TEACHERS' RATINGS OF CLASSROOM BEHAVIOUR: FACTORIAL STRUCTURE

Summary. A five-factor structure in ratings by teachers is proposed as useful and theoretically justifiable, comprising stable and unstable aspects of extra-version-introversion, and a dimension of Competence or the Good Pupil. The construction of a scale to test this structure is described. The resultant factor analysis supports the five-factor structure at the first-order level, and at the second-order level there is a parallel with broad dimensions identified by other workers.
