      ab: Factor analyses of the Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory's 150 items were conducted to test the hypothesis that the MTAI contained more homogeneous and unidimensional measures of teachers' attitudes than are represented by the total score. A series of analyses applied to 368 MTAI responses of intermediate grade teachers with various computer programs, yielding a number of alternative analyses, resulted in the selection of a solution with five interpretable and meaningful factors, identified as follows: 1. Children's irresponsible tendencies and lack of self-discipline, 2. Conflict between teachers' and pupils' interests, 3. Rigidity and severity in handling pupils, 4. Pupils' independence in learning, 5. Pupils' acquiescence to the teacher. Discussion was given their interpretation and significance for the psychological study of teacher behavior as well as comparison with earlier work by Horn and Morrison.
