Factor analysis as a tool for data analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The use of factor analysis in analyzing real data is influenced not only by mathematical models but also by the objectives of the research at hand, the amount of data to be analyzed and the departures of the data from the model. Factor analysis is a process performed in several steps, including data screening and assessment of assumptions necessary for the model as well as the actual computations—the new analyst may need assistance in deter-mining the initial method of extraction, how many factors to request, the method of rotation and how to interpret the factors— these steps are discussed with reference to figures containing computer output for a real problem. The importance of auxiliary information and graphical displays to aid the statistician during the factor analysis process is stressed. 相似文献

The effects of high-conflict divorce and parental separation on couples and their children are explored along with the costs of ongoing relitigation of these cases in the family court system. Parenting coordination is discussed as an intervention to assist high-conflict divorcing and separating parents to effectively communicate and parent their children following marriage dissolution. It is also presented as an alternative to reduce instances of recurring legal battles. According to the literature reviewed, positive outcomes of decreased relitigation include less expense for the divorcing and separating parents, the family court system, and society as a whole. Implications for practice and research are presented. 相似文献

Generally, service agencies are either private or public non-profit firms. This paper analyzes the provision of services in terms of the developing theory of non-profit institutions. The primary purpose of the paper is to present the indicator-operational target approach as a way of monitoring and improving the effectiveness of social service agencies. In addition, a system of internal and external checks, developed by Gordon Tullock, and alternatives for improving incentives and institutions, developed by William Niskanen, are presented. 相似文献

Although the rate of lesbian and gay (LG) parents is increasing, lesbian and gay adults are less likely than heterosexual adults to be parents, as desire and intention to become a parent tend to be lower. This study aims at assessing 290 childless LG individuals (120 lesbian women and 170 gay men) to explore the influence of minority stress, gender differences, and legalization of civil unions in Italy on parenting desire and intention. The results indicated that the minority stressors associated with parenting dimensions included prejudice events, outness, and internalized homophobia for lesbian women, but only felt stigma among gay men. Support from family or significant others buffered the effects of minority stressors on parenting dimensions. Thus, the minority stress processes partly explain the intention and desire to become parents in LG childless individuals. Furthermore, lesbian women showed higher levels of parenting desire and intention than gay men and the levels of these parenting dimensions increased after the law on civil unions was enacted. The findings have important implications for both social policies and clinical practice. 相似文献

This study investigated the mechanisms of risk for urban women at high risk for HIV with and without childhood sexual abuse histories. Childhood sexual abuse survivors reported more unprotected intercourse and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The association of STI locus of control with frequency of unprotected sex was fully mediated by being intoxicated during sex and engaging in sex work, whereas the association between relational control and unprotected sex was not mediated by contextual factors for the childhood sexual abuse group. The mechanisms of risk are different for those with divergent childhood sexual abuse histories and thus interventions should be developed to educate women with a history of childhood sexual abuse about ways to avoid revictimization, particularly within a context of poverty, prostitution, and drug use. 相似文献

The purpose of this article was to review the empirical literature that investigated trauma and stress among older adults in the criminal justice system. Nineteen journal articles published between 1988 and 2010 were identified and extracted via research databases and included mixed age samples of adjudicated older and younger adults (n = 11) or older adult only samples (n = 8). Findings revealed past and current trauma and stress, consequences and/or correlates, and internal and external coping resources among aging offenders. The implications and future directions for gerontological social work, research, and policy with older adults in the criminal justice system are advanced. 相似文献
