“…Tests to see whether the measurement scales were uni-dimensional were also undertaken. Further, items in each scale were excluded based on low communality (<0.5 as per Burt and Banks 1947) and/or multi-factorial loadings. Alphas range from 0.66 to 0.93 and were considered acceptable for analysis.…”

To develop appropriate theories of business relationship management we need to understand what types of relations exist and the differing types of problems they pose for the firms involved. We report the results of research to develop an empirically based taxonomy of buyer-seller business relations from data that include both buyer and seller firm perspectives. Cluster analysis is used to identify five types of relations based on measures of relationship atmosphere that share similarities and some important differences with previous typologies. A comparison of typologies shows that some obscure and confound relationship types by forcing them into predefined groups, that the same type of relationship atmosphere is compatible with more than one pattern of behavior and that the estimated correlations among relationship variables are sensitive to the mix of relations included in the sample. Future research that can build on this work, the challenges that this kind of research presents and the methodologies to help address them are then discussed.

“…Four factors were rotated analytically to the normalized varimax criterion. For each factor, the significance of individual factor loadings was tested by the method proposed by Burt and Banks (1947).…”

Thirty‐two victims of rape and 23 victims of attempted rape took the California Psychological Inventory, the Cornell Medical Index, and filled out an interview form describing their feelings during the assault. All participants were volunteers and were tested anywhere from days to years after the assault had occurred. A number of significant differences between the scores of the two groups emerged. These are discussed in terms of possible personality differences between rape victims and rape resisters, and in terms of cultural forces shaping the reaction patterns of women.

“…The statistical significance of the successive centroid factors was investigated by the formula of Burt and Banks (1947) for the standard error of a factor loading. Adopting Vernon's suggestion (1950,130) that a factor be accepted as statistically significant if about half its loadings exceed twice their standard errors we see that for each analysis Factors 11, 111 and IV may be accepted as significant.…”

SUMMARY.Objective tests of attainment in physics, chemistry, and biology were administered to over three-hundred grammar-school pupils, together with a battery of verbal, number and spatial tests. A factorial analysis yielded the following results :(1) The tests of physics, chemistry, and biology formed a group factor over and above a general factor.(2) Verbal, spatial and numerical group factors were also found.(3) Attainment in science, as measured by the objective tests, is dependent upon (a) the general factor, and (b) the scientific group factor. (4) In addition, attainment in physics (though not in chemistry and biology) depends to some extent on the spatial factor.(5) Again, for girls, attainment in biology depends to some extent on the verbal factor.(6) Attainment in all three branches of school science is independent of the number factor. Numerical ability (as measured by speeded tests of the basic arithmetical processes) has no relation to attainment in school science.(7) The factorial pattern underlying scientific attainment is very similar for boys and girls.
