Seeking Markers for Temperament Factors among Positive and Negative Poles of Temperament Scales.
John W. French, Diran Dermen · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1974
This report covers part of a project designed to develop and to make available to research workers markers for some of the temperament factors that have been established in the factor-analytic literature. An earlier report describes 28 such factors and defines several divisions of each. Each subfactor is described as a positive pole versus a negative pole. It was hypothesized that scales for these subfactors, when placed in a factor analysis, would have salient loadings. The present report covers two factor analyses in which some of the subfactors were divided such that each pole was represented by a separate variable.
