“…Additionally, latent mean analysis (LMA) was performed to examine the difference of resilience by age, gender, and severity of disease ( 17 , 37 , 38 ). Although the difference between groups is often examined via the t -test or multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), these analyses may result in incorrect outcomes as they use measured variables that contain measurement errors.…”

“…LAM controls for measurement errors to overcome the limitations of the t -test or MANOVA and to detect group differences in greater accuracy ( 37 ). To conduct LMA, the assumptions should be satisfied by the invariance test, that is, configural invariance, metric invariance, and scala invariance ( 37 , 38 ). Configural invariance examines whether identical latent variables are loaded between groups so as to confirm identical basic structures.…”

“…It is to investigate whether factor coefficients are identical by controlling the identical factor loading among groups. Once this is confirmed, the next step is to test scalar invariance ( 38 ). Scalar invariance examination stipulates that respondents with identical values of latent variables should have identical observed values regardless of involved groups ( 38 , 39 ).…”

ObjectivesParental rearing behavior is one factor that influences the strength of resilience. In turn, resilience influences depression. However, it is unclear whether resilience has a mediating effect on the relationship between parental rearing and depression in adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD). Therefore, the associations between parental rearing behavior and resilience and between rearing behavior and symptoms of depression were investigated with respect to age, gender and disease severity.Subjects and methodsPatients completed a parental rearing behavior questionnaire, a resilience scale and the Children’s Depression Inventory during a routine clinic visit. Structural equation modeling with maximum likelihood estimation was used to analyze the data.ResultsThe median age of the 180 patients included in the study was 17.8 years, and 64% were male. Lower resilience was found to be associated with overprotection, punishment, rejection, and control. There was a strong relationship between resilience and symptoms of depression. Resilience varied according to gender, age group, and disease severity.ConclusionParental rearing behaviors such as emotional warmth, rejection, punishment, control, and overprotection have a significant influence on adolescent’s resilience. When developing intervention programs to increase resilience and reduce depression in adolescents with CHD, parenting attitudes, gender, age, and CHD severity should be considered.

“…As sample characteristics can be diverse and include various ages, cultures, genders and social groups, Park et al [7] suggested that researchers should account for group differences in measurement selection in order to prevent potential confounders that may lead to flawed conclusions. Therefore, it is desirable to conduct CFA in cases where data from specific populations have not undergone instrument reliability and validity testing [8].…”

“…Moreover, in Northern Ireland, Kidscreen-27 has only been tested online using exploratory factor analysis methods [15]. Researchers [4, 7, 8] propose that psychometric models should be tested in multiple populations to determine whether the hypothesised structure is generalisable. Hence, it is necessary to conduct CFA on Kidscreen-27 to determine whether: (a) researchers should opt for the hypothesised 5-factor [11] or modified [14] 7-factor structure; and (b) whether Kidscreen-27 is a psychometrically consistent measure of HRQOL for children of low SES across both Irish jurisdictions (Northern and Republic).…”

BackgroundKidscreen-27 was developed as part of a cross-cultural European Union-funded project to standardise the measurement of children’s health-related quality of life. Yet, research has reported mixed evidence for the hypothesised 5-factor model, and no confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) has been conducted on the instrument with children of low socio-economic status (SES) across Ireland (Northern and Republic).MethodThe data for this study were collected as part of a clustered randomised controlled trial. A total of 663 (347 male, 315 female) 8–9-year-old children (M = 8.74, SD = .50) of low SES took part. A 5- and modified 7-factor CFA models were specified using the maximum likelihood estimation. A nested Chi-square difference test was conducted to compare the fit of the models. Internal consistency and floor and ceiling effects were also examined.ResultsCFA found that the hypothesised 5-factor model was an unacceptable fit. However, the modified 7-factor model was supported. A nested Chi-square difference test confirmed that the fit of the 7-factor model was significantly better than that of the 5-factor model. Internal consistency was unacceptable for just one scale. Ceiling effects were present in all but one of the factors.ConclusionsFuture research should apply the 7-factor model with children of low socio-economic status. Such efforts would help monitor the health status of the population.

Systematic Review of Childhood Sedentary Behavior Questionnaires: What do We Know and What is Next?

BackgroundAccurate measurement of child sedentary behavior is necessary for monitoring trends, examining health effects, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions.ObjectivesWe therefore aimed to summarize studies examining the measurement properties of self-report or proxy-report sedentary behavior questionnaires for children and adolescents under the age of 18 years. Additionally, we provided an overview of the characteristics of the evaluated questionnaires.MethodsWe performed systematic literature searches in the EMBASE, PubMed, and SPORTDiscus electronic databases. Studies had to report on at least one measurement property of a questionnaire assessing sedentary behavior. Questionnaire data were extracted using a standardized checklist, i.e. the Quality Assessment of Physical Activity Questionnaire (QAPAQ) checklist, and the methodological quality of the included studies was rated using a standardized tool, i.e. the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist.ResultsForty-six studies on 46 questionnaires met our inclusion criteria, of which 33 examined test–retest reliability, nine examined measurement error, two examined internal consistency, 22 examined construct validity, eight examined content validity, and two examined structural validity. The majority of the included studies were of fair or poor methodological quality. Of the studies with at least a fair methodological quality, six scored positive on test–retest reliability, and two scored positive on construct validity.ConclusionNone of the questionnaires included in this review were considered as both valid and reliable. High-quality studies on the most promising questionnaires are required, with more attention to the content validity of the questionnaires.PROSPERO registration number: CRD42016035963.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s40279-016-0610-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
