Narco-trafficking and Camba Identity in Homero Carvalho Oliva’s La conspiración de los viejos
This article examines the novel’s use of the camba identity and the vestiges of narco-violence, embodied by a contract killer and the memory of a local drug baron, Roberto Suárez Gómez, to critique both the contemporary political tensions arising between the eastern departments of Bolivia and the MAS administration, as well as the lack of collective dialogue regarding the region’s involvement in the history of the Bolivian drug trade

Reporting practices in confirmatory factor analysis
Reporting practices in 194 confirmatory factor analysis studies (1,409 factor models) published in American Psychological Association journals from 1998 to 2006 were reviewed and compared with established reporting guidelines. Three research questions were addressed: (a) how do actual reporting practices compare with published guidelines? (b) how do researchers report model fit in light of divergent perspectives on the use of ancillary fit indice…
Revisiting Sample Size and Number of Parameter Estimates
A number of authors have proposed that determining an adequate sample size in structural equation modeling can be aided by considering the number of parameters to be estimated. While this advice seems plausible, little empirical support appears to exist. A previous study by Jackson (2001), failed to find support for this hypothesis, however, there were certain limitations to the study that likely led to the lack of findings. This study revisits t…
The Dimensions of Students’ Perceptions of Teaching Effectiveness
The use of student ratings of instructional quality is enhanced by an understanding of the nature of the underlying dimensions. In the current investigation, confirmatory factor analysis procedures were used to assess the fit of the original solution for the Student’s Perceptions of Teaching Effectiveness questionnaire to a more recent sample of more than 7,000 university classes. Furthermore, a new exploratory factor analysis was used to examine…
A Structural Model of Appropriate Adult Functioning for Boys with Disruptive Behavior Disorders
Saint Francis Academy is a residential treatment center for boys with disruptive behavior disorders. Previously collected posttreatment data was factor analyzed yielding nine factors, six of which contributed to a second-order factor called Appropriate Adult Functioning. A structural model using these six factors produced from data collected from ex-residents at 2 years postrelease was analyzed using EQS (a structural modeling program). The model…
