Selecting and applying appropriate research techniques, analysing data using information and communication technologies, transferring the obtained results of the analysis into tables and interpreting them are the performance indicators evaluated by the Ministry of National Education under teacher competencies. At the beginning of the courses that…

The factor structures of the College Student Questionnaire were investigated for three large samples of freshmen. The results demonstrated the variety of information contained in these instruments and questioned the choice of some items used in the suggested scales. (Author)

The factor structure of 109 Occupational Reinforcer Patterns approximating the distribution of the employed labor force of the United States is investigated. These work-reinforcer systems were found to be best represented by a three-factor solution: A Self Reinforcement factor, and Environmental/Organizational reinforcement factor, and a…

In the present study three short factor scales, Poised Extraversion, Symptom-Free Adjustment, and Independent Thought and Action, were derived from the CPI. (Author)

In order to study the signal-sight reading learning and the factor structure of intellectual abilities at preliterate moderate and severe levels of mental retardation (IQ 25-55), a test battery of items covering six hypothetical factors was constructed and administered to 80 preliterate mentally retarded subjects. The four factors extracted…

Separate analyses of five-, six- and seven-factor solutions for the first 168 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory item responses from a large unselected sample of public mental health patients revealed close correspondence with the six factors derived by Overall, Hunter, and Butcher.

Analyses of interscale relations in 235 college students for the Vocational Preference Inventory and Vocational Interest Inventory, based on interest models of Holland and Roe, respectively, suggest that the two-dimensional, circular configuration of occupational or personality types may be an oversimplification which impedes the understanding of…

A 60-item short form of the Mnnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory (MTAI) was compared to the present 150-item form to determine whether the same constructs were common to both sets of items. Five factors were found to be highly consistent for each group and with the results reported in the literature. (Author)

In the present study, the Vocational Preference Inventory scores for a group of black students and white students were factor analyzed and the black structure was rotated to correspond to the white structure. The correspondence between the variables for black and white students was found to be very similar. (Author)

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)
