This study examined ethnic-racial differences in perceptions of meeting familial expectations and their relation to depressive s…
Factor Structure and Reliability of the Advantages of Children Scale with Latino and Caucasian Male Emerging Adults
Based on the value of children theory, the purpose of this study was to develop and establish the factor structure and internal consistency reliability of the Advantages of Children Scale (ACS), a self-report measure of a modification of Hoffman and Hoffman’s value scheme of the psychological needs children meet for their parents. Data were collected from 685 emerging adult men identifying as Latino or Caucasian who were not parents. Results of t…
Factor structure and validity of the Affective Style Questionnaire
Previous studies in different countries have shown variability in the factor structures of the Affective Style Questionnaire, possibly due to differences in cultures, translation, or statistical approaches.

A four-factor structure was found instead of the three-factor structure found in the original Affective Style Questionnai…
