“…Items that correlated poorly with other items were deleted. To ensure sampling adequacy, items with poor Kaiser‐Meyer‐Olkin scores (less than 0.7) were deleted until an overall score of 0.7 was obtained, thereby exceeding the minimum value of 0.6 recommended by Hutcheson and Sofroniou (1999). As a result, 15 items for identification and 18 items for management were included in the factor analysis.…”

Improving content and consistency on developmental disabilities in undergraduate medical curricula has been recommended as a means of improving health outcomes for people with developmental disabilities. Although often the subject of studies in Western countries, little is known about content on developmental disabilities in undergraduate curricula in developing countries. A study was undertaken to: (1) explore content and experience with developmental disabilities received in undergraduate training by medical practitioners in Malaysia; and (2) explore perceptions of their role in the identification and management of developmental disabilities in practice. Comparisons were made according to location of training. Data were collected using a 107‐item questionnaire that was administered to 230 newly graduated house officers on their first rotations in seven public hospitals in Peninsula Malaysia. Deficits and inconsistencies were indicated in both content and experience of developmental disabilities during training. Uncertainty about their role in the identification and management of developmental disabilities was evident. Greater inconsistencies and deficits were evident for respondents trained in Eastern and Middle Eastern countries compared with those trained in Malaysia and Western countries. Results suggest a need for increased content, consistency, and intentional exposure in relation to developmental disabilities during undergraduate training across all training settings.

“…Factor analyses were conducted on the 21 items in the questionnaire for identification and the 25 items for management of a developmental disability. As a first step, assumptions were tested to ensure the data were suitable for factor analysis (Hutcheson & Sofroniou, 1999). Correlation matrices were inspected to ensure correlation among items.…”

“…In addition, this method provided a better comparison with Tyler et al (2009), Perreau et al (2014b, and the Potvin et al (2011) study, which suggested 3-and 4-factor solutions. Because the different dimensions explored by the SHQ are very likely to be correlated with each other, an oblique factor rotation method (direct oblimin) was chosen (Hutcheson & Sofroniou 1999), similar to Akeroyd et al (2014) in their factor analysis of the SSQ. The percentages of variance explained by the different factors will be given before rotation, for easier comparison with literature data, and after rotation.…”

A comparison of factor analysis outcomes among the English, Dutch, and French versions of the SHQ confirmed good conceptual equivalence across languages and robustness of the SHQ for use in international settings. In addition, SHQ and SSQ scores showed remarkable similarities, suggesting the possibility of extrapolating the results from one questionnaire to the other. Although the SHQ was originally designed in a population of cochlear implant patients, the present results show that its usefulness could easily be extended to noncochlear-implanted, HI subjects.

“…Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ 2 = 2.19, p > .10) revealed that the correlation matrix departed significantly from an identity matrix (thus, the correlations were significantly different from zero). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test (KMO = .72) revealed diffusion in the pattern of correlations among the items, resulting in being labeled worse than -mediocre‖ (Hutcheson & Sofroniou, 1999). Although extreme multicollinearity (the variables being very highly correlated, r > .8) was found (Haitovsky‗s χ 2 = 1.78, p > .10; Haitovsky, 1969;Rockwell, 1975), which could be one cause of the problem in separate factors being identified, it is not clear that this would result in the failure to derive a solution as principal component analysis is less concerned with multicollinearity issues than other methods (Field, 2009).…”

Conceptual models of the playfulness construct: Additive, balanced, or synergistic?

Four conceptual models and measures of adult playfulness were investigated and compared. Each proffers different constitutive dimensions underlying the construct, and argues that the explanation for playfulness lies within the independent or relative contributions of the dimensions, or in their interactive relationship. 646 undergraduate university students with complete data on all four measures, as well as on a self-rated criterion assessment, participated in the study. The findings indicated the extent to which each model was best regarded as an additive, balanced, or synergistic relationship, and further revealed their differential efficacy and predictive power in capturing and elucidating the adult playfulness construct. An alternative model is proposed in which the most powerful predictors are synthesized. Contributions toward an increased understanding of playfulness in young adults were identified from the collation of results and their competing hypotheses, and directions for the trajectory of further research utilizing the conceptual frameworks were presented.
