The Multidimensionality of the Rotter I-E Scale and Its Higher-Order Structure: An Application of Confirmatory Factor Analysis.
Marsh, Herbert W.; Richards, Gary E.
Multivariate Behavioral Research, v22 n1 p39-69 Jan 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.
