Factor analytic convergence of Wiggin's MMPI content scales and the author's unpublished Differential Personality Inventory (DPI) were studied. A varimax rotation yielded seven dimensions: health problems; interpersonal conflict; impulse expression vs. religiosity; denial; depressed withdrawal; cognitive dysfunction; and familial problems.

Males (N = 170) aged 24 to 91 years were measured on daydreaming and related mental activity. An earlier derived factor of "Neurotic-Anxious Absorption in Daydreaming" was found in this sample and had a negative correlation with chronological age, suggesting a decrease with increasing age.

Rehabilitation clients completed the Mini-Mult Test. Their responses were factor analyzed and reduced to four factors using Cattell's Screen Test. The first three factors replicated those found in previous research while the fourth had no parallel. The first three factors were retained as subscales. (NG)

Bem's measures of Masculinity, Femininity, and the absolute value of her androgyny measure were analyzed by the principal-components method with the Masculinity-Femininity scales from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, the California Psychological Inventory, the Omnibus Personality Inventory, and the Need for Heterosexuality scale of…

This paper explores Q-Factor Analysis as a method of organizing data on a large array of variables to describe a group of aged Ss. Forty-seven males, specially selected for their good health (Mean Age: 71.5; SD: 4.8) were measured on 550 biological and behavioral variables. A Q-Factor Analysis was calculated, using a S by variable matrix, which is…

This paper presents a study in which three separate factors with substantial face validity were replicated, factor analyzing 74 attitudes-toward-women items with two college samples of 159 and 195 subjects. Three sex-role attitudes scales based on the factor analyses were related to 10 personality variables. The relationsips supported the…

The inter-rater and test-retest reliabilities of the (DESB) Rating Scale were found to be satisfactory when averaged over two raters. Two separate factor analyses of the eleven subscales revealed three broadband factors: Classroom Management Problem, Self-Reliant Learner, and Seeks Teacher Approval. (Author)

A principal axis factor analysis of 58 occupational and nonoccupational scales of Form T of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) was performed using data of 1068 males representing a wide range of age and socioeconomic status groups. Both occupational groupings and personality correlates showed substantial agreement with Holland's (1966)…

Intercorrelations among primary personality traits of the Clinical Analysis Questionnaire were factor analyzed with 925 normal adults and 950 clinical cases. When separate analyses were carried out for men and women, 10 second-order factors were clearly replicated across the two data sets. (Author)

All pairs of Rorschach inkblots were scaled for perceived similarity by one normal and two psychopathological samples. The resulting data were analyzed using Carroll and Chang's INDSCAL model, which resulted in a good fit in two dimensions. These were interpreted as a dimension of color and one of form ("twoness").

Holland hypothesized that personality pattern consistency is related to vocational satisfaction, stability, and success. The viability of this key construct in Holland's theory of careers is examined in light of the expected relationship between level of consistency and frequency of occurrence of 2-letter Holland personality codes. Results are…
