Item Parceling in Structural Equation Modeling: A Primer
TLDR
In this article, the authors provide a primer of the statistical technique called parceling, or aggregating items and using those aggregates as indicators of latent constructs, for structural equation modeling (SEM).Abstract:
This article provides a primer of the statistical technique called parceling, or aggregating items and using those aggregates as indicators of latent constructs, for structural equation modeling (SEM). First, two major types of parceling (subset-item-parcel and all-item-parcel approaches), alongside the traditional item-based approach, are illustrated. Second, both pros and cons of parceling are explicated. Parceling provides psychometric and modeling-related benefits. Risks associated with parceling are also noted. Particularly, potential induction of estimation bias and model misspecification are pointed out. In relation to the latter problem, unidimensionality of the scale is highlighted as an important prerequisite for the use of parceling. Finally, issues of the number of parcels per factor and parcel-building algorithms are discussed. Forming three parcels per factor by the random algorithm is recommended. Suggestions and general guidelines for the use of item parceling for SEM are also provided.read more

Spiritual intelligence and mindfulness as sources of transformational leadership
D’Brot Calderón,Jorge Edmundo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of spiritual intelligence and mindfulness on transformational leadership behavior patterns among a sample of 542 leaders in Peru were investigated, with the results suggesting that mindfulness partially mediates the effect of the spiritual intelligence on Transformational Leadership.

Longitudinal Relationships among Cybervictimization, Peer pressure, and Adolescents' Depressive Symptoms.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined bidirectional relationships among adolescents' cyber-victimization, peer pressure, and depressive symptoms, and examined whether these relationships would vary as the roles of gender and economic stress.

TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...
