This study applies Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to examine the internal structure and reliability of an academic, work, and community intentions scale for a cohort of out-of-school-time (OST) academic/STEM enrichment program participants (N = 533). This study utilizes the SPSS and SAS statistical software packages for comparative analysis. Both provide evidence of a three-factor model for intentions--Academic, Work/Health Science, and Community (i.e., the AWHSCI). The ordinal Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients were excellent or good. Non-parametric tools were employed to determine differences in participants' academic, work/health science, and community intentions by race and gender.
本研究采用探索性因素分析(EFA)来检验课外学术/STEM 强化项目参与者(N=533)的学术、工作和社区意向量表的内部结构和可靠性。本研究使用 SPSS 和 SAS 统计软件包进行比较分析。这两种方法都为意向的三因素模型提供了证据——学术、工作/健康科学和社区(即 AWHSCI)。有序 Cronbach's alpha 可靠性系数为优秀或良好。采用非参数工具来确定参与者的学术、工作/健康科学和社区意向在种族和性别上的差异。
