Abstract
This investigation assesses the validity of the Problem Solving Style Questionnaire's (PSSQ) two subscales (abstractness/concreteness and ac tion/reflection). Confirmatory factor analyses with the PSSQ and Honey and Mumford's (1982) Learning Styles Questionnaire provide support fo r the convergent and discriminant validity of the PSSQ. Although furth er examination of the psychometric properties of the PSSQ is warranted , the PSSQ represents an encouraging alternative to other measures of learning style.
