TABLE 2.

INDIVIDUAL- AND ECOLOGICAL-LEVEL STRESSOR DOMAINS DERIVED FROM FACTOR ANALYSIS

	Stressor Domains (Factor Loadings)
Stress Scales	Interpersonal Problems Cronbach α = 0.85	Housing Problems Cronbach α = 0.90	Neighborhood Problems Cronbach α = 0.90
Difficult life circumstances	0.46*	0.08	0.25
Neighborhood/block conditions	0.20	0.32	0.72*
Perceived community violence	0.25	0.14	0.65*
Rating of home	0.26	0.65*	0.18
Rating of neighborhood	0.13	0.55	0.49*
Housing conditions	0.46	0.48*	0.33
Economic strain	0.48*	0.24	0.08

^*Denotes scales included in each factor (within each column) based on factor loadings. A scale was included in a particular factor if the loading was ≥0.45. Two scales loaded highly on more than one factor (i.e., Rating of neighborhood loading with both the Neighborhood problems factor and Housing problems factor; Housing score loading with the Interpersonal problems and Housing problems factors) in which case scales were kept in the factor with which they were most conceptually consistent. A standard extraction strategy supported a three-factor solution accounting for more than 75% of the total variance.
