In the present paper, the selection of scales and concepts and the format for administration are discussed in terms of an underlying linear model. (Editor)

In this article, new arguments and empirical evidence are presented justifying the use of standardized R- analysis (or equivalently Q- technique) in certain types of factor-analytic studies. (Editor)

This study reports the results of a factor analysis that prepared the way for the utilization of MSCA, which is designed to measure the developmental level of children aged 2 1/2 to 8 1/2 in a variety of areas. (Author/RK)

This factor analytic study of the cosmopolitan-local construct was designed to overcome criticism of earlier research on the construct's dimensionality. Based upon the data from this study, commitment to specialized role skills appears to take on three different role orientations rather than the single orientation suggested by the literature.…

Study asses the validity of the Inventory of Religious Activities and Interests (IRAI) for predicting for theological school students three sets of interest measures that reflect aspects of training in theological school. (Author)

Suggests a framework for analysis of a PPB success which can be used for subsequent cross-case comparisons. The framework consists of two major elements: (1) a typology of success variants which is useful in determining degrees of success and (2) a set of causal variables, both technical and behavioral, which can be employed in determining what…

A test normally used as a predictor of adjustment in normals and of academic success in normals and delinquents was administered to 35 adolescents with emotional problems. (Author/KM)

Major finding was that neuroticism is unrelated to overall academic attainment for the high school sample. Although no global relationship was found, some interesting relationships were shown to exist between specific neurotic subvariables and specific achievement tests. (Author)

In the present article it is argued that the Least Squares Simplex Data Matrix Solution does not deal adequately with difficulty factors inasmuch as the theoretical foundation is insufficient. (Author/CB)

Authors conclude that, in the world of real data sample correlation matrices, Guttman's stronger lower bound is not of practical use in determining the effective number of common factors. (Authors/CB)

The longitudinal factor analysis" model, which uniquely resolves factors from two occasions of data representing the same persons measured on the same test battery, is shown to be derivable by application of canonical correlation procedures to factor scores. (Author)
