Descriptive statistic is a statistic analysis to describe the characteristic of the respondents (Pallant, 2013). This study employs descriptive statistical analysis which gives value of mean, median and standard deviation of the respondents based on several indicators, such as sex/gender, educational level, position at work and income of the respondents. By using these indicators, the researcher describes the profile of the respondents. Hence, it can give some valuable information about the respondents
technique which specifies, estimates and tests theoretical relationships between observed endogenous variables and latent, unobserved exogenous variables. (Byrne, 2001) The SEM is a statistical methodology that takes a confirmatory that is, hypothesis testing approach to the analysis of a structural theory. This theory represents causal processes that generate observations on multiple variables. (Yuan & Bentler, 1998) The SEM procedure starts with model specification that links the variables assumed

Tellegen (1985) claims that not only do these terms refer to affective state, but also affective trait dimensions, indicating that, “Trait PA and NA roughly correspond to the personality factors of extraversion and neuroticism,” respectively. While many PA and NA scales have been developed, however, these scales were unable to develop items for PA and NA that were statistically independent of each other. In an attempt to operationalize

According to Lindskog (1998), “The authors used both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with national populations in excess of 4,000 to determine if 'these scales would conform to the bidimensional structure of the diagnostic criteria' (manual, p. 5) for both the Home and School scales, and concluded that the scale items align with both a one- or two-factor (IA, ... ... middle of paper ... ...nt the instrument.

Cattell would gather huge amounts of data from individuals. Factor analysis lets researchers get conclusions on personality research. Basically using Factor analysis lets researchers find different types of answers for the way a person is personality wise. For some reason I don’t really like Cattell’s way of finding the way
in a particular way. People adopt a certain behavior due to number of factors. Some people adapt a certain lifestyle because of what they inherit from their parents. The behavior of a rich child would be different from the behavior of poor child. The behaviors may also be different due to difference in religion.

Within these sessions as well, the therapist looks at factors outside of therapy that may indicate that the client has improved. If the client indeed shows improvement based off of these factors, there are final results that can be clearly witnessed. Mary is truly an amazing client to focus on in order to visualize how this process works from the eyes of a psychotherapist

quote reveals that all goals are not hard to achieve, it is the journey that is difficult. These factors can either hinder individuals from achieving their goals or some use the negative as a stepping stone. According to “Just Walk on By: Black Men and Public Space” by Brent Staples and “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan, this quote becomes relatable. Staples and Tan experience many internal and external factors that impeded their goals. For instance, Staples experience many racial and gender-based conflict
Principal Component Analysis Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a multivariate analysis performed in purpose of reducing the dimensionality of a multivariate data set in order to recognize the shape or pattern of that data set. In other words, PCA is a powerful technique for pattern recognition that attempts to explain the variance of a large set of inter-correlated variables. It indicates the association between variables, thus, reducing the dimensionality of the data set. (Helena et al, 2000;
recent game experience, some were inquiring about the games they have recently played and how immersed they were. The questions about immersion were taken from the Immersive Experience Questionnaire. The five factors that constitute immersion was also considered in the study. The five factors are cognitive involvement, real world dissociation, emotional involvement, difficulty and control. Cognitive involvement is how mentally engaged the player is with the game. Real world dissociation is how disengaged
In today’s business industry, there are a number of management and external factors that each organisation has to deal with during day-to-day circumstances. These factors include topic areas such as technology, sustainability, leadership and management and the common environmental factors. On a global scale, every organisation will act differently which brings the number of competitive elements to rise. Within my essay I will discuss these issues in relation to Marks and Spencer, a major British

later, the westward people pushed Indians, animals, and society to a place where no American person had gone before. But all the while, one important factor determined where they transported themselves, where they settled, and what they did when they got there. This factor, the environment, profoundly affected the settlers way of life, and other factors, such as the Indians and the railroad, only aggravated a pre-existing condition. The settlers of the late 1800's had only one way to get to the west-
underlying causes of Biometra’s problems stem from two main factors: internal and external factors. This is not the case with Zappos however, where they stemmed from hardly any issues because of their effective leadership and being able to motivate their workers successfully.

collection of traits or characteristics, such as optimism, self-efficacy and hardiness, which assist an individual to adapt to adversity. Nonetheless, it is now widely accepted that resilience originates from a combination of internal and external factors and can be seen as a dynamic process which is developed over time (Tugade & Fredrickson, 2004; Ungar, 2012). It has been contended that resilience is a learned process that uses adaptable cognitive, behavioral and emotional responses to adversities
