Jeny. Rapheal, Varghese Paul K

Abstract :

Exploratory factor analysis is one of the statistical methods used for identifying latent structures underlying a construct constituting many variables in social science researches. This study is an attempt in that line for the dimensional reduction of Home environment Inventory originally prepared by K. S. Misra. Pricipal axis factoring via “promax” rotation yielded mainly three factors out of the ten variables of Home Environment Inventory. First factor was termed as “Positive Home Environment” which represented the variables Protectiveness, Nurture and Reward. The second one constituting the variables Conformity, Punishment, Control and Permissiveness was termed as “Disciplinary Home Environment”. And the third factor stood for “Negative Home environment” as it comprised SocialIsolation, Rejection and Deprivation of privileges in the homes of adolescents.
