Personal Attributes Questionnaire

A factor analysis of items in the Bern Sex-role Inventory, the Personal Attributes Questionnaire, and Heilbrun's Masculinity and Femininity scales yielded 11 factors. College students ( n = 400) at a large midwestern university completed the items from the three instruments. The solution that emerged suggests that sex roles are multidimensional and that masculinity may be more factorially complex.

A factor analysis of items in the Rathus Assertiveness Schedule and the Personal Report of Communication Apprehension yielded six factors. College students ( n = 215) at a large midwestern university completed the two scales. The findings support the hypothesis that assertiveness is related to apprehension about communication.

Factor Analytic Study

An abbreviated version of the Marital Communication Inventory was administered to a university sample of 54 married couples in an earlier study. To assess the dimensionality of the scale, the data were analyzed through a common factor analysis with varimax rotation. Results indicate that the inventory does not appear to be unidimensional as has been commonly assumed, but instead appears to be heavily loaded with an element of marital adjustment or conventionality rather than being solely a measure of marital communication. The consequences for previous research and the implications for the future assessment of marital communication by researchers and clinicians are discussed. Guidelines for further investigation of the validity of the inventory are proposed.

Factor Analytic Study

An extended pool of religious motives was developed by asking a heterogeneous group of 302 volunteers to report three motives for their religious activity. Each of the 905 motives, compared to prior motivational lists, gave a list of 103 non-overlapping religious motives. Then homogeneous motivational dimensions through a factor analysis of the 103 motives were identified by asking 220 individuals to rate the importance of each motive in their own religious activity. Eleven primary factors were extracted.

Three Factor

The evangelical community has seen a recent proliferation of spiritual gifts inventories. These inventories resemble personality measures developed by psychologists and are designed to help individuals identify their spiritual gifts. This study examines the psychometric properties of one such inventory designed to measure 14 spiritual gifts. Thirty-one male and 41 female evangelical college-aged students were administered the Hocking (1975) Spiritual Gifts Inventory. In general, the subscales (i.e., spiritual gifts) showed poor to moderate reliabilities. Interscale factor analysis using an oblique rotation produced a three-factor solution and does not support the ability of this inventory to measure 14 unique gifts. The hermeneutical implications of the three-factor solution and the ethical concerns in using inventories that have not been validated but appear “scientific” are discussed.
