    Abstract

    Following Fromm's (1976) and Rand's (1993) theory, a scale of 51 items on attitudes towards the Being, Doing and Having “Modes of Existence” has been constructed (Reichenberg 1996). Our objectives are two-fold: first, an examination, in parallel, of the validity of the scale with two methods: Factor Analysis and Facet Theory. And second, a shortening of the scale from 51 questions to a more compact one. The présent article is based on empirical data gathered from 386 female teachers, students and counselors in college éducation departments in Israel in 1995 and 1997.
