title: Group And Individual Implicit Theories Of Personality: An Application Of Three-Mode Principal Component Analysis.
abstract: Data produced by 60 subjects rating 31 artificial persons on 11 personality trait scales were analyzed by three-mode principal component analysis. The subjects shared a circular configuration of stimuli and scales. Individuals tended to depart from this pattern in extremity of judgement rather than configuration, suggesting the operation of a response style. The advantages of including "artificial subjects," and of partitioning the residual sums of squares are discussed.
