The Factorial Validity of an Inventory Assessing Horney's Interpersonal Response Traits of Compliance, Aggression, and Detachment

Abstract

This research was concerned with the factorial validity of Cohen's (1967) 35-item CAD inventory which attempts to operationalize Karen Horney's typology of three interpersonal response traits: compliance, aggression, and detachment (CAD). Personal interview data were collected from 203 women within upper, middle, and lower social classes. Principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation indicated little support for Cohen's contention that CAD measures three orthogonal constructs. Results of other factor solutions revealed that the constructs are perhaps nonorthogonal. The results suggest needed modifications in the inventory.
