a CFI of .723, a TLI of .867, a GFI of .874, and a RMSEA estimate of .074, and CMIN/DF of 3.804 (refer Table 1). The results suggested that the five-factor model of Employee Trust Scale did…

2013). “Approximately 52% of participants had a primary diagnosis in Axis I, and approximately 48 % had a primary diagnosis on Axis II (Zennaro, et al., 2013, p. 49).” The purpose of this study was to verify the validity data of the MCMI-III, then to compare the data to other relative literature (including the manual). Axis I outcomes indicate that the sensitivity values are not adequate, meaning that none of the syndrome scales clearly distinguish between true positives and false negatives.…
