Cleveland, PhD College of Education Counselor Education Program Assistant Professor, Leadership, Technology & Human Development Food World Member, 2014-present  Keep it Brief Richard… • Research Interests [NOTE: not an exhaustive listing] • Validating Protocols for “New” Populations • Considering Assumptions Helping Students Flourish • Resiliency  Positive Psychology (Lopez et al., 2009) • Spirituality  Professional Recognition (ACA, ASCA, CACREP)  Conceptualizing Spirituality ▫ Internal & Possibly Secular (Noddings, 2006) ▫ Religious (Fowler, 1981) ▫ constructivist (Phillips, 1995) • Spirituality & General Well-Being  Developmental/Psychological (Kim & Esquivel, 2011) Holder, Coleman & Wallace (2010) • Correlations between Spirituality, Religiosity & Happiness in Children ▫ 3 Happiness (FACES, OHQ-SF, SHS) ▫ 1 Spirituality (SWBQ) ▫ 1 Religiosity (PBS) ▫ 1 Temperament (EAS)   So What Did Richard Do? • “New” Populations ▫ Instruments Created/Administered with Adult Samples (spirituality, subjective well-being, temperament, etc.) ▫ Instruments Created/Administered with English Samples (mindfulness, e.g., CAMM-K)  • “New” Latent Variables ▫ School Counselor PK-12 CGCP Implementation Assumptions Richard Made 1. EFA versus CFA 2. PAF versus PCA 3. Skewness & Kurtosis Parameters 4. Parallel Analysis EFA versus CFA • Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) investigates hypotheses about identified factors and their relationships with each other. • Exploring a construct (e.g., latent variable) and the contributing factor(s) within requires EFA.  (Field, 2009; Nunnally & Bernstein, 1994; Pedhazur & Schmelkin, 1991; Pett et al., 2003)  PAF vs. PCA • Underlying Mathematics (Fabrigar & Wegener, 2012; Field, 2009; Tabachnick & Fidell, 2007) ▫ PAF correlations among variables ▫ PCA reducing variables to a smaller set • Variance (Fabrigar & Wegener, 2012; Tabachnick & Fidell, 2007) ▫ PAF analyzing shared variance only ▫ PCA no distinction between common/unique variance • Theory (Fabrigar & Wegener, 2012; Gall, Gall & Borg, 2007) ▫ PAF parameter estimates generalized beyond sample ▫ PCA parameters fit to sampling at core level Skewness & Kurtosis • EFA Parameters ▫ Skewness <│2│ ▫  Kurtosis  <│7│             (Fabrigar & Wegener, 2012) Parallel Analysis • Determining the appropriate number of factors ▫ Random data generated in a parallel (similar) model ▫ Non trivial components in the model influence both raw & random data ▫ Eigenvalues: Raw > Random ▫ SPSS Syntax O’Connor (2000)  (Fabrigar & Wegener, 2012; Fabrigar, Wegener, MacCallum, & Strahan, 1999; Hayton, Allen, & Scarpello, 2004; O’Connor, 2000) Thank You rcleveland@georgiasouthern.edu @RichieKinz http://richardcleveland.me
