“…Although the data are ordinal, many authors feel that this procedure is still useful as long as meaningful factors are extracted (Hutcheson & Sofroniou, 1999). The main worry is that it can result in spurious factors where items load according to 'difficulty ' (Gorsuch, 1974) and/or that the factors may be harder to interpret (Kim & Mueller, 1978). Both of these issues were kept in mind when interpreting the analysis.…”

“…The specific items for each measure are provided in the Appendix. Scale assessments consisted of exploratory factor analysis (Kim and Mueller, 1978) and reliability assessment via the use of coefficient alpha (Cronbach, 1951). Principal components factor analysis was used with orthogonal rotation to ascertain the minimum number of factors accounting for variation within each measure.…”

A positive model of consumers' trust of salesperson and manufacturer is developed which provides suggestions for improving relationships and increasing buyer ± seller trust. The findings indicate that buyer ± seller trust results from salesperson competence, lowpressure selling tactics, service quality, manufacturer ethical concern, and a general tendency to trust others. Product familiarity acts to decrease the overall trust of the salesperson. Manufacturer trust is fostered by satisfaction with the ownership experience, through the antecedents of satisfaction (salesperson competence, low-pressure selling tactics, product quality, and manufacturer ethical concern), and a general tendency to trust others. Global managerial implications and directions for future research are provided. D

“…Because individual items of the WES encompassed more than one construct, multiple cross-loadings were likely. Therefore, PCA was selected to maximize the loading of each item on one factor, thereby leading to factors that were most distinct (Kim & Mueller, 1978). Data from the WES version representing the care recipient's current behavior were used in factor analyses because (a) our goal was to develop an instrument applicable to persons with dementia and (b) information about current behavior may be more trustworthy than reliance on potentially faulty or incomplete memory of the care recipient's prior behavior.…”

Initial Psychometric Evaluation of the Wayfinding Effectiveness Scale

This study evaluates three versions of the Wayfinding Effectiveness Scale (WES), developed to differentiate problems of wayfinding and wandering behavior of community-residing elders with dementia (EWD), in 266 dyads (EWD and caregiver) recruited from Alzheimer's Association chapters. Factor analyses yield a five-factor solution (explained variance = 62.6%): complex wayfinding goals, analytic strategies, global strategies, simple wayfinding goals, and being stimulus bound. Overall, internal consistencies are high: WES (.94-.95), and subscales are stable across all versions. Testretest reliability is acceptable for the overall WES and two subscales (complex and simple wayfinding goals) for the care recipient current behavior version. Construct validity is supported by the pattern of correlations among subscales and analyses of variance (ANOVAs) showing significant differences among the care recipient (current vs. prior behavior) and caregiver versions overall and for all subscales. Results support the WES as a valid and reliable measure of wayfinding effectiveness in persons with dementia.
