Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Exploratory factor analysis of the 18-item PSRBVBQ with 322 middle school teachers produced a three-factor solution with six items loading on each factor and each item loading on a single factor. → Grădinariu 2021

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Exploratory factor analysis of the 18-item questionnaire with 322 Romanian middle school teachers, using Principal Axis Factoring with Oblimin rotation. The article reports "KMO=0.81>0.60" and that the three-factor structure "explained 51.45% of the variance in the pattern of relationships among the items".
"Barlett's test of sphericity χ² (153) = 3762,570, p <0.001, suggests that items-correlations are sufficiently large for EFA and a three-factor solution resulted."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Teachers' perceived severity of bullying predicts their likelihood of reacting to incidents of aggression — related
- The three PSRBVBQ scales show good internal consistency, with Cronbach's alphas of .732 (perceived severity), .841 (response to bully) and .897 (response to victim) — related
- Exploratory factor analysis indicates a four-factor solution best fits the survey response data — related
- Exploratory factor analysis in the pilot stage supported a four-factor solution, with three items removed (a weak loading, a cross-loading, and a low item–total correlation with duplicated content) — related
