Confirmatory Factor Analyses of the Full and Short Versions of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale

Abstract

Over the years, researchers have developed various short versions of the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (D. P. Crowne & D. Marlowe, 1960). The authors used confirmatory factor analyses (J. L. Arbuckle, 1997) as well as item and scale analyses to evaluate the adequacy of the full version and various short versions. Overall, the results from 232 Canadian undergraduates showed (a) that all the short versions in the present study are a significant improvement in fit over the 33-item full scale and (b) that W. M. Reynolds's (1982) Forms A and B are the best fitting short versions. No gender differences were found for the full scale or any of the short versions. The results show that the full scale could be improved psychometrically and that the psychometrically sound short versions should be available because they require less administration time than the full scale.     

《一切经音义》中所见的几处《周易》经文异文

本文着眼于文献,从佛经音义中整理出六条《周易》经文异文。通过对照发现,它们与今本、帛本、竹本《周易》经文,皆不相同。初步考察表明,《周易》在佛教界流传,他们所继承的版本系统,与外界所行当有所不同。

《周易注疏》版本流变及阮刻《周易正义》补议

《周易》的注、疏合刻始于南宋茶盐司八行本,自此以后,又有十行本。阮元的《重刊十三经注疏》即是以十行本为依据。十行本为元刻明修本,这一点已为学者所指出。然而,不同的十行本,其先后传承仍然是需要辨明的。阮元所依据的十行本,乃是十行本中错讹最多的一个本子。由此我们审视阮元的重刻,其主要失误在于选择底本的错误而非刊刻工作本身。同时,由《周易正义》的情况来看,十行本与闽、监、毛本的关系亦并非仅仅是前贤所认为的递相传承。闽本实际出自元刻九行本,且此元刻九行本反倒是十行本明代补版所从出。在《周易注疏》的众版本中,武英殿本及四库本较易被忽略,然而这个版本从分卷到校勘却是比较有特色的。
