Evaluating Factor Retention in Large Factor Analysis Models
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is widely used to identify latent structures measured by observed indicators. Nevertheless, determining the number of factors remains a methodological challenge, especially when the size of the EFA model is large (e.g., models with more than 10 indicators per factor and more than five factors). This study evaluated the performance of 15 factor-retention methods under large factor analysis models, including parall…

The study was conducted through online surveys, questionnaires, data analysis, and or…
Do external threats decrease political polarization? Climate change and immigration discussions on Finnish Twitter after the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Increasing political polarization poses a serious challenge to democracy. Research has suggested that the rise of an external threat caused by an adversarial state can reduce polarization and increase social cohesion, but the evidence for this claim is mixed. To better understand this phenomenon, we examine whether the external threat posed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 depolarized the divisive topics of immigration and climate…
Improving the Use of Parallel Analysis by Accounting for Sampling Variability of the Observed Correlation Matrix
Parallel analysis has been considered one of the most accurate methods for determining the number of factors in factor analysis. One major advantage of parallel analysis over traditional factor retention methods (e.g., Kaiser’s rule) is that it addresses the sampling variability of eigenvalues obtained from the identity matrix, representing the correlation matrix for a zero-factor model. This study argues that we should also address the sampling …
Quasi-decadal oscillation of concurrent cold extremes and intense surface ultraviolet radiation events over the East European Plain
The East European Plain, a densely populated region and major contributor to global grain production, has emerged as a critical hotspot for climatic extremes. Using multiple sets of reanalysis data, this study identifies a systematic co-occurrence of cold extremes and intense surface ultraviolet (UV) radiation in winter over this region, forming compound cold-UV extreme events (cold-UV CEEs). The cold extremes are primarily driven by the East Atl…
Parental Autonomy Granting, Self-Construal, and Social Initiative Among Chinese Adolescents
Improving generalizability of developmental research through increased use of homogeneous convenience samples
Due to its heavy reliance on convenience samples (CSs), developmental science has a generalizability problem that clouds its broader applicability and frustrates replicability. The surest solution to this problem is to make better use, where feasible, of probability samples, which afford clear generalizability. Because CSs that are homogeneous on one or more sociodemographic factor may afford a clearer generalizability than heterogeneous CSs, the…
Beyond traditional classrooms
Behavior management training for teachers in the induction phase
Teachers in the induction phase (i.e., the first 3 years of teaching) can be underprepared to support students who engage in challenging behavior. This can be due to limited preservice education and ongoing professional development in behavior management. Yet, students who engage in challenging behavior are at an increased risk of being referred to intervention services and/or special education, especially at the elementary level. The purposes of…
Using Multiple Imputation to Account for the Uncertainty Due to Missing Data in the Context of Factor Retention
Although parallel analysis has been found to be an accurate method for determining the number of factors in many conditions with complete data, its application under missing data is limited. The existing literature recommends that, after using an appropriate multiple imputation method, researchers either apply parallel analysis to every imputed data set and use the number of factors suggested by most of the data copies or average the correlation …
Southern Hemispheric jet swing linked to Arctic stratospheric polar vortex
Our study reframes our understanding of stratosphere–troposphere interactions, traditionally thought to be confined within individual hemispheres, by introducing a novel cross-hemispheric link. We demonstrate that strong boreal winter Arctic stratospheric polar vortex (APV) boosts the transmission of upper tropospheric waves from Northern Hemisphere’s mid-high latitudes to the equator. Facilitated by the tropical central and eastern Pacific’s ‘we…

Too Many Jobs and Not Enough Hands
Refugees and immigrants have experienced heightened health inequities related to COVID-19. As community-embedded frontline health personnel, refugee and immigrant community health workers (riCHWs) played essential roles in the provision of informational, instrumental, and emotional support during the unprecedented first year of the pandemic. Despite the importance of this workforce, riCHWs are at high risk for burnout due to low recognition and d…

Guided by the developmental niche framework, this ethnographic study aimed to explore immigrant Chinese parenting beliefs and practices in the Midwestern United States. Nine immigrant Chinese parents (eight mothers and one father) living in two Midwestern states were interviewed for their caretaking practices, expectations for children, understanding of cultural influences on parenting, and perceived challenges and resources in the community. Qua…
Simulation of solar radiation on metropolitan building surfaces
The current use of the Geographic Information System (GIS) and Parametric Environmental Simulation (PES) to calculate the solar radiation on building surfaces cannot be effectively applied to large-scale scenes. To overcome the scale and dimensionality issues when estimating solar radiation on large-scale building surfaces, an ingenious solar radiation simulation framework, which can extend the depth of study and expand the number of possible cal…
Enhancement of Arctic surface ozone during the 2020–2021 winter associated with the sudden stratospheric warming
Surface ozone is an important pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Here, we find that the Arctic surface ozone during the 2020–2021 winter was evidently enhanced after the sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) onset based on reanalysis data and simulations of a state-of-the-art chemistry-climate model. Further analysis suggests that this enhancement of Arctic surface ozone is primarily a result of the strengthening of the stratos…
Concurrent hot extremes and high ultraviolet radiation in summer over the Yangtze Plain and their possible impact on surface ozone
Hot extremes, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and surface ozone all have prominent effects on human health and ecosystems. Here we show evidence that both hot extremes and high surface UV radiation at noon time occur concurrently in summer over the Yangtze Plain. Composite analysis suggests that hot extremes in summer are primarily caused by the westward extension of the Western Pacific Subtropical High, which leads to less clouds and consequently mo…

Incorporating Uncertainty Into Parallel Analysis for Choosing the Number of Factors via Bayesian Methods
A number of psychometricians have suggested that parallel analysis (PA) tends to yield more accurate results in determining the number of factors in comparison with other statistical methods. Nevertheless, all too often PA can suggest an incorrect number of factors, particularly in statistically unfavorable conditions (e.g., small sample sizes and low factor loadings). Because of this, researchers have recommended using multiple methods to make j…
Determining the Number of Factors When Population Models Can Be Closely Approximated by Parsimonious Models

Proportion of Indicator Common Variance Due to a Factor as an Effect Size Statistic in Revised Parallel Analysis
Past research suggests revised parallel analysis (R-PA) tends to yield relatively accurate results in determining the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis. R-PA can be interpreted as a series of hypothesis tests. At each step in the series, a null hypothesis is tested that an additional factor accounts for zero common variance among measures in the population. Integration of an effect size statistic—the proportion of common variance (…
The Influence of Number of Categories and Threshold Values on Fit Indices in Structural Equation Modeling with Ordered Categorical Data
This study examines the unscaled and scaled root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), comparative fit index (CFI), and Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) of diagonally weighted least squares (DWLS) and unweighted least squares (ULS) estimators in structural equation modeling with ordered categorical data. We show that the number of categories and threshold values for categorization can unappealingly impact the DWLS unscaled and scaled fit indices, a…

RMSEA, CFI, and TLI in structural equation modeling with ordered categorical data
Categorical Omega With Small Sample Sizes via Bayesian Estimation
When item scores are ordered categorical, categorical omega can be computed based on the parameter estimates from a factor analysis model using frequentist estimators such as diagonally weighted least squares. When the sample size is relatively small and thresholds are different across items, using diagonally weighted least squares can yield a substantially biased estimate of categorical omega. In this study, we applied Bayesian estimation method…
