The psychometric adequacy of three sex role instruments was determined by performing a factor analysis on the items in the Bem Sex Role Inventory, the Personal Attributes Questionnaire, and Heilbrun's Masculinity and Feminity Subscales. Subjects were 400 college students who responded to 116 bipolar items from the three instruments. The eleven…

Thompson, Bruce – 1974
The Administrator Professional Leadership Scale (APLS) was developed to measure the professional leadership quality of a school principal, and to provide principals with anonymous feedback on teachers' perceptions of their leadership. Further refinement was carried out to increase its reliability; to discover categories of administrator behavior…

Orpet, R.E.; Meyers, C.E. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1966
The study of ability factors in young children has passed the stage of demonstrating that separate factors exist, the effort now being devoted to systematic identification of measurable abilities. This study was designed to confirm some of the tentative abilities demonstrated in other studies and to extend the exploration into memory processes and…

Wanous, Donna S. – 1978
The organization of nine selected cognitive abilities from Guilford's structure-of-intellect model (SI) was explored in a sample of Spanish-English bilingual students. One hundred and ninety-four seventh and eighth graders were assigned to take a battery of nine cognitive ability tests in Spanish or English. The nine tests measured convergent…

Ekstrom, Ruth B.; And Others – 1975
This report is part of a general study of Reference Measures for Cognitive and Noncognitive Factors. The main activity being reported is the development of "factor-referenced" or "marker" tests for several recently identified cognitive factors. A secondary activity involves the study of possible relationships to factors already…

Vasu, Ellen S.; Elmore, Patricia B. – 1975
The effects of the violation of the assumption of normality coupled with the condition of multicollinearity upon the outcome of testing the hypothesis Beta equals zero in the two-predictor regression equation is investigated. A monte carlo approach was utilized in which three differenct distributions were sampled for two sample sizes over…

Tobias, Sigmund; Hanlon, Robert E. – 1974
This study examined whether student attitude toward instructors was related to subsequent behavior such as the behavioral intention to take further courses with that instructor, and whether social desirability affected this relationship. Students completed instructor rating and social desirability scales. Principal components analysis and varimax…

Costello, Robert J.; Dunham, Jack L. – 1971
Traditionally, studies investigating the relationship between mental abilities tests and performance on learning tasks have attempted to establish a direct relationship between these two domains by use of factor analytic techniques. It is suggested that an alternative approach can be formulated in terms of an information processing analysis of…

Hall, Charles E. – 1971
A set of symbols is presented along with logical operators which represent the possible manipulations of the linear model. The use of these symbols and operators is to simplify the representation of analysis of variance models, correlation models and factor analysis models. (Author)

Wheatley, Grayson H. – 1972
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of perceptual focus and planar orientation of rods on conservation responses when parallel translations are utilized. The translations along the major axes of symmetry utilized two modes: (1) translation of one of two rods, and (2) simultaneous translation of two of three rods in opposite…

Taylor, Ronald L.; And Others – Diagnostique, 1985
Construct validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised using 189 Black, 184 Hispanic, and 187 White 6- to 11-year-olds was investigated. A two-factor solution yielded similar loadings corresponding to verbal comprehension and perceptual organization for all three groups. Three-factor solutions yielded similar loadings for…

Galotti, Kathleen M.; Kozberg, Steven F. – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1987
Sixty-eight undergraduates listed the factors they consider when choosing courses, majors, careers, friends, romantic partners, and lifelong partners. Subjects provided their own definitions of commitment in an unstructured essay. Subjects listed more factors, more distinct types of factors, and more original factors for interpersonal commitments…

Forsythe, George B.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
The Resident Evaluation Form (REF) was developed to assess resident physicians' clinical performance. This research sought to empirically evaluate the intuitively derived REF scales representing areas of clinical performance: interpersonal ability, cognitive ability, clinical skills, and professional attributes. Analysis yielded cognitive…

Bar-On, Ehud; Perlberg, Arye – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1985
Facet design and smallest space analysis were used to study teaching behaviors. From a questionnaire administered to 2,000 high school students, a set of 25 structuples were selected which repeatedly described teachers' instructional behavior. Results supported the usefulness of this approach. (GDC)

Cadwell, Joel; Jenkins, Jeffrey – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1985
Students were asked to rate several hypothetical instructor profiles, constructed by systematically manipulating information about the instructors' classroom behaviors. Factor analyses were performed where factors represented clusters of semantically equivalent items. Students imposed an implicit semantic organization on their ratings, apart from…
