Intercorrelations among Scale Scores of the Personal Orientation Inventory for Nursing Students
The present study estimated intercorrelations among the scales of the Personal Orientation Inventory for 89 first- and second-year nursing students—79 women and 10 men, ranging in age from 18 to 52 yr. (mean of 27 yr.)—and compared these with those reported in the test manual. Age, sex, and year-in-program were not related to scores on the inventory. Generally, correlations were larger than those reported in the manual and by others.
