Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling Analysis of the Social Network Site Use Motives Scale. [PDF]
Objective Social Network Site Use Motives Scale (SUMS) was developed under the assumption that it consists of six factors, but only four factors were extracted as a result of Exploratory Factor Analysis. The goal of the present study was to investigate whether SUMS consists of four or six factors using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory

Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling Analysis of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index 3. [PDF]
Anxiety sensitivity is associated with the onset and progression of various emotional disorders. The Anxiety Sensitivity Index 3 (ASI-3) is a self-report scale for anxiety sensitivity. This study aims to resolve the ongoing controversy about the factorial structure of the ASI-3 using exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), a newly advanced ...

An Illustration of the Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) Framework on the Passion Scale [PDF]
While exploratory factor analysis (EFA) provides a more realistic presentation of the data with the allowance of item cross-loadings, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) includes many methodological advances that the former does not.

Dimensionality of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ48)
Currently there is debate as to whether mental toughness is a unidimensional or multidimensional construct. To investigate the dimensionality of the Mental Toughness Questionnaire 48-items (MTQ48), a widely used measure of mental toughness, we examined ...

Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling of Personality Data [PDF]
The current article compares the use of exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) as an alternative to confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) models in personality research. We compare model fit, factor distinctiveness, and criterion associations of factors derived from ESEM and CFA models.
