Several alternative solutions are offered to problem posed in AA 513 150. (MB)

The Science Support Scale is not an appropriate instrument for measuring attitudinal changes in high school biology students. Factor analysis indicates that student interpretation of the items does not correspond to the theoretical subtest structure of the scale. (AL)

Results supported the hypothesis that increasing numbers of coactors results in increasing impairment of motor performance. (Authors)

The revised ITPA promises to have continued wide application. It successfully measures general linguistic ability and intelligence, and to a limited extent it successfully measures aspects of cognitive ability. However, it fails to measure many of the cognitive domains that it was designed to measure. (Author)

Purpose of the investigation was to identify the factorial dimensions of 25 characteristics on a scale for rating research articles. (Authors)

Results were quite similar for each of the factor analytic procedures, an indication of a strong underlying structure of the WPPSI tests. Regardless of the factor analytic technique used, two factors appeared--one clearly verbal and the other clearly performance--at each of the three age levels. (Authors)

A behavior problem checklist was administered to the teachers of six to eight year old children. Eight factors were identified as Hyperactivity, Disciplinary Problems, Sluggishness, Paranoiac Tendencies, Social Withdrawal, Acting Out, Speech Problems; and Antisocial Tendencies. Three second order factors were identified as Neutroticism,…

A technique of multidimensional scaling was applied to student perceptions of similarities in difficulty of twenty mechanics concepts presented in random pairwise combinations. Two distinct dimensions, one relating to motion and the other to the vector nature of some of the concepts, appeared in three separate groups, when either four or five…

Conflicting findings in two earlier studies in the area of learning style effects are studied. (DG)

Race appears to be the predominant criterion for evaluating others, as opposed to religion and nationality. Negro and oriental subjects, as compared with Caucasian subjects, respond differently to items used in factor analysis. (CK)
