TY - JOUR PY - 2005// TI - Factorial structure of short scales measuring manic-depression in Kuwaiti undergraduates JO - Psychological reports A1 - Abdel-Khalek, Ahmed M. A1 - Lester, David SP - 128 EP - 128 VL - 97 IS - 1 N2 - A sample of 202 Kuwaiti college students (63 men and 139 women; Mage=21.6 yr., SD=2.4) responded to the Thalbourne, et al.'s Manic-Depressiveness Scale. In a factor analysis with a varimax rotation, 14 of 18 items had significant loadings (>.3) on the first factor, including 8 items of the original depression scale. 6 items significantly loaded on the second factor, including 3 items of the original mania scale. This did not match the hypothetical structure of the scale.
