Abstract
This study investigated the tractor replicability of a 54-item, multitractorial, self-report measure of temperament for a cross-validational sample of young adults. A 10-factor model specification was supported via maximum likelihood exploratory tractor analysis. Congruence coefficients and pattern similarity indices provided support for the configurational similarity of the tractor loading patterns of the two samples trot 8 of the 10 factors. High congruity was found for the factors of Activity Level-General, Activity Level-Sleep, Approach/Withdrawal, Flexibility-Rigidity, Mood, Rhythmicity-Sleep, Rhythmicity-Sleep, Rhythmicity-Eating, and Distractibility. Items related to a distinct Persistence factor in the original sample loaded on the Distractibility tractor in the cross-validation sample. Also, Rhythmicity-Daily Habits did not retain its factor integrity in the cross-validation sample.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
