An Evaluation of the Reliability, Stability and Factor Structure of the Manifest Needs Questionnaire
评估Steers和Braunstein的显性需求问卷的心理测量学质量,发现其稳定性尚可但内部一致性不足,因子结构无法复现,提醒使用者注意这些缺陷。
The psychometric adequacy of Steers and Braunstein's (1976) Manifest Needs Questionnaire is investigated. Research results indicate that the instrument possesses adequate stability but lacks adequate internal consistency. Factor analytic procedures fail to replicate the a priori factor structure. Results are compared with Steers and Braunstein's developmental work. Potential users of the instrument are advised to interpret research outcomes in light of the deficiencies noted.
