“…To avoid this, we performed a main component factor analysis for each category of variables. The Kaiser -Meyer -Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy is considered a good criterion for testing when data sets are suited to factor analysis ( Stewart, 1981 ;Dzubian and Shirkley, 1974 ). The results proved that all our data sets fulfi ll the minimum requirement ( Cureton and D ' Agostino, 1983 ) of a KMO larger than 0.5.…”

“…The second EFA demonstrated meritorious sampling adequacy (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin KMO = 0.88) (Dziuban and Shirkey 1974;Kaiser 1974) and Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ 2 = 4508.65, p < 0.001) suggested the items may be efficiently analyzed. Item loadings are displayed in Table 1.…”

Five-Factor Structure of the Spiritual Transcendence Scale and Its Relationship with Clinical Psychological Distress in Emerging Adults

2017

This study examined the factor structure of the Spiritual Transcendence Scale (STS) and its relation to clinically significant psychological distress in 644 (445 female) emerging adults from a private, Catholic university. The STS is broadly used in psychological research as a measure of spirituality. However, previous work has identified extensive psychometric problems with the STS, including variable factor structures and poor internal consistencies for its subscales. Results from exploratory factor analyses suggested a five-factor structure that accounted for over 57% of variance. Confirmatory factor analyses suggested this five-factor structure provided significantly better fit than the originally purported three-factor structure. Females reported significantly higher STS scores. Males with low reported spirituality reported significantly greater (and clinically significant) symptoms of psychological distress than lowly and moderately spiritual males. Females reporting low, moderate, and high levels of spirituality did not report significantly different levels of psychological distress. The findings provided contrasting conclusions from previous psychometric work on the STS, encourage continued study of its dimensionality across populations, and suggest a unique relationship between the STS and clinically significant psychological distress in emerging adults.

“…The corrélation matrix was tested for its appropriateness for factor analysis. The overall measure of sampling adequacy using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin index was found to be .989 (4). This indicated a very high degree of appropriateness for factor analysis.…”

This study investigates the relationships among Company satisfaction, company commitment and work involvement for a sample of blue-collar workers drawn from packaging, power distribution and manufacturing industries in Canada. Guttman scaling, factor analysis and correlational analysis are the statistical techniques employed to analyze the data. The results confirms the hypothesized positive relationship among the three attitudes.
