Abstract

The factor structures of the Views of Life questionnaire for four data sets collected in northern Mexico were compared with the original structure reported by Diaz-Guerrero (1979). None of the factor structures for these data sets replicated the original. The subscale means and variances were also compared. While statistically significant differences in subscale scores were obtained, little variance was explained by these comparisons (w2 usually <.10). Only one pair of variances was reliably different. Several explanations for the failure to replicate and suggestions for appropriate uses of the instrument are presented.
