First-Order and Higher-Order Semantic and Figural Factors in Structure-Of-Intellect Divergent Production Measures
This investigation consists of several reanalyses of two correlation matrices comprising 21 structure-of-intellect (SOI) divergent production tests taken from the 1963 Report No. 29 of the University of Southern California Aptitudes Research Project. Application of updated exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic methodologies led to the conclusion that the results obtained could not be replicated. It appeared from the confirmatory factor ana…
First-Order and Higher-Order Creative Ability Factors in Structure-of-Intellect Measures Administered to Sixth-Grade Children
This investigation is one in a series of re-analyses of those correlation matrixes consisting of structure-of-intellect (SOI) creativity tests devised by the late J. P. Guilford and his associates. Application of more recent exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic methodologies in comparison with those employed by Guilford and his associates provides a means for obtaining more objective, parsimonious, and possibly insightful interpretations …
Higher-Order Factors in Structure-of-Intellect (SOI) Aptitude Tests Hypothesized to Portray Constructs of Military Leadership
Taken from a 1959 research report by Marks, Guilford, and Merrifield, a correlation matrix of 21 structure-of-intellect (SOI) tests intended to reflect aptitudes required in military leadership was re-analyzed through use of relatively objective exploratory factor analytic procedures (varimax and promax solutions for orthogonal and oblique structures, respectively) and through employment of confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analyses. For the…
The Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses of the Latent Structure of the Study Attitudes and Methods Survey for a Sample of 176 Eighth-Grade Students
The data obtained from the sample of 176 eighth-grade students on the SAMS (Short Form) which was subjected to an obliquely rotated (promax) factor solution produced at least four meaningful dimensions of study attitudes and methods. Further, the results from the confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis yielded a six-factor oblique solution as providing the closest degree-of-fit
The Dimensionality of a Modified Form of the Maslach Burnout Inventory for University Students in a Teacher-Training Program
For a sample of 147 fifth-year students enrolled in a teacher training program at the elementary school level, both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses involving orthogonal and oblique solutions were carried out on a correlation matrix of scores on 22 items from a self-report inventory of teacher burnout that was adapted with permission from the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The modifications incorporated within the new instrument, wh…
An Investigation of the Higher-Order Symbolic Factors of Cognition and Convergent Production within the Structure of Intellect Model
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the existence of higher-order factors within the cognition and convergent production operations and the products dimensions of the structure-of-intellect model (Guilford, 1967, 1977, 1980). From the original data presented by Guilford, Merrifield, Christensen, and Frick (1960) on a sample of 240 Aviation Officer Candidates and Naval Air Cadets, an intercorrelation matrix of the 24 tests designed…
A Comparison of the Multitrait-Multimethod and Factor Analytic Methods in the Determination of the Discriminant Validity of Three Tests of Creativity
Creativity measurement has been a creative endeavor for researchers and practitioners. A salient characteristic of creativity measurements is their diversity which is indicative of the complexity of the construct and of the multitude of settings under which it is assessed. Creativity is often subjectively assessed; hence judges are expected to be able to distinguish creativity from other constructs such as intelligence, achievement, and originali…
The Convergence of the Results of Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis in the Latent Structure of a Standardized Affective Measure
For a sample of 271 tenthand eleventh-grade students from middle-class families residing in a suburban setting, both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out on a correlation matrix of 90 items and on a correlation matrix of 18 subtests, each consisting of five items. Both correlation matrixes were derived from an affective measure comprising six relatively homogeneous factor scales, each with 15 items. A comparison of the va…
The Comparability of the Factorial Validity of the Study Attitudes and Methods Survey in a High School Sample and in a University Sample
For each of two samples of high school and university students, both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of a correlation matrix of 18 subtests (three subtests for each of six factor scales of the Study Attitudes and Methods Survey [SAMS]) were completed. Irrespective of whether an exploratory or confirmatory factor analytic approach was used, six hypothesized factors were clearly defined in an oblique as well as an orthogonal structure.…
A Comparison of the Orthogonal and the Oblique Factor Structures of Correlation Matrixes of Individual Items and of Composites of Items (Subtests) Derived from a Standardized Affective Measure
For a 90-item standardized affective measure containing six factor scales (with 15 items per scale) that in its original form of 150 items (25 items per subscale) had undergone three item-analysis studies (with two representing cross-validation efforts) to achieve a relatively higher degree of homogeneity than that in the orginal scales, the major purpose of this investigation was to compare both an orthogonally and obliquely rotated factor struc…
