Instructions for Question Nos. 40

to 44 :

Read the following paragraph and

answer the five questions (40 to 44)

which follow :

Paragraph : A social psychologist

working in the area of attitudes

believed that underlying majority of

social attitudes, there are two broad

dimensions; conservatism-liberalism

and tough mindedness-tender

mindedness. After a careful scrutiny

of different social attitude scales, he

located 36 attitude scales which

presumably represented important

social attitudes. He administered

these 36 scales to a sample of 500

participants and obtained the

intercorrelations among the 36

24

scales. The psychologist wanted to

factor analyze these scales.
36 × 36
Retaining unities in the diagonal

spaces of the 36 × 36 correlation

matrix, the unrotated factors were

extracted. Using various criteria for

deciding the number of factors for

further rotation, including Cattell’s

scree, first seven factors were

retained. The seven factors, together,

explained 70 percent of variance.

The seven factors were rotated by

following a suitable method and the

resulting inter-factor correlation

matrix was examined. Several of the

inter-factor correlations were fairly

high. Second-order factor analysis

was, then, carried out which yielded

two nearly orthogonal factors.

25 [P.T.O.

40. While factor analyzing the 36 × 36 40. 36 × 36

(D)
(D) Confirmatory factor analysis

41. 36 × 36

(C) Less than 10 precent

(D) Cannot specify (D)
