“…Item complexity analysis was used to assess the quality of each of the published CORE‐OM domain scores. The full details of the procedures have been reported elsewhere (Barrett, Kline, Paltiel, & Eysenck, 1996). Essentially the analyses identified three parameters: the internal reliability of scales, the item complexity (i.e.…”

The CORE-OM has a complex factor structure and may be best scored as 2 scales for risk and psychological distress. The distinct measurement of psychological problems and functioning is problematic, partly because many patients receiving out-patient psychological therapies and counselling services function relatively well in comparison with patients receiving general psychiatric services. In addition, a clear distinction between self-report scales for these variables is overshadowed by their common variance with a general factor for psychological distress. An alternative strategy for operationalizing this distinction is proposed.

“…In the workplace where complex decisions regarding employees need to be made, the usefulness of a comprehensive description of personality has been indicated (Barrett et al, 1996;Cattell et al, 1992;Paunonen & Ashton, 2001). In fact, one of the best-known Big Five instruments, the NEO-PI-R measures several facets of each of its five main factors .…”

The widespread acceptance of the Big Five model implies that personality consists of relatively independent dimensions that form a taxonomy whereby individual differences may be explained. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the subscales of an established personality inventory that measures narrow traits of personality, the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), could be reduced meaningfully to fit a broad factor model within a South African context. The OPQ 5.2 concept model was administered to 453 job applicants in the telecommunications sector. An exploratory factor analysis yielded a six-factor structure that included five factors corresponding to the Big Five model of personality. The sixth factor, labeled Interpersonal Relationship Harmony, resembled the description of the Chinese tradition factor, extracted in a non-Western society.<p> <strong>Opsomming</strong> <br>Die wye aanvaarding van die Groot-Vyfmodel impliseer dat persoonlikheid uit relatief onafhanklike dimensies bestaan wat ’n taksonomie vorm waarmee individuele verskille verklaar kan word. Die doel van die ondersoek was om vas te stel of die subskale van ’n gevestigde persoonlikheidsvraelys wat gedetailleerde persoonlikheidstrekke meet, die Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ), op sinvolle wyse gereduseer kon word tot ’n breë faktormodel in ’n Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. Die OPQ 5.2 konsepmodel is toegepas op 453 werkapplikante in die telekommunikasiesektor. ’n Ondersoekende faktorontleding het ’n sesfaktorstruktuur gelewer, insluitende vyf faktore wat met die Groot Vyf persoonlikheidsmodel ooreenstem. Die sesde faktor wat as Interpersoonlike Verhoudingsharmonie benoem is, toon ooreenstemming met die Chinese tradisiefaktor wat in ’n nie-Westerse samelewing onttrek is

Computing measures of simplicity of fit for loadings in factor-analytically derived scales

520How does one evaluate "goodness" of structure in exploratory factor analysis when the test item writer strives for a very simple structure in the sense described below? Thurstone (1947) provided a number of general criteria for simple structure of loadings, but item writers often wish to construct "item-pure" tests that exhibit what is sometimes called simple cluster structure. In such cases, the ideal factor-loading matrix 1 takes the following form (after rows and columns of loadings are appropriately arranged):
