Abstract

Scott's (1969) His a statistic that represents the number of independent dimensions in a set of binary (1,0) data. H has been used by personality and social psychologists to measure the complexity of thought people have about themselves (self-complexity) and about other people. This article describes H-Comp, a program that calculates H. Using data input from either the keyboard or from an ASCII data file, H-Comp calculates H and writes the resulting score and raw data to output files. H-Comp provides an accurate and efficient way to calculate H.
