  • The structure of temperament and personality in Russian children

    John M Digman, Alexander G ShmelyovARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1996Cited by: 9

    Russian schoolchildren (N = 480) 8-10 years old were rated by their teachers on 60 scales drawn from 3 sources: the temperament literature, studies of child personality, and Russian educators. Analysis of 21 temperament scales produced 4 meaningful components: sociability, anger, impulsivity, and fear. Component scores formed from these scales were then analyzed in the context of the remaining scales, leading to a solution that demonstrated the u…

    John M Digman, Naomi K Takemoto-ChockARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research1981

    Psychometric studies of the organization of the "natural language of personality" have typically employed rating scales as measurement medium and factor analysis as statistical technique. The results of such investigations over the past 30 years have varied greatly, both with respect to number of factors and with respect to the constructs generated. Re-analysis of the correlations of six studies, including the classical work of Cattell, indicated…

  • The Procrustes Class of Factor-Analytic Transformations

    John M DigmanARTICLEMultivariate Behavioral Research1967

    The Procrustes method of deriving a reference vector structure from a principal-axes factor matrix is shown to be a class of solutions all of which obtain a transformation matrix which "rotates" the principal-axes matrix as close as possible to some desired matrix H. Various factor transformation methods, such as Promax, eigenvector rotation, as well as the classical Procrustes, differ chiefly in their rationale and method of generating H
