Testing for cross-situational-consistency: A confirmatory factor analytic approach
提出用验证性因子分析(CFA)检验行为在不同情境下的一致性,通过模拟数据演示模型构建与检验,为研究者提供操作建议。
Numerous procedures have been suggested for investigating behaviors across situations for consistency versus situational specificity. It is proposed here that Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) may provide an useful addition to these procedures. To illustrate the process, a CFA model based on simulated data is presented and tested. The results of this simulation are employed to make recommendations for conducting CFA to test for cross-situational consistency.
