Cross-Cultural Validation of the Five-Factor Structure of Social Goals: A Filipino Investigation
King, Ronnel B.; Watkins, David A.
Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, v30 n2 p181-193 Apr 2012
The aim of the present study was to test the cross-cultural validity of the five-factor structure of social goals that Dowson and McInerney proposed. Using both between-network and within-network approaches to construct validation, 1,147 Filipino high school students participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the five-factor model provided the best fit to the data compared with a series of alternative models. In addition, the five types of social goals also showed meaningful relationships to theoretically relevant constructs. Taken together, this study supports the applicability of the five-factor structure of social goals among Filipino respondents. (Contains 2 notes and 4 tables.)
