Tracey, Terence J. G.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1996
The relation of the general factor of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) to several response set and personality measures and the circumplex structure was studied with 105 and 1,093 undergraduates. Results support the general factor of the IIP as having a substantial nonbiasing interpretation and indicative of general interpersonal…

Bernstein, Ira H.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1986
A three subscale inventory designed by Fenigstein, Scheier, and Buss to measure self-consciousness was administered to 297 college students. Fenigstein et al.'s representation was found to fit the data in its original form. Items on the subscales differ nearly as much statistically as they do substantively. (Author/LMO)

Hoyle, Rick H.; Lennox, Richard D. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1991
The latent structure of the Self-Monitoring Scale of M. Snyder (1974) is evaluated by comparing several measurement models suggested by previous factor analysis of the scale using sample data from 1,113 college students. Implications of results are discussed in relation to self-monitoring and the use of factor analysis. (SLD)

Tepper, Kelly; Hoyle, Rick H. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1996
Confirmatory factor analysis evaluated three a priori latent variable models of responses to the Need for Uniqueness Scale completed by 552 undergraduates. An oblique three-factor model best accounted for item commonality. Additional analysis suggests a model with loadings on four modestly correlated factors to explain the scale's latent…

Borg, Ingwer; Staufenbiel, Thomas – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1992
The representation of multivariate data by icons is discussed. The factorial sun is suggested as superior to the commonly used snowflake or sun icons and as better representing the values of the different variables and their correlational structure. Two experiments with 60 college students demonstrate the factorial sun's superiority. (SLD)

Gerbing, David W.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987
The components underlying a variety of self-report measures of impulsivity were investigated, as well as the components underlying four behavioral measures involving reaction time, time estimation, and time production. Three broad factors were identified: carefree, spontaneous, and not persistent. Implications for measurement were discussed.…

Benson, Jeri; Bandalos, Deborah L. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1992
Factor structure of the Reactions to Tests (RTT) scale measuring test anxiety was studied by testing a series of confirmatory factor models including a second-order structure with 636 college students. Results support a shorter 20-item RTT but also raise questions about the cross-validation of covariance models. (SLD)

Forbes, Alan R.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1974
Comrey Personality Scales (1970) were administered to 179 New Zealand university and teachers' college students. Factor analysis of the data confirmed that the basic structure of the scales was almost identical with that found in the American normative sample. (Author/RC)

Marsh, Herbert W. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1985
This study examines the factor structure of response to the masculinity-femininity (MF) scale of the Comrey Personality Scales for males and females. The use of confirmatory factor analysis for testing hierarchical factor structures and factorial invariance is illustrated. The findings argue that MF is a multifaceted, hierarchical construct.…

Helmes, Edward – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1989
Objective criteria for evaluating the Eysenck Personality Inventory's internal structure are discussed. An approach based on targeted rotations and the test's scoring key is proposed as a means of providing common criteria. Data from earlier structure and test results for 195 undergraduates support the utility of 3 criteria developed. (SLD)

Marsh, Herbert W.; Byrne, Barbara M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1993
Extensions of the confirmatory factor analysis approach to multitrait-multimethod data are demonstrated, and self-other agreement on multiple dimensions of self-concept are evaluated in 2 studies investigating the ability of significant others to infer multiple dimensions of self-concept for 151 Australian and 941 Canadian college students.

Grote, Gudela F.; James, Lawrence R. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1991
Validity evidence for a new instrument, the Situation-Response Measure of Achievement Motivation for analyzing cross-situational consistency of achievement-related behavior, is presented in a study of 246 college students. Exploratory factor analysis indicates the presence of two factors, striving and apprehensiveness. (SLD)

Byrne, Barbara M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1991
The factorial validity of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the equivalence of factorial measurements and structure across groups were studied for 163 intermediate-grade teachers, 162 secondary school teachers, and 218 university teachers in Canada. Reasons why the MBI may not be appropriate for university educators are discussed. (SLD)
