Correcting Correlations of Personality Scales for Spurious Effects of Shared Items.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hsu, Louis M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1992
D.V. Budescu and J.L. Rogers (1981) proposed a method of adjusting correlations of scales to eliminate spurious components resulting from the overlapping of scales. Three reliability correction formulas are derived in this article that are based on more tenable assumptions. (SLD)

On Using Analysis of Covariance in Repeated Measures Designs.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Delaney, Harold D.; Maxwell, Scott E. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1981
The use of analysis of covariance in conjunction with the multivariate approach to analyzing repeated measures designs is considered for designs involving between- and within-subject factors, one dependent variable, and one observation per subject on the covariate. (Author/RL)

Note on the Relation between the Power of a Significance Test and the Reliability of the Measuring Instrument.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Levin, Joseph – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1986
The relation between the power of a significance test in a block design with correlated measurements and the reliability of the measuring instrument is analyzed in terms of the components of variance entering the reliability coefficient and the noncentrality parameter. (Author/LMO)

A Confirmatory Approach to Calibrating Congeneric Measures.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Werts, C. E.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1980
This paper demonstrates how the problem of calibrating measures can be formulated in terms of confirmatory factor analysis. The relationships between traditional approaches and a confirmatory factor approach are specified. (Author/CTM)

Are Semantic Response Scales Equivalent?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ofir, Chezy; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987
Three frequently used response formats are compared via analysis of covariance structures. The cumulative results based on four data sets provided evidence inconsistent with previous research suggesting that these formats are interchangeable. The semantic-differential format is most preferred while in most cases the Stapel format is least…

Agreement of Personality Profiles across Observers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCrae, Robert R. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1993
To assess cross-observer agreement on personality profiles, an Index of Profile Agreement and an associated coefficient are proposed that take into account both the difference between the ratings and the extremes of their mean. Data from the Revised NEO Personality Inventory for 250 peer ratings/self-reports and 68 spouse ratings/self-reports…

Testing Behavioral Consistency and Coherence with the Situation-Response Measure of Achievement Motivation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Grote, Gudela F.; James, Lawrence R. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1991
Validity evidence for a new instrument, the Situation-Response Measure of Achievement Motivation for analyzing cross-situational consistency of achievement-related behavior, is presented in a study of 246 college students. Exploratory factor analysis indicates the presence of two factors, striving and apprehensiveness. (SLD)
