Stability and change in answers to multiple choice items and in Yes-No item-patterns obtained with measurements repeated two or three times are identified by CFA and illustrated by developmental analysis of an item from Gorham's Proverb Test.

Ethical Decisionmaking

Descriptor terms related to 37 articles dealing with the moral question of abortion and taken from a printed database specializing in Catholic applied ethics were scanned for clusters with respect to the Anglo-American or European origin of the articles. To identify types within the data Configural Frequency Analysis was used. Application indicated a dominant interest in the process of ethical decisionmaking in Anglo-American Catholic bioethics. The assumption that European Catholic bioethicists discuss the morality of abortion primarily in terms of an anthropological debate focused on the moral status of prenatal life could not be validated statistically.
