Attributions of the Term Feminist: A Factor Analytic Development of a Measuring Instrument.

Berryman-Fink, Cynthia; Verderber, Kathleen S.

Psychology of Women Quarterly, v9 n1 p51-64 Mar 1985

A semantic differential measure of the attributions of the term feminist was developed and administered to 768 college students. Principal components analysis resulted in five factors: general evaluation, behavioral characteristics, political orientation, sexual preference, and gender classification. Internal replication and stability of the factor structure was obtained. (Author/BL)
