Three-Mode Multidimensional Scaling with Points-of-View Solutions.

Abstract

In the area of multidimensional scaling research, the three most popular models are Points-of-View, INDSCAL, and Three-Mode procedures. However, each of these models has some theoretical and/or methodological difficulties in application to the real world. In this report, a new quantitative model, called 3M-POV, has been developed by combining the Three-Mode and Points-of-View models into a single analytic procedure. While the strengths of all three models have been kept, their difficulties have been eliminated. For illustration indigenous inter-concept distances among 22 concepts from 28 language/culture communities have been applied and resulted in very interesting solutions. It is anticipated that this approach can be fruitfully applied to our survey data obtained from three diverse samples to contrast the points-of-view of men and women on subjective culture variables associated with sex-role relations.
