Second-Order Factor Structure of Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire

Using a large sample of 3000 normal men and women ( M age = 26 yr.), the primary factor scores on Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire were subjected to factor analysis. The purposes of this investigation were (1) to provide a precise definition of 16 PF second-order factor structure, (2) to shed additional light on the nature of two second-order factors that have been previously identified but described as “unstable” and “poorly reproduced,” and (3) to determine the degree of factorial similarity between matrices of men and women. The resulting solutions were substantially congruent with previous studies and showed high similarity between men and women, but no support was provided for the two additional second-order factors.

The second-order factor structure of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF) was validated on a sample of 940 patients hospitalized for coronary heart disease. The purpose of this investigation was the evaluation of second-order factor structure, already confirmed for normal subjects, of a selected pathological population. With factor analyses, oblique promax rotation, five second-order factors were identified, namely, Anxiety, Extraversion, Pathemia, Control, and an unidentified factor. These results were compared with those of Cattell's and Krug's studies. As a high congruence coefficient was shown, a good replication of Cattell's originally published second-order factors was achieved.

Factor Estimation

The second-order factors structure of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) was cross-validated on a large sample ( N = 17,381) of normal males and females. Subjects were sampled across a broad range of ages, socioeconomic levels, education, geographic location, and ethnicity. The purposes of this investigation were (1) to provide a precise definition of 16PF second-order factor structure, (2) to shed additional light on the nature of two second-order factors that have been previously identified but described as “unstable” and “poorly reproduced,” and (3) to determine the extent to which common factor estimation formulas for men and women would prove satisfactory for applied work. The resulting solutions were congruent with previous studies and showed a high degree of simple structure. Support was provided for one, but not both, of the two additional second-order factors. Results also supported the use of simplified estimation formulas for applied use.

Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ; Raedeke y Smith, 2001) es un instrumento que mide el burnout específico en el deporte el cual se ha utilizado a nivel mundial. En México aún no se cuenta con un estudio que valide sus propiedades psicométricas, por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es validar el Cuestionario de Burnout Deportivo (ABQ) en el contexto mexicano, mediante el análisis de fiabilidad, validez factorial de segundo orden e invarianza factorial por género. Se evaluó a 2,612 deportistas con la versión al castellano (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested y Morales, 2011) del Cuestionario del Burnout Deportivo (ABQ; Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, Raedeke y Smith, 2001). Los resultados muestran fiabilidad; se confirma una estructura factorial de segundo orden y las cargas factoriales e interceptos se consideran invariantes entre hombres y mujeres. Se concluye que el ABQ es instrumento apropiado para las investigaciones e intervenciones en el deporte del contexto mexicano. Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ, Raedeke and Smith, 2001) is an instrument that measures burnout in sport, widely spread and used worldwide. In Mexico there is still no study to validate its psychometric properties. Therefore, the objective of this study is to validate Cuestionario de Burnout Deportivo, evaluating reliability, factorial validity and factorial invariance by gender. We evaluated 2612 athletes with spanish version (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested and Morales, 2011) of Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). The results show satisfactory levels of reliability, a second-order factor structure is confirmed and factor charges and intercepts are considered invariant between men and women. It is concluded that ABQ is an appropriate instrument for research and interventions in sport of Mexican context.

No México ainda não tem um estudo para validar as suas propriedades psicométricas, por conseguinte, o objectivo deste estudo consiste em validar o Questionário de neutralização Deportivo (ABQ) no contexto mexicano, avaliar a fiabilidade, validade fatorial de segunda ordem e a invariância fatorial por gênero. Foram avaliadas; 2612 atletas para a versão castelhana (Balaguer, Castillo, Duda, Quested e Morales, 2011) Burnout Questionário Deportivo (ABQ, Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, Raedeke e Smith de 2001). Os resultados mostram níveis satisfatórios de confiabilidade. A estrutura fatorial, cargas fatoriais e interceptos são considerados invariantes entre homens e mulheres. ABQ conclui-se que o instrumento adequado para pesquisas e intervenções no esporte do contexto mexicano.

Women biologists and chemists listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who of American Women ( N:146) were studied with the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF). As a group, women scientists were found to be more serious, radical, confident, dominant, intelligent, and adventurous than women in the general population, and less sociable, group-dependent, and sensitive. Personality profiles on the 16 PF of men and women scientists showed strong similarity ( p < .01).

The factor structure of the Research Training Environment Scale-Revised was examined in a sample of 270 graduate students in counseling psychology. This confirmatory factor analysis assessed the fit of a nine-factor model corresponding to the respective subscales on the measure, as well as the fit of a second-order factor structure suggested by an exploratory factor analysis of data. The second-order factor structure fit very well when conducted on manifest (i.e., observed) subscale total scores; the results were more ambiguous when first-order latent factors were included in the factor structure. The analyses suggested that an instructional dimension and an interpersonal dimension are global factors of the research training environment.
