The Reliability and Construct Validity of Scores on the Six-Factor DOSC (Dimensions of Self-Concept) Scale for College Students.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Paik, Chie Matsuzawa; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2000
Added a sixth factor to the Dimensions of Self-Concept Scale-Form H (DOSC) (W. Michael and others, 1984), and examined its reliability and validity with a sample of 350 midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy. Results indicate satisfactory reliability for all six scales and an oblique six-factor model that supports the multidimensionality of the…

Little Jiffy Factor Scores and Domain Validities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kaiser, Henry F.; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1977
A formula is derived for ascertaining factor scores for the factor analytic method: Little Jiffy, Mark IV. This formula is then employed to derive a second formula giving an exact determination of the generalized Kuder-Richardson estimate of the reliability of scores on a Little Jiffy factor. (Author/JKS)

Higher-Order Abilities Conceptualized within Guilford's Structure-of-Intellect (SOI) Model for a Sample of United States Coast Guard Academy Cadets: A Reanalysis of an SOI Data Base.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chen, Chin-Yi; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1993
Empirical validation of the first-order and higher-order factor structures of the structure-of-intellect (SOI) model was provided by reanalysis of a database of 39 measures administered to 178 Coast Guard Cadets. Results suggest that SOI could be reconceptualized as a pyramid-like hierarchical theory of intelligence. (SLD)
