Abstract
A factor analysis of the questionnaire yielded an approximation of five of Gouldner's (1 958) six dimensions. A reanalysis of the data without the constraints imposed by replication produced six factors, the most stable of which measured rule tropism-a concept that for some issues possesses more explanatory power than does the cosmopolitan-local construct. The authors conclude that the differences between factor analysis and scale analysis may help to explain the differences in the number of dimensions which comprise the cosmopolitan-local construct.
