Fraboni, Maryann; Saltstone, Robert – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
Six hierarchical clustering methods were applied to subtest intercorrelations for each of the nine age groups in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) standardization sample. Results point to the possibility of three simultaneously plausible solutions as they support each of the traditional factor structures in varying degrees.…

Ellis, D. W.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1980
Students in grades 7 through 12 completed the Self Observation Scales. The factor structures of six age/grade groups were compared to determine the stability of the structure of self-concept. Seven dimensions of self-concept were found to be stable while one dimension of self-concept changed. (Author/BW)

Kamphaus, Randy W.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test 3 models of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (2-, 3-, and 4-factor conceptualizations) for 11 age groups with 200 subjects per age group. The four-factor model is somewhat supported, but its theoretical or clinical importance is unclear. (SLD)

Thompson, Bruce; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1996
The construct validity of scores on the Behavior Rating Scale of the revised Bayley Scales of Infant Development was studied with national standardization samples of children ranging from 1 to 42 months and a variety of factor analytic methods. The factor structure became more complex at older ages. (SLD)

Chodzinski, Raymond T.; Randhawa, Bikkar S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
This study investigated the factor structure of the 10 subtests of the Career Maturity Inventory (CMI). Although two principal factors emerged, the CMI Competence and Attitude subtests did not load distinctly on the two separate factors. Results also tended to indicate that the discriminant validity of the CMI may be minimal. (PN)

Mueller, Daniel J.; Kim, Kyung – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2004
This study tested the unidimensionality of the Tenacious Goal Pursuit (TGP) and Flexible Goal Adjustment (FGA) scales and examined the relationships of the factors measured in these scales with two criterion constructs (happiness and self-acceptance) and with age in a sample 292 adults (ranging from 50 to 90 years). Confirmatory factor analyses…

Alexander, Douglas G.; Engin, Ann W. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1986
The Survey of Reading Attitudes-Primary Level was administered orally to 269 first-grade, 240 second-grade, and 236 third-grade students. The responses were factored separately by grade using a principal factor method with varimax rotation. The results provided evidence for the multidimensionality of primary students' reading attitudes. (LMO)

Wolf, Thomas M.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1982
A factor analysis of the Children's Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale was conducted with a biracial sample of children over a wide age range. Three factors (personal control and helplessness, achievement and friendship, and luck) had sufficient item loadings to be interpretable. (Author/GK)

Cunningham, Walter R. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1980
Army alpha longitudinal data on the same 96 males tested in 1919, 1950, and 1960 were analyzed in addition to data on 123 undergraduates tested in 1972-4. Young adults in 1919 and 1970 were similar. Results suggest that traditional factor analysis taxonomies for young adults misrepresent elderly persons. (Author/CP)

Stake, Jayne E. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
The Six-Factor Self-Concept Scale was developed as a multidimensional measure of adult self-concept to be applicable across life settings and activities. Confirmatory factor analysis reveals a reasonably good fit for data from a sample of 365 noncollege adults. High factor congruence is found between gender and age groups. (SLD)

Galejs, Irma; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
The Personal Reaction Scale was developed as a test for adults to measure their locus of control perceptions. It was administered to women college students, their parents, and parents of preschool children. Responses were factor analyzed to yield six factors: Fate, Social Self, Personal Self, Self-Determination, Luck, and Powerlessness.…

Zbaracki, Jacqueline U.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
The 121-item Children's Interest Inventory was administered to 517 children in grades four through six. Teachers also rated each child's scholastic, social, and creative ability. Factor analysis revealed nine boys' factors and eight girls'. Interests were not related to ability ratings, somewhat related to grade, and highly related to gender.…

Michael, William B.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1984
The study determined whether the hypothesized constructs of the Dimensions of Self-Concept Scale (DOSC), a measure of academic self-concept, could be identified for a college sample as well as eighth-grade students. DOSC seemed to be a valid indicator of academic self-concept for college students. (Author/DWH)

Marsh, Herbert W.; Tracey, Danielle K.; Craven, Rhonda G. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2006
Confirmatory factor analysis of responses by 211 preadolescents (M age = 10.25 years,SD = 1.48) with mild intellectual disabilities (MIDs) to the individually administered Self Description Questionnaire I-Individual Administration (SDQI-IA) counters widely cited claims that these children cannot differentiate multiple self-concept factors.
