Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to determine the factor structure and scale loadings of the 15-scale Form A of the Personality Research Form PRF-A. Analyses were based upon normative data for males and females. Principle components analyses yielded four comparable dimensions for both groups Striving, Self-Enhancing, Unconstrained, and Socially Involved. The factor structure was found to be less complex than that for 22-scale versions of the PRF, and the components correspond to important aspects of personality functioning. Results indicate the potential usefulness of the four PRF-A components in future research. Precautions regarding interpretation of the results are discussed. Author
