Angular dependent magnetotransport measurements on the fractional quan
tum Hall (FQHE) states around Landau level filling factor v = 3/2 are
explained very effectively in terms of composite fermions (CFs) with a
spin. The disappearance and reappearance of FQHE states as well as th
eir spin polarization is deduced from a simple ''Landau level'' fan di
agram for CFs. While the ''Landau splitting'' scales with effective ma
gnetic field, with its origin at v = 3/2 the spin-splitting scales wit
h total external magnetic field having Its origin at B = 0. The g fact
or of a CF is largely the g factor of the electron.
