Helmes, Edward – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1989
Objective criteria for evaluating the Eysenck Personality Inventory's internal structure are discussed. An approach based on targeted rotations and the test's scoring key is proposed as a means of providing common criteria. Data from earlier structure and test results for 195 undergraduates support the utility of 3 criteria developed. (SLD)

Marsh, Herbert W. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1989
This analysis of 12,266 responses to the 3 Self-Description Questionnaires (which measure dimensions of self-concept in preadolescence) examined age and sex effects during preadolescence and early adulthood and alternative operationalizations of the proposition that self-concept becomes more differentiated with age. Well-defined factor structures…

Olivarez, Arturo, Jr.; Tallent-Runnels, Mary K. – Journal of Experimental Education, 1994
The latent composition of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory for High School (LASSI-HS) was studied through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of results from 367 ninth-grade students. Evidence supports a three-factor model. Interrelationships among the constructs are examined, and use of the instrument is discussed. (SLD)

Cooper, M. Lynne – Psychological Assessment, 1994
Confirmatory factor analysis of data from a representative household sample of 1,243 black adolescents and white adolescents shows that the hypothesized model of drinking motives of Cox and Klinger (1988) provides an excellent fit to the data, with a four-factor pattern that is invariant across gender, race, and age.

Kenny, David A.; Zautra, Alex – Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1995
Describes a new approach for analyzing an individual's responses made at multiple times. Proposes that three sources of variance determine a person's current standing on a variable: trait (term does not change), state (term changes), and error (random term). Shows how structural equation modeling can be used and presents an extended example. (RJM)

Byrne, Barbara M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1994
Findings are reported for a cross-validated study of factorial validity and invariance of the Maslach Burnout Inventory across gender for elementary school teachers (742 males and 801 females) and secondary school teachers (659 males and 721 females). The study illustrates structural modeling methodology and use of multiple model-fitting criteria.…

Halberstadt, Amy G.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1995
The Self-Expressiveness in the Family Questionnaire is introduced as a measure of emotional expressiveness. Four studies involving 499 mothers and 362 fathers provided evidence of good convergent, discriminant, and construct validity for the instrument and a preliminary short form. Factor analyses support a two-factor solution across the studies.…

Windle, Michael; Miller-Tutzauer, Carol – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1992
Confirmatory, simultaneous group factor analysis supported three-factor structure of Perceived Social Support-Family measure for adolescents (n=975). Factors of Support Received, Support Provided, and Family Intimacy were significantly correlated with adolescent ratings of maternal and paternal support and inversely correlated with primary…

Walkey, Frank H.; Green, Dianne E. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
Six sets of data from previous studies are used to investigate the factor structure of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. In all 6 sets, the 22 inventory items divided between 2 clearly replicable factors. The larger, the Core of Burnout Factor, divides in turn into two equally replicable factors. (SLD)

Strauman, Timothy J.; Wetzler, Scott – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1992
Scale-level factor analyses are reported for 2 self-report measures of psychopathology, the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90) and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), using 130 psychiatric inpatients and outpatients. Used separately, the measures offer limited interpretability of scale profiles. Their combined use permits differentiation…

Barton, Richard M.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1994
The factorial validity and reliability of the newly developed Teacher Effectiveness Survey was examined in a sample of 390 principals. Results indicate that the instrument consists of three subscales (Instruction, Leadership, and Interpersonal/Professional), each measuring a different facet of a teacher's abilities. (SLD)

Ludlow, Larry H.; Guida, Frank V. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1991
Factor analysis of scores on the 30-item Test Anxiety Scale for Children (TASC) of 455 seventh and eighth graders supports previous findings of a 4-factor structure. Item response theory analysis suggests that the TASC is a continuum defining an academic anxiety construct of clusters of commonly related items. (SLD)

Ivison, David – Psychological Test Bulletin, 1990
Research on the standardization, reliability, validity, factor structure, and subtests of the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS) (1945) and its revised version (1987) is reviewed. Much research relating to the WMS appears to be relevant to the revised version. Use of the instrument in Australia is discussed. (SLD)

Bolin, Brien L.; Dodder, Richard A. – Educational Research Quarterly, 1992
The Affect Balance Scale (ABS) was administered to 380 undergraduate students. Factor analysis resulted in five negatively phrased items loading with the same signs as five positively phrased items. These results, contrary to previous results with older subjects, suggest that the ABS may not be appropriate for use across age groups. (Author/SLD)

Chen, Chin-Yi; Michael, William B. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1993
Empirical validation of the first-order and higher-order factor structures of the structure-of-intellect (SOI) model was provided by reanalysis of a database of 39 measures administered to 178 Coast Guard Cadets. Results suggest that SOI could be reconceptualized as a pyramid-like hierarchical theory of intelligence. (SLD)
