“…When conducting exploratory factor analysis, it is necessary to test whether there is correlation or partial correlation among variables in order to judge the feasibility of exploratory factor analysis [ 47 ]. SPSS 20 was used to conduct a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test and Bartlett's test of sphericity to consider the appropriateness of factor analysis, with the criteria to be > 0.50 and < 0.01, respectively [ 48 ]. Furthermore, Principal component analysis (PCA) is an adaptive exploratory approach for data processing, compression, and extraction [ 49 ].…”

“…Sampling adequacy for EFA was assessed by the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) test and the value of p , with the criteria to be >0.50 and <0.01, respectively ( Zhou et al, 2021 ). Equally, items with factor loading < 0.5 and loaded on the factors other than its design will be dropped out of scale.…”

Informal Safety Communication of Construction Workers: Conceptualization and Scale Development and Validation

Existing studies have highlighted the importance of informal safety communication among workers at construction sites. However, there is still a lack of empirically tested theoretical models with valid and reliable scales for describing and measuring construction workers’ informal safety communication (CWISC). Accordingly, this study aimed to fill this need by developing an instrument to assess the communication performance of construction workers. Four stages of scale development were described: construct formation, item generation, factor extraction through the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) (n = 219), and scale assessment through the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (n = 156). Using questionnaire data drawn from construction workers in China, the CWISC was verified to be a three-dimensional construct including citizenship safety communication (CSC), self-needed safety communication (SSC), and participatory safety communication (PSC). The corresponding CWISC scale with 12 items was shown to have acceptable internal consistency reliability, as well as content, convergent, and discriminant validity. The CWISC scale could serve as an instrument to assess and identify the weaknesses in informal safety communication performance of construction workers. In turn, this information could help supervisors implement appropriate management practices to those workers to enhance workplace informal safety communication. Related studies taking a multidimensional CWISC into account were expected to be carried out.

“…PST is a theoretical concept that was initially developed in Latin America; it has had a sizable volume of publications (Casari et al, 2018) and has been supported by psychometric studies on therapists of different nationalities (Moura de Carvalho et al, 2011; Prado‐Abril et al, 2020; Silva Palma & Gondim, 2016). It has been recognized as a useful model to understand therapist's working style (Heinonen, 2015; Rihacek & Roubal, 2017; Zhou et al, 2021). Originally postulated as a transtheoretical variable, the PST has shown differences between professionals of different theoretical orientations (Quiñones et al, 2022) and is connected to the personality of the therapists (Casari et al, 2019).…”

ObjectivesThe therapeutic alliance (TA) has been shown to be a predictor of psychotherapy treatment success. In the case of psychotherapy with children, there is a dearth of information on TA's role. The aims of the paper are: (1) To estimate the therapist effects on children TA; (2) to investigate if therapists' TA predicts children's TA; (3) to analyze if children's age and sex predict children's TA; (4) to evaluate if the therapist's characteristics predict children's TA.MethodsThe sample consisted of 77 children undergoing psychotherapy in Argentina, and the therapists (N = 29) providing services to those children. The assessment tools utilized for the study included the Therapy Alliance Scale for Children and the Personal Style of the Therapist Questionnaire (PST‐Q).ResultsFindings indicated that 2% of the children's TA was explained by the therapists (ICC = 0.02), while 17% of the therapists' TA was explained by the therapists (ICC = 0.17). Therapists' TA predicted children's TA. Children's age and sex did not have an effect on their own TA. Moreover, therapists with more experience achieved higher scores of children's TA. Finally, the Operative dimension of the PST had a negative effect on children's TA (i.e., therapists who prefer more spontaneous interventions over structured ones may experience higher levels of therapeutic alliance with child patients).ConclusionWe found a positive effect of the therapist's TA on children's TA, especially in the preference for using more spontaneous intervention techniques. We discuss the implications of the findings on the training of psychotherapists who provide services to children.
