So-called natural food is one of the most significant current trends in the food business. Despite this trend, previous research on the measurement of naturalness has made no distinction between different groups of consumers. Therefore, the objective of this study is to explore the attributes important to millennial university students when evaluating food naturalness. The study is based on a questionnaire administered to a sample of 372 respondents. Using a partial least square (PLS) methodology, it performs a standard confirmatory factor analysis for measurement and validations. As a result, it identifies one attribute linked to how the food is grown and eight attributes associated to how it is produced and processed. These findings have several implications. Apart from testing previous scales in a millennial context, they confirm that market strategies must take different understandings of naturalness into account contingent upon the consumer group.

The hierarchical construction model (HCM) may be used to minimize colinear formative indicators while increasing the statistical power of content-specific constructs. However, the present research discovered a strong correlation between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and job satisfaction, indicating a lack of discriminating validity that limits the use of HCM. Thus, this research condensed data on job satisfaction for university staff by comparing a consistent partial least square (PLSc) model to a composite model without utilizing higher-order constructs. The sample consisted of 392 individuals working in a Thai university with a total of 1,042 staff. The results show that the composite model performs better than a consistent partial least square, generating bias. Intrinsic motivation is both a direct and indirect effect on job satisfaction. Extrinsic motivation is a complementary model mediator effect. The limitation of the study is an inherent relation between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and indicators of job satisfaction, which can cause a common factor model bias. Further studies where the partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) is compared early with the covariance-based structural equation model (CB-SEM) are needed, particularly studies using composite indicators. PLS-SEM can now be used to measure both confirmatory composite analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, while CB-SEM can only estimate confirmatory factor analysis. The method of condensing data may help eliminate discriminant validity issues.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji secara empiris pengaruh orientasi tujuan dan penyempurnaan sistem administrasi terhadap anggaran berbasis kinerja, menguji interaksi money follow program dalam memperkuat hubungan antara orientasi tujuan dan penyempurnaan sistem administrasi dengan anggaran berbasis kinerja dan implikasinya terhadap e-government.Populasi penelitian ini adalah 259 pegawai yang terlibat dalam penyusunan anggaran pada satuan kerja Lapas dan Rutan se-NTB. Jumlah sampel ditentukan dengan teknik  purposive sampling berjumlah 89 responden atau merepresentasikan 34% dari populasi penelitian. Alat analisis data yang digunakan adalah Partial Least Square (PLS). Pengujian pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan first order confirmatory factor analysis. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa orientasi tujuan dan penyempurnaan sistem administrasi berpengaruh positif terhadap anggaran berbasis kinerja, tetapi interaksi money follow program tidak berpengaruh terhadap hubungan orientasi tujuan dan penyempurnaan sistem administrasi dengan anggaran berbasis kinerja. Temuan lain mengindikasikan bahwa optimalisasi anggaran berbasis kinerja memiliki implikasi terhadap penerapan e-government. Implikasi penelitian ini dapat berguna sebagai pertimbangan dalam merumuskan grand design penyusunan anggaran, bahwa perlu adanya sinergi penerapan money follow program antara tingkat Kementerian dengan Satuan Kerja dalam memperkuat program prioritas nasional, selain itu sebagai evaluasi penerapan e-government dalam area layanan publik.

Abstract Objectives: This paper describes the development and translation of a questionnaire purported to measure (1) the perception of the placement strategy of automated external defibrillator, (2) the perception on the importance of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated external defibrillator (3) the perception on the confidence and willingness to apply these two lifesaving interventions as well as (4) the fears and concerns in applying these two interventions. For construct validation, exploratory factor analysis was performed using principal axis factoring and promax oblique rotation and confirmatory factor analysis performed using partial least square. Results Five factors with eigenvalue >1 were identified. Pattern matrix analysis showed that all items were loaded into the factors with factor loading >0.4. One item was subsequently removed as Cronbach’s alpha >0.9 which indicates redundancy. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated acceptable factor loadings except for one item which was subsequently removed. Internal consistency and discriminant validity was deemed acceptable with no significant cross-loading.

Weight Stigmatization

The present study was intended to develop a scale to measure perceived weight stigmatization among people with obesity. The study was conducted in five steps. In first step, three focus group discussions were conducted with female obese university students to get the first-hand information related to weight stigmatization. Step two involved four interviews which were conducted with male obese university students to collect detailed information about weight stigmatization experiences of men. Step three included content analysis of qualitative data for item generation. In step four, judge’s opinion was taken, and a committee approach was carried out to select the items for the initial form of the scale. Items for final form of the scale were selected through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis in step five. For exploratory factor analysis, 150 university students (men = 61, women = 89) were included in the sample, whereas, for confirmatory factor analysis, another group of students (men = 78, women = 72) participated in the study. Principal Component Factor Analysis revealed three meaningful structures including Self-Perception, Perceived Social Rejection, and Perceived Impact containing 43 items. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed this factor structure and all 43 items possessed factor loadings greater than .40. Moreover, results indicated that perceived weight stigmatization had high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = .96) with three subscales having internal consistency .95, .83, and .92 respectively. Therefore, Perceived Weight Stigmatization Scale turned out to be a reliable and valid instrument for measuring perception of weight stigma in adults with obesity.

Abstract: Confirmatory factor analysis and psychometric properties of the Beck Hopelessness Scale in students in contexts of poverty in Mexico. Hopelessness predicts depression and suicide. In the world, suicide is the second cause of death in people between 15 and 29 years, and depression is the main cause of disability. The internal factorial structure, reliability and construct validity of the Hopelessness Scale were analyzed in upper secondary and higher education students in contexts of poverty in Mexico. 771 participants were evaluated. Reliability was examined with the coefficient omega, and validity with confirmatory factor analysis with the weighted least square mean and variance adjusted method. The value of omega was .89. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed an SRMR = .07, CFI = .95, TLI = .94, RMSEA = .05. The scale is valid and reliable for students in contexts of poverty in Mexico.Keywords: Reliability; validity; students; Beck Hopelessness Scale.Resumen: La desesperanza predice la depresión y el suicidio.

Ten humorous television advertisements were shown to 44 Finnish and 68 American university students to investigate whether Freud's two-part humor typology (tendencious/nontendencious) adequately represented the perceptions of both nationalities. Confirmatory factor analysis did not confirm the two-type structure for either nationality, and subsequent exploratory factor analysis indicated different humor perceptions for Finns and Americans Second-order factor analysis yielded an aggressive and a nonsense factor, which suggests that the more reductive two-part structure may exist across cultures.
