“…Internal consistency analysis of the scale conducted on SAS 9.4. indicated a Cronbach's alpha of 0.86 on pretest data. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on MPlus (Múthen andMúthen, 1998-2011) to compute McDonald's hierarchical omega (Béland et al, 2017;Deng and Chan, 2017;Peters, 2014), with the following formula:…”

Teachers’ collective efficacy is predictive of students’ success. School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports implementation requires the whole team to set itself common goals regarding behavior management. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the medium-term effects of a SWPBIS intervention on teachers’ collective efficacy. Nine schools and 139 teachers and staff members (n intervention = 74, n control = 65) took part in the study. The study shows that SWPBIS implementation has a positive effect on teachers’ collective efficacy both for primary and secondary schools at post-test 1 (ES = +0.80) and 2 (ES = +0.71). Differences are observed at baseline and at posttests according to the educational level. The link between subscales of a school climate instrument and teachers’ collective efficacy is also investigated. The “structure for learning” subscale explains the greatest variance in collective efficacy.

“…These factors were labeled: social interaction, entertainment, self-documentation, instrumental use, seeking information, and self-enhancement. To estimate the internal consistency, the McDonald's ω was preferred over the Cronbach's α (for a discussion; see Béland et al, 2017). All McDonald's ω were above .80.…”

The increasing number of social network sites (SNSs) and their changing nature raise the question of why people use SNSs. This research has a twofold objective: first, to develop a new motivation scale for using SNSs, second, to compare the utilization of five SNSs (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and LinkedIn). Two studies on 364 university students, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, established 6 motivations for using SNSs: entertainment, social interaction, seeking information, instrumental use, self-documentation and self-enhancement. Contrary to previous studies, Facebook use was not related with social interaction or self-enhancement. Like LinkedIn, the use of the platform was rather associated with peer pressure. The results also revealed that new practices, such as “social selling”, affect the motivations for using SNSs. For instance, Instagram and Snapchat were mainly driven by instrumental needs. Finally, in line with the literature, Twitter was mainly used to satisfy informational needs. The results are discussed in light of new motives behind SNSs use and differences in using specific SNSs.

“…The internal consistency reliabilities of scale were judged using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficient. The coefficient omega (ω) and coefficient omega subscale (ω S ) were calculated to judge the amount of variance explained by the general factor and the specific factors (33)(34)(35). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA, see Figure 1A) and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM, see Figure 1B) were used to assess the psychometric properties of the EOQ by using the robust maximum likelihood estimator (MLR) (36).…”

The Exercise Orientation Questionnaire (EOQ) is a method for evaluating individuals' exercise attitudes and behaviors associated with exercise motivation. A lack of exercise motivation can affect physical activity attitudes, behavior, and action among university students. Physical inactivity may lead to health risks. The purpose of this study was to assess the measurement of psychological properties in the EOQ and to determine the reliability and validity of the EOQ when applied to Chinese university students. A total of 368 university students (male 48.8%) aged between 17 and 23 years (M = 19.60, SD = 1.18) participated in the current study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) were used to verify the factorial validity of the EOQ. The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega) was used to determine reliability. Multiple regression analysis was used to test concurrent validity. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to determine the participants' level of physical activity. The range of the subscale coefficient was 0.80–0.89, and the total scale was 0.95, which indicated that the reliability of the EOQ was excellent. The research showed that the initial CFA model of the EOQ had poorly fitting indices. The corrected model after seven residual correlations achieved the setting standard, but the correlation coefficient between some factors exceeded the standard threshold, which indicated that the CFA fitting model was not ideal. ESEM is a combination of exploratory and verifiable analytical techniques. Using ESEM and abbreviated version CFA to analyze the data indicated that the model fitted well [ESEM: TLI = 0.97 > 0.90, CFI = 0.96 > 0.90, SRMR = 0.02 < 0.08, and RMSEA = 0.045 < 0.08 (90% CI 0.033–0.055); CFA: TLI = 0.92 > 0.90, CFI = 0.91 > 0.90, SRMR = 0.08, and RMSEA = 0.06 < 0.08 (90% CI 0.055–0.067)]. The results of multiple regression analysis suggested that the ESEM model was effective in distinguishing the differences between individuals with different levels of physical activity (PAL) and body mass index (BMI). Overall, the Chinese abbreviated version of the EOQ (EOQ-CA) was fond to be a reliable tool for monitoring the exercise attitudes and behaviors of Chinese University students.
