“…In a reliability generalizability study of the instrument incorporating 123 internal consistency assessments, Beretvas, Meyers, and Leite (2002) calculated a mean internal consistency coefficient of .73. Although there is some debate whether the Crowne-Marlowe items are best represented by a single-or a two-factor structure, Ventimiglia and MacDonald (2012) found the one-factor model (used in this study) to be a reasonable fit to the data (GFI = .91, RMSEA = .035).…”

Two studies summarize the development and initial validation of the Multicultural Personality Inventory (MPI). In Study 1, the 115-item prototype MPI was administered to 415 university students where exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 70-item, 7-factor model. In Study 2, the 70-item MPI and theoretically related companion instruments were administered to a multisite sample of 576 university students. Confirmatory factory analysis found the 7-factor structure to be a relatively good fit to the data (Comparative Fit Index =.954; root mean square error of approximation =.057), and MPI factors predicted variance in criterion variables above and beyond the variance accounted for by broad personality traits (i.e., Big Five). Study limitations and directions for further validation research are specified.

“…Crowne and Marlowe (1960) reported an internal consistency reliability coefficient of .88 and test-retest reliability of .89 with a sample of 39 undergraduates. More recently, Ventimiglia and MacDonald (2012) found the SDS demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of .79 for a sample of 555 undergraduates.…”

“…Whereas Seol (2007) found evidence for a single dimension, Ventimiglia and MacDonald (2012) reported moderate fit for either a one-factor or two-factor (impression management and self-deception) model, while Holden and Fekken (1989) supported a five-factor (considerateness, endurance, patience, integrity, and adherence to social norms) model for the structure underlying the MCSDS items. Different theoretical models and factor analytic methods in these studies preclude any strong conclusions about the structure of the MCSDS.…”
