Predicting Students’ Physical Activity and Health-Related Well-Being: A Prospective Cross-Domain Investigation of Motivation Across School Physical Education and Exercise Settings \ud [PDF]
A three-wave prospective design was used to assess a model of motivation guided by self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2008) spanning the contexts of school physical education (PE) and exercise.

On Structural Equation Model Equivalence
A necessary and sufficient condition for equivalence of structural equation models is presented. Compared to existing rules for equivalent model generation (Stelzl, 1986; Lee & Hershberger, 1990; Hershberger, 1994), it is applicable to a more general class including models with parameter restrictions and models that may or may not fulfil assumptions of

The effect of social media communication on consumer perceptions of brands [PDF]
Researchers and brand managers have limited understanding of the effects social media communication has on how consumers perceive brands. We investigated 504 Facebook users in order to observe the impact of firm-created and user-generated social media ...

Subgroup discovery in structural equation models.
Structural equation modeling (SEM) is one of the most popular statistical frameworks in the social and behavioural sciences. Often, detection of groups with distinct sets ofparameters in structural equation models (SEM) are of key importance for appliedresearchers, for example, when investigating differential item functioning for a mentalability test ...

A correlational analysis of the relationships among intolerance of uncertainty, anxiety sensitivity, subjective sleep quality, and insomnia symptoms [PDF]
In this study, we used structural equation modeling to investigate the interplay among Intolerance of Uncertainty (IU), Anxiety Sensitivity (AS), and sleep problems. Three hundred undergraduate students completed the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, the
