Abstract

The study purpose was to evaluate the cluster, or facet, version of Benjamin's (1974, 1996b) Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) in independent samples of 133 normal participants and 182 psychiatric cases. We first tested for the presence of 3 circumplexes, Focus on the Other, Focus on the Self, and Introject in the 36 items that are hypothesized to define each of them. Next, intercorrelations of 8 item-based facet scales were assessed for internal consistency, factor structure, and circular order, with the expectation that the scales would be reliable, yield 2 higher-order factors, and demonstrate a circumplex structure. Principal components analysis was applied followed by varimax rotation. Data for both normal participants and patients uniformly confirmed the presence of 4 item-level factors and 2 cluster-based factors for each circle. Alpha coefficients for facet scales were typically high, but some were as low as .50. The principal difference between the normal participants and patients was that the circumplex was incomplete in the patient data with poor differentiation of the vertical and horizontal variables.
