Research on the Supreme Deity in Daoism from the Perspective of Ancient Chinese Celestial Studies
The construction of Daoism’s pantheon is deeply intertwined with traditional Chinese celestial studies. From the Eastern Han to the Northern Wei dynasties, based on star worship and belief in Taiyi, Laozi was deified as the Great High Lord Lao. In the Eastern Jin, Ge Hong drew on the Huntian theory to shape Pangu (the Primordial Heavenly King) as a creator deity, yet his status declined due to the limited Daoist immortal realm within a finite spa…

A Proposed Solution to the Problem With Using Completely Random Data to Assess the Number of Factors With Parallel Analysis
A number of psychometricians have argued for the use of parallel analysis to determine the number of factors. However, parallel analysis must be viewed at best as a heuristic approach rather than a mathematically rigorous one. The authors suggest a revision to parallel analysis that could improve its accuracy. A Monte Carlo study is conducted to compare revised and traditional parallel analysis approaches. Five dimensions are manipulated in the s…
