| Abstract: | Bass (see 31: 2534) "obtained a correlation of - .20 between the California F scale and an F scale rewritten so that the content of each item reflected a viewpoint opposed to the original (called the G scale). Bass used this correlation in a factor analysis of the F and G scales, placing reliabilities in the diagonals… . However, the notation for the factor matrix… was in terms of F and G, not F and - G. Since the factor loadings… reproduce a correlation of rFG = + .20, the factor matrix labels should read F and - G… . necessitating a reversal in interpretation."
