Factor Structure of The Subscales of The Korean Personality Assessment Inventory

Abstract

This study explored the internal structure of 31 Korean Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) subscales. For the purpose, we randomly divided a sample of normal adults into two groups and, then used exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The exploratory factor analysis produced a model of 3~5 factors, and confirmatory factor analysis identified 5 correlated factors. These 5 factors were anxiety and depression, impulse and expansion, physical and physiological problems, reduction of activity and social withdrawal, and aggression and emotional instability. We discussed the study's implications and limitations regarding the use of the PAI in cross-cultural comparisons.
