“…There has recently been much discussion of procedures for combining and even scaling behaviors. These procedures have been applied to reports of actual or intended behavior as well as to occurrences of behaviors (Bentler, 1968a(Bentler, , 1968bFishbein, 1973;Hamersma, Paige, & Jordan, 1973;Ostrom, 1969;Triandis, 1964). Such methods have been used in the study of political activity (e.g., see Kerpelman & Weiner as cited in Kerpelman, 1972, pp.…”

“…For example, Guttman and Schlesinger (1967) constructed distractors for ability and achievement items from facet designs. Hamersma, Paige, and Jordan (1973) reported facet designs for the construction of attitude scales. Butt and Fiske (1968) compared dominance scales constructed from a facet design with dominance scales developed using other strategies.…”

Linear models are described for the situation wherein a measurement instrument is constructed for all elements of the Cartesian product of several facets when the elements of each facet are not ordered. The structure of the covariance matrix of the instrument is derived from the models. By using covariance structure analysis, the models can be tested, and estimates of the parameters can be obtained. Models for 20 tests were formulated and tested and were constructed from a design with a behavioral and a situational facet measuring social anxiety in children; for 15 tests a model proved to fit the data. It is concluded that covariance structure analysis is useful for the analysis and construction of measurement instruments.We thank David A. Kenny, Fred N. Kerlinger, Wirn J. van der Linden, Wim E.
