Toward a Conception of Impulsivity: Components across the Behavioral and Self-Report Domains.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gerbing, David W.; And Others – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987
The components underlying a variety of self-report measures of impulsivity were investigated, as well as the components underlying four behavioral measures involving reaction time, time estimation, and time production. Three broad factors were identified: carefree, spontaneous, and not persistent. Implications for measurement were discussed.…

The Age Comparative Construct Validity of Speeded Cognitive Factors.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
White, Nancy; Cunningham, Walter R. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987
Speeded cognitive processing tasks involving card sorting and reaction time were administered to 141 young adults aged 18 to 33 and to 142 elderly adults aged 58 to 73. Confirmatory factor analysis was unsuccessful, but independent analyses revealed different factors for the two age groups. (Author/GDC)

The Multidimensionality of the Rotter I-E Scale and Its Higher-Order Structure: An Application of Confirmatory Factor Analysis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Marsh, Herbert W.; Richards, Gary E. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1987
The factorial structure of the Rotter Internal-External (IE) scale was examined. While there was strong evidence against the unidimensionality of the Rotter scale, the findings suggested that the first-order factors do define a single higher-order construct that may represent the generalized IE construct.
