A sample of 202 Kuwaiti college students (63 men and 139 women; M-sub(age) = 21.6 yr., SD = 2.4) responded to the Thalbourne et al Manic-Depressiveness Scale. In a factor analysis with a varimax rotation, 14 of 18 items had significant loadings (>.3) on the first factor, including 8 items of the original depression scale. 6 items significantly loaded on the second factor, including 3 items of the original mania scale. This did not match the hypothetical structure of the scale.
