TI  - Exploratory factor analysis of the Human Behavior Rating Scale: a rural 
      population.
PG  - 785-802
AB  - The construct validity of Eaves' Human Behavior Rating Scale (HBRS) was 
      investigated. The HBRS is a scale with 91 Likert-type items designed to measure 
      five factors: arousal (persistence and curiosity), affect (externalizing and 
      internalizing), and cognition. Forty-four teachers of Grades 6, 7, and 8 from two 
      low socioeconomic and rural southern counties completed the HBRS for 320 of their 
      students. Three parcels were submitted for analysis for each of the five 
      dimensions. A five-factor, then a two-factor, solution were analyzed using 
      exploratory factor analysis. A principal-axis factor analysis was employed and an 
      oblique promax rotation was applied. The results supported the five-factor 
      solution with 90.2% of the total variance accounted for when compared to the 
      two-factor solution which recovered 73.4% of the total variance. 
      Intercorrelations between factors ranged from .15 to .76 for the five-factor 
      solution.
