“…In cross-national investigations, Mullen (1995) advised to check the coherence in factor structures and assess factor equivalence for different samples. Reynolds and Harding (1983) suggested comparing factors across independent samples using EFA for assessing construct equivalence. Similar to Begley and Tan (2001), Mehta (2001), and Neelankavil (2000), who employed EFA for evaluating construct equivalence, researchers of this study conducted separate factor analyses for each sub-group.…”

Visitors are impressed by specific destination attributes, which are sometimes the main motivating reasons for the travel selection or sometimes they are just one of the elements of a whole destination experience. This is because tourism and travel products are generally a combination of several different supplier offerings or they are a combination of the natural and artificial attributes of a destination that cannot be fully known before the experience of travel. Moreover, the importance and influence of these attributes on overall visitor satisfaction may differ considerably, depending on the market segments. In recent years, some studies have shown that the influences of destination attributes on overall visitor satisfaction are not symmetric in every case. For the purposes of this study, the symmetric and asymmetric influences of destination attributes are investigated for three major market segments of the SideManavgat area, Antalya, Turkey. The results show that the importance and influences of destination attributes may change according to the analysis technique employed and the market segment examined.

“…Coefficients of congruence (Harman, 1976;Mulaik, 1971) were calculated between corresponding factors for the two groups. Previous research (Reynolds, 1982b;Reynolds & Harding, 1983) has shown the coefficient of congruence to be an adequate means of comparison in large sample studies with no additional indices required. Coefficient alpha estimates of internal consistency were also calculated for each age group by sex since equivalent reliability coefficients need to be demonstrated to establish the construct validity of a test (Reynolds, 1982a(Reynolds, , 1982b.…”

Responses of 584 high IQ children to the 37 item Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale were submitted to a factor analysis. The five factors that emerged (Physiological, Worry/Oversensitivity, Concentration, Lie 1, and Lie 2) were shown to be highly similar to the factors found with the normative sample. Coefficients of congruence revealed significant correspondence between all factors for the high IQ and normative group. Means and standard deviations for males and females at each age group are also reported, revealing lower levels of anxiety for the high IQ group on all variables. Reliability estimates for each age group on the three subscales of anxiety and for the total Anxiety Scale support the clinical and research use of this new scale in work with high IQ children.Identifying intellectually superior students and providing them with an appropriate education has been an important goal for educators but is presently in another cyclical period of emphasis. However, relatively little research exists concerning the various personality dimensions and affective characteristics of intellectually gifted children or whether these dimensions differ from those of children in other IQ ranges. Furthermore, the instruments commonly used to assess these dimensions have not been investigated adequately regarding validity for high IQ children nor for potential bias in their use with high IQ groups.Popular mythology has held that gifted people, especially those labeled &dquo;genius,&dquo; are particularly emotionally unstable. Although this common stereotype has persisted, the available research tends to refute the view that high IQ children have more personality disorders or emotional disturbance than normal IQ children. Much of the earlier research involved the use of projective testing and teacher ratings to measure emotional disturbance and anxiety levels.

“…Differences in factor loadings have been tested by comparing the correlations among factor loadings across groups (Dagenais, 1990;Reynolds & Harding, 1983), but this technique requires a large number of items and cannot be applied to comparisons across more than two groups. Differences in factor loadings have also been tested by congruence coefficients (Douglas & Craig, 1983;Windle, Iwawaki, & Lerner, 1988), using factor loadings obtained from EFA.…”

Multifaceted Conceptions of Self‐other Ratings Disagreement

Self‐other ratings disagreement (S‐ORD) is the extent to which one's self‐rating of performance differs from ratings made by Other people (e.g., supervisors). As increasing number of organizations adopt self‐assessment as a tool for managing performance, S‐ORD is becoming a central concern in performance appraisal research. Most past research, however, only examines S‐ORD in terms of the levels of ratings, and ignores other forms of disagreement. This paper identifies 7 different forms of S‐ORD that are detectable through the use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The causes for each form of S‐ORD are discussed, as well as its conceptual and practical implications. The procedure is illustrated by comparing 332 managers' self‐evaluations with their supervisors' evaluations. An extension of the CFA model to a full structural equation model is used to illustrate and discuss the fragmentary nature of existing approaches to S‐ORD. It is shown that valid inferences concerning S‐ORD cannot be made unless various forms of S‐ORD, and not merely the differences in overall ratings, are detected and dealt with.
