And a byzantine set of rules set by the federal Transportation Department regulates such seemingly straightforward items as headlight design and window glass — even the contours of dashboard knobs and the design of the rearview mirror.
However, if the ruling survives all the legal challenges to come, there are several relatively straightforward items that a Northwestern players' union -- or a potential athletes' union at any university -- could bring to the bargaining table quickly.
The results indicated two distinct factors consisting of straightforward items and reverse-worded questions that jointly accounted for 51.6% of variance observed.
There are several possible explanations for our findings contrasting these: First, the use of simple, straightforward items, rather than a long list and the investigation of subscales, might increase the likelihood of detecting associations.
However as this example demonstrates, even seemingly straightforward items can be misinterpreted due to the influence of previous items and therefore suggests that more contextual information may be needed.
Because the SDLI was concise, with only 20 very straightforward items, most of the students in this study were able to complete it in about 5 minutes, with very few missing data points.
