Abstract
A 216-item inventory was administered to 252 Ss in an attempt further to clarify the personality factor of Dependence. 42 groups of homogeneous items were used to measure previously identified factors of Shyness, Empathy, Neuroticism, Compulsion, and Hostility, in addition to Dependence. Total scores were obtained for each item group and the matrix of intercorrelations was factor analyzed. 7 major factors were obtained. Dependence emerged as 2 factors, named Socialization and Dependence; each was well-defined by 5 item groups with loadings greater than .48. The other 5 personality factors under investigation appeared as predicted.
