Initial outcomes from the Confident Moves online intervention to promote physical activity in adults with obesity
ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05935111, registered 7 July 2023
Investigation of validity evidence for the Coach Precompetitive Communication Questionnaire-Preference for measurement of collegiate athlete preferences of coach speech content and delivery
This study expands the existing psychometric understanding of pregame speech within the collegiate sport context
Baseline self-efficacy predicts subsequent engagement behavior in an online physical activity intervention
Background The purported benefits of online physical activity interventions, in terms of reduced costs, high reach, and easy access, may not be fully realized if participants do not engage with the programs. However, there is a lack of research on modifiable predictors (e.g., beliefs) of engagement with online physical activity interventions. The objective of this brief report was to investigate if self-efficacy to engage at baseline predicted su…
Protocol for a multicenter-cluster randomized clinical trial of a motor skills intervention to promote physical activity and health in children
Ethical approval was obtained through the Health Sciences and Behavioral Sciences IRB, University of Michigan (HUM00208311). The CHAMP-ASP study is funded by the National Institutes of Health. Findings will be disseminated via print, online media, dissemination events, and practitioner and/or research journals
Effectiveness of the Fun For Wellness Online Behavioral Intervention to Promote Subjective Well-Being in Adults with Obesity
The Global Spanish Empire
The Global Spanish Empire: Five Hundred of Place Making and Pluralism (Christine Beaule and John G. Douglass, eds.) is unique as a collected volume, both for the geographical range of its subject matter and the diverse backgrounds of its contributors. Chapters in the collection examine spaces in Oceania, Africa, and North and South America; their authors include archaeologists, anthropologists, literary scholars, historians, and art historians. T…
Modern Factor Analytic Techniques
This chapter focuses on Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM), incorporating bifactor-ESEM, which represent an overarching data analytic framework in which classical exploratory factor analysis methods have been integrated into the confirmatory factor analyses (CFA)/structural equation modeling framework. It discusses limitations related to the use of CFA, as well as some myths that maintain the use of this potentially problematic appro…

ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT03194854 , registered 21 June 2017
Longitudinal Antarctica
The history of the Antarctic is one of hypothesis and abstraction. Aristotle and James Cook, both prominent figures in Antarctic historiography, never laid eyes on the continent. Despite further exploration and accurate mapping of the continent during the “Heroic Age” of the early twentieth century, competing territorial claims continued to render Antarctica in the abstract. The continent became a space of contested ideology, serving as a canvas …
Demographic Group Differences in Domain‐specific Well‐being
Although research is available on group differences for overall well‐being, little research has explored group differences for domain‐specific well‐being. Therefore, we examined differences in overall and domain‐specific well‐being across several demographic variables: gender, income, marital status, age, ethnicity, education level, employment status, occupation, and housing tenure. We analyzed data from 1,087 participants on the I COPPE Scale, w…
Assessing Multidimensional Well-Being
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a scale of perceptions of well-being in key areas of life. We developed the I COPPE Scale, which incorporates overall as well as Interpersonal, Community, Occupational, Physical, Psychological, and Economic well-being. A total of 426 U.S. participants provided online responses to the I COPPE Scale and relevant comparison instruments. We used exploratory structural equation modeling to examine …
Complex Versus Simple Modeling for DIF Detection
Previous research has demonstrated that differential item functioning (DIF) methods that do not account for multilevel data structure could result in too frequent rejection of the null hypothesis (i.e., no DIF) when the intraclass correlation coefficient (ρ) of the studied item was the same as the ρ of the total score. The current study extended previous research by comparing the performance of DIF methods when ρ of the studied item was less than…
Empirical Contributions of the Past in Assessing Multidimensional Well‐being
The purpose of this brief report was to provide a preliminary evaluation of the empirical contributions of an individual's perceptions of the past in the practical assessment of multidimensional well‐being. Dimensions of well‐being assessed with the I COPPE Scale were interpersonal, community, occupational, physical, psychological, economic, and overall. Four hundred twenty‐six participants provided responses to the I COPPE Scale and several comp…
A Comparison of Uniform DIF Effect Size Estimators Under the MIMIC and Rasch Models
The Rasch model, a member of a larger group of models within item response theory, is widely used in empirical studies. Detection of uniform differential item functioning (DIF) within the Rasch model typically employs null hypothesis testing with a concomitant consideration of effect size (e.g., signed area [SA]). Parametric equivalence between confirmatory factor analysis under the multiple indicators, multiple causes (MIMIC) model and the Rasch…
Multilevel Modeling in Psychosomatic Medicine Research
The primary purpose of this study is to provide an overview of multilevel modeling for Psychosomatic Medicine readers and contributors. The article begins with a general introduction to multilevel modeling. Multilevel regression modeling at two levels is emphasized because of its prevalence in psychosomatic medicine research. Simulated data sets based on some core ideas from the Familias Unidas effectiveness study are used to illustrate key conce…
Sample Size and Power Estimates for a Confirmatory Factor Analytic Model in Exercise and Sport
Monte Carlo methods can be used in data analytic situations (e.g., validity studies) to make decisions about sample size and to estimate power. The purpose of using Monte Carlo methods in a validity study is to improve the methodological approach within a study where the primary focus is on construct validity issues and not on advancing statistical theory. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how Monte Carlo methods can be used to determin…
Athletes’ Perceptions of Coaching Competency Scale II-High School Teams
The purpose of this validity study was to improve measurement of athletes’ evaluations of their head coach’s coaching competency, an important multidimensional construct in models of coaching effectiveness. A revised version of the Coaching Competency Scale (CCS) was developed for athletes of high school teams (APCCS II-HST). Data were collected from athletes ( N = 748) of seven relevant sports. Athlete observations were clustered within teams ( …
The Coaching Efficacy Scale II—High School Teams
The purpose of this validity study was to improve measurement of coaching efficacy, an important variable in models of coaching effectiveness. A revised version of the coaching efficacy scale (CES) was developed for head coaches of high school teams (CES II-HST). Data were collected from head coaches of 14 relevant high school sports (N = 799). Exploratory factor analysis (n = 250) and a conceptual understanding of the construct of interest led t…
Methods for Assessing Item, Step, and Threshold Invariance in Polytomous Items Following the Partial Credit Model
Measurement invariance in the partial credit model (PCM) can be conceptualized in several different but compatible ways. In this article the authors distinguish between three forms of measurement invariance in the PCM: step invariance, item invariance, and threshold invariance. Approaches for modeling these three forms of invariance are proposed, and the mathematical relationship between the three forms is established. Parametric and contingency …
