Construction of the scales of the Mapa ng Loob

Conclusion: Katigbak, Church, Lapena,
Carlota & del Pilar (2002) •  Construct definition
•  Item-writing
"...most of the dimensions measured •  Item review (to improve phrasing, to
by Philippine personality inventories eliminate highly similar items, and
overlap considerably with, and are assignment of prototypicality ratings)
adequately encompassed by, •  Item testing
dimensions of the five-factor model..." •  Reliability analysis
p. 97 •  Factor analysis

Factor Analysis Principal Component Analysis of Mapa Preliminary Version 6 (Final Version)

•  Since the Mapa aims to measure the five

factors, it has to demonstrate that the five
facets group as expected.
