Concerned with consequences of employing the INDSCAL model when one of its assumptions are known to be violated. Under study is the notion that all individuals perceive the object space dimensions to be independent. (RC)

Points of view analysis, as a way to deal with individual differences in multidimensional scaling, was largely supplanted by the weighted Euclidean model. It is argued that the approach deserves new attention, especially as a technique to analyze group differences. A streamlined and integrated process is proposed. (SLD)

Multidimensional scaling and unfloding procedures were employed to identify the dimensions underlying perceptions of political figures and to predict subjects' voting preferences. (Author)

Critical review of previous techniques for the measurement of an individual's self-concept (SC) is a necessary prelude to the development of more adequate methodologies. This paper focuses on recent methodological innovations in the study of the self, namely, those derived from cognitive social psychology. A view of the self as a cognitive…
