This inventory measures sex guilt, hostility guilt, and morality-conscience guilt. Analyses indicate the appropriateness of a simple present-absent scoring system. Internal structure of each subscale is complex. Intercorrelations of scores are larger for males. (Author/BEF)

A multivariate post hoc procedure (the Roy-Bose procedure) which allows for the construction of an infinite number of confidence intervals or probability statements concerning the p variables, all of which hold at a 100(1-a) percent level of confidence, is demonstrated and compared to other procedures.

Examined the dimensionality of the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale. Factors were identified and labeled as Mathematics Text Anxiety and Numerical Anxiety. Factor-derived scales were developed and correlated with five specific anxiety scales and an arithmetic test. (Author)

The rationale underlying the construction of the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI), and the psychometric properties of the resulting instrument are examined in two studies. Subjects were graduate students of education. (Author/MP)

Describes study to determine if the Endeavor Instructional Rating Form (EIRF) and the Purdue Instructor and Course Appraisal: CAFETERIA System can be used in a course that employs an innovative instructional model. Results indicate that both instruments are effective for course and instructor evaluation. (Author/KC)

Hierarchical cluster analysis is shown to be an effective method for forming scales from sets of items. Comparisons with factor analytic techniques suggest that hierarchical analysis is superior in some respects for scale construction. (Author/JKS)

Finds that one factor of the "Preschool Attainment Record" (PAR) accounts for 69 percent of the variance, indicating the need for standardization of the PAR. (RL)

Factor scale scores are sometimes used as weights to create composite variables representing the variables included in a factor analysis. If these composite variables are then used to predict some dependent variable, serious theoretical and methodological problems arise. This paper explores these problems and suggests strategies for circumventing…

Variables used in applicant selection into the British Civil Service were analyzed for a sample using varimax factor analysis, multidimensional scaling and multiple regression. Results indicated that four dimensions or factors of applicant selection were consistent across a variety of settings and analyses. (JKS)

A battery of 28 individually administered tests, comprised of measures derived from the work of Piaget, of simple and complex learning, of language, short-term memory, long-term memory and intelligence were given to 210 children aged 5 to 6 during their first year of schooling. (Editor)

Scores from the Child Behavior Checklist and the Client Development Evaluation Report for 67 children and adolescents with mental retardation were examined to evaluate the factorial validity of the instruments. Results found that both instruments were successful in measuring maladaptive behaviors and both yielded two-dimensional representations of…

Examined a parent inventory measure of attachment for young children, based on observed child reunion behaviors. Factor analysis of maternal inventory responses for low income 5-year-olds yielded six factors. Sixteen of the 20 behaviors could be classified into previously established attachment categories. Discussed advantages of measure in…

Relationships among S. Minuchin's structural family model, adolescent separation-individuation, and identity development were studied with 164 female undergraduates. Factor analysis of results from measures of ego identity support Minuchin's model and provide a framework for understanding individuation in the adolescent female. (SLD)
