Conducted a factor analysis of the 31 ‐item Overcontrolled‐Hostility (O‐H) scale in a sample of 200 incarcerated male prisoners. Five major factors were derived: Absence of Manifest Symptomatology, Denial, Chronic Hostility, Persistent Dreaming, and Social Compliance. Subscales comprised of high‐loading items (≥.30) were constructed for each factor, and the personality correlates of each were determined.
