Reasonable educational objectives should be constructed on the basis of scientific analyses of the psychological traits which are required in various educational areas. The writer has been trying to study the factorial analysis of those traits which are now involved in the main fields of educational evaluation. The present study succeeds his previous factorial research on sociality and is concerned with four behavior traits, each of which is represented by an objective-type question. The first item relates to sociableness in human relations ; the second, to activeness in all kinds of actions ; the third, to dominance or leadership in various group activities ; and the fourth, to vigorousness in physical or motor behaviors.
The subjects were 1, 000 college students, including equal number of both sexes. They were asked to answer whether they possessed each behavior trait or not. The latent structure of their answers were analysed on the assumption of two latent classes : one whose members were supposed to have a certain social tendency, and the other not. The latent parameters were obtained separately for each sex. It was found that the first latent class of male subjects consisted of about 58% of the total, and that they possessed all of those traits to a considerable degree, although the third trait was relatively low. Thus, the majority of their answer patterns belonged to all-positives (++++) and to three-positives except the third (++-+). The first class of female subjects involved about 67% of the total, and they gave positive answer to the first and the second items at considerably high rate, while the other two items, especially the third, were quite low in the rate of positive answers. Accordingly, most of their answer patterns were of four types, all of which had almost the same frequencies ; i. e., all-positives (++++), three-or two-positives except the third or/and the fourth (++-+, +++-, ++--). For both sexes, the second latent class was one where the members generally denied the possession of all, especially the third, of those behavior traits.
The traits which were studied here relate to some main evaluation objectives in the realm of social behavior. Therefore, the above results will give some factorial clarifications to the relations among those educational values and will help us understand the factual of their appearance among the Japanese students.
