Multivariate Behavioral Research

Abstract

The present experiment is intended to confirm my earlier findings, and to sustain the assumption that East African students' structure of mental difficulties is no different from that of students in the West. Seven factors were chosen for this study, each being represented by two Western reference tests. These Factors are: NFT; CFB; CFU; MSI; ESU; CMU and DSU. The battery was administered to two samples of students:-l04 Higher School Certificate boys (HSC) in secondary 5 land 6, and 165 Makerere University College Undergraduates (MUC). Principal components analysis was followed by orthogonal rotation using the Varimax solution. The seven factors were identifiable in both samples, tending to sustain the assumption that. the structure of mental abilities in East African students is similar to that in Western students.
