Parmer, Twinet – Journal of College Student Development, 1998
Examined the interaction of gender and education as influences on mate selection characteristics. Students (N=156) rated 22 characteristics for importance in selecting a partner. A factor analysis yielded three factor scores (social stratification, personality, physical variables) that were significant only for gender across the social and…

Belcher, Marcia J.; And Others – Measurement and Evaluation in Guidance, 1984
Compared the factor patterns underlying male (N=221) and female (N=420) self-reports on the Bem Sex Role Inventory. Results showed that when males and females were compared, only one of 10 factors reached the similarity criterion, suggesting that gender can be an important confounding variable in sex role research.

Loo, Robert – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
The structure of the Group Embedded-Figures Test was examined. Data from 173 females and 93 males were subjected to Johnson's complete-linkage cluster analysis and principal components analysis. The results showed the importance of simple form type, especially Form E, the cube, and of item position. (Author/RD)

Piotrowski, Chris; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
The factor structure of the Adult Norwicki-Strickland I-E Scale, sampling 174 college students, indicated differential factor dimensionality for males and females. The findings also support the contention that I-E is multidimensional in nature; however, these dimensions reflecting factorial validity have not been found to be consistently reliable…

Hong, Sehee; Malik, Mary L.; Lee, Min-Kyu – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2003
Used latent means analysis in the framework of structural equation modeling to explore the factor structure and gender differences associated with the Personal Style Inventory (PSI; C. Robins and others, 1994) with 508 Korean undergraduates. Results support the cross-cultural stability of the PSI factor structure. Women had higher scores than men…

Phifer, Sandra J.; Plake, Barbara S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
The results of this study of the factorial validity of the Bias in Attitudes Survey (BIAS) suggest the the BIAS in relation to other sex-role scales is measuring more complete and complex attitudes toward sex roles. Two factors represented both the traditional view of male/female roles and a nonsexist view. (Author/BW)

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Factor Structures of Anxiety Measures: A Multiple Group Comparison.
Kameoka, Velma A.; And Others – 1982
Confirmatory maximum likelihood estimation of measurement models was used to evaluate the construct generality of self-report measures of anxiety across male and female samples. These measures included Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale, and two forms of Endler, Hunt and Rosenstein's S-R Inventory of…

Koenigsberg, Ellen – 1982
The Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) is designed to measure masculinity and femininity independently. It is based on the dualistic, as opposed to the bipolar, nature of masculinity and femininity. The development of measures for sex role research has relied on empirical techniques; item selection has been based on respondents' stereotyped conceptions…

Kalaian, Hripsime A.; And Others – Mid-Western Educational Researcher, 1994
A 12-item Self-Confidence in Teaching Scale was completed by 1,176 students entering a teacher preparation program and 861 teacher candidates completing their final semester. For the total sample, gender subsamples, and "entry"/"exit" subsamples, principal axis factor analyses yielded only one factor with an eigenvalue greater…

Grandy, Jerilee – 1992
This study investigated the construct validity and population generalizability of the NTE Core Battery using two different data bases and several analytical designs. Part I of the study used data from the November 1982 administration of the Core Battery at the subscore level for 5,183 examinees. Part II used data from the October 1985…

Barnett, Mark A.; And Others – 1991
Sex-linked differences were examined with respect to: (1) Kansas State University undergraduates' recollection of single experiences that they considered most important in their moral development; and (2) undergraduates' perceptions of the moral lessons learned as a result of those experiences. Although the 517 (244 males and 273 females) subjects…

Edwards, Teresa A.; And Others – 1978
Factor analysis of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) and the Personality Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) was undertaken to study the independence of the masculine and feminine scales within each instrument. Both instruments were administered to undergraduate education majors. Analysis of primary first and second order factors of the BSRI indicated…

Bandalos, Deborah; Benson, Jeri – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1990
The Computer Anxiety Scale was tested for invariance over the grouping conditions of males/females and graduate/undergraduate status. Subjects included 187 undergraduates and 188 graduates; analyses were conducted on 136 males and 236 females. Results indicate that the construct of computer anxiety appears to be multidimensional with highly…

Sutarso, Toto; And Others – 1996
The effect of gender and grade point average (GPA) on emotional intelligence (EQ) was studied using the Emotional Intelligence Inventory. The inventory was completed by 138 college students, and data were analyzed using a multivariate factorial model with three factors of EQ as dependent variables (compassion, self-awareness, and attunement) and…

Bennett, Ellen B.; Novotny, Jenny A.; Green, Kathy E.; Kluever, Raymond C. – 1998
The Resiliency Scale (C. Jew, 1992) is a recently developed measure intended to assess an individual's level of three facets of resiliency (optimism, skill acquisition, and risk-taking). Separate exploratory factor analyses with three diverse groups have led to definition of subscales bearing some similarities. In this study, items comparable…
