The objective of this research was to investigate construct validity of a clothing interest scale. Factor analysis of Creekmore's Importance of Clothing questionnaire, a multidi mensional measure containing nine subscales, resulted in an extraction of eight factors, interpreted to represent the basic dimensions of clothing interest as measured by the instru ment. Factor and subscale scores were compared by means of product-moment correla tions. Significant correlations indicated strong associations between the two sets of scores. Items assigned to factors and to subscales were compared by means of phi coefficients and point-biserial correlations. Highly significant correlations indicated strong associations. The null hypothesis, that there was no association between factors and subscales, was rejected. This close proximity between factor and subscale scores was interpreted as an indication of construct validity for the instrument. (Home Economics Research Journal, September 1975, Vol. 4, No. 1)
