Shye, Samuel – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1981
The structure of contents by any of the multidimensional scaling methods, including Smallest Space Analysis, and comparisons of such structures cannot be meaningfully studied without reference to the investigated item contents. Except in rare cases, methods that focus only on the spatial distribution of points are not appropriate. (RL)

Langeheine, Rolf – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1980
Detailed reanalyses of data reported in Studies in Educational Evaluation: Monograph No. 1 by Y. Kashti and Monograph No. 5 by U. Kattmann, 1979, were performed using an explicitly structurally oriented approach via target analysis (PINDIS). Results contradict those reached by Kashti and Kattmann. (RL)
