Testing The Harris-Lingoes Subscales By Gender Using Confirmatory And Exploratory Factor Analysis., Nicole Denise. Gervais
Testing The Harris-Lingoes Subscales By Gender Using Confirmatory And Exploratory Factor Analysis., Nicole Denise. Gervais
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Harris-Lingoes subscales of the MMPI-2 (Butcher, Dahlstrom, Graham, Tellegen, & Kaemmer, 1989) give more precise breakdowns of symptoms in the Depression, Hysteria, Psychopathic Deviate, Paranoia, Schizophrenia, and Hypomania clinical scales. These rationally derived subscales were tested using confirmatory factor analyses. The analyses indicated misspecification of the models, supporting the decision to explore the parent scales through the use of exploratory factor analysis. The exploratory factor analyses uncovered subscales that may be of clinical utility. Differences in factor structure based upon gender were also found in the analyses. The implications of these findings are discussed.Dept. of Psychology. Paper copy at …
Assessing Interpersonal Dominance And Affiliation On The Thematic Apperception Test: The Development And Validation Of Two Orthogonal Scales., Kerry Allyson. Collins
Assessing Interpersonal Dominance And Affiliation On The Thematic Apperception Test: The Development And Validation Of Two Orthogonal Scales., Kerry Allyson. Collins
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Interpersonal Circumplex Model (ICM; Freedman et al., 1951; Leary, 1957), a circular representation of interpersonal behaviour, identifies the components of interpersonal dominance and affiliation that underlie social interactions. The present study addresses the deficiency of psychometric scales to measure interpersonal constructs on the TAT by developing the Interpersonal Dominance and Affiliation TAT Scales. Twenty-five undergraduate students rated 100 sample TAT stories for the level of interpersonal dominance and affiliation depicted. Reliability analyses of these ratings were then utilized to empirically establish anchor points for the interpersonal TAT scales. Preliminary validity of the scales was further evaluated in a sample …
The Underlining Test: An Exploration Of Its Construct Dimensions In A Clinic-Referred Sample., Brent Albert. Hayman-Abello
The Underlining Test: An Exploration Of Its Construct Dimensions In A Clinic-Referred Sample., Brent Albert. Hayman-Abello
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The present study examined the number and nature of factors underlying performance on The Underlining Test (UT), a set of 14 speeded cancellation tasks (subtests) containing letters, digits or shapes, separately or in strings. Using data from a large (n = 844) heterogeneous sample of clinic-referred children, several hypothesized models containing one to four latent constructs were examined using confirmatory factor analysis. A four-factor model had the best fit to the data, and based on the nature of the subtests associated with each construct they were labeled Individual Item Search, Reading-Related, Sequencing, and Complex Visual Analysis. Composite scores were calculated …
