How do these first-order generalizations relate to thesecond-orderfactor, the general life satisfaction?
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is suggested to conceptualize life satisfaction as asecond-orderfactor, which is only indirectly related to observable variables.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It yields six factor-analytically derived subscales and two broadband groupings, labeled internalizing and externalizing, which were formed bysecond-orderfactoranalyses.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thesecond-orderfactorscores were calculated by summing the scores of the first-order factors and dividing by number of first-order factors.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Therefore, thesecond-orderfactorpresumably is a mixture of both, a volatile state and a relatively stable trait.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If the latter is large, the correction of attenuation will be large too, and this in turn can increase the loadings on thesecond-orderfactor.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These factors load highly on asecond-orderfactor, which is called general life satisfaction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is demonstrated by means of confirmatory factor analysis that general satisfaction with life can be established in all societies under investigation as an overarching,second-orderfactor.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The internal consistency of the four domains proved satisfactory and the domains map onto a latent single factor (labelled quality of life) insecond-orderfactoranalysis.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Second-orderfactoranalyses confirmed a single underlying construct for these subscales that accounted for 54% and 57% of the variance at each time, respectively.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As asecond-orderfactoranalysis confirmed that a common latent construct underlies the four scales, a summary score of the 12 items was used to assess quality of life.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Second-orderfactoranalyses revealed that a single underlying dimension accounted for 71% and 74% of the variance in these subscales during seventh and eighth grade, respectively.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The present study employed problem behavior raw scores for the externalizing and internalizing second-order factors.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, such second-order factors are not properly interpreted as separate faculties (despite the popularity of such colloquial interpretations of so-called "multiple intelligences").
