title: Factor structure of the self-construal scale in a Vietnamese-American adolescent sample.
abstract: This study investigated the factor structure of the Self-construal Scale, an important measure of interdependent and independent self-construal. An exploratory factor analysis with the principal component method and varimax rotation supported Singelis' original two-factor model (1994) for a sample of 152 Vietnamese-American high school adolescents recruited from Little Saigon in Orange County, California. Implications for the conceptualization of self-construal and issues in research are discussed.
