TLDR
This article found that the Mach V factorial structure was more identifiable for white students than for Mexican-Americans and concluded that of several possible factorial summaries, a three-factor solution afforded the most succinct reduction of the data.
Abstract
121 Mexican-American and 112 white college students filled out Christie's Mach V scale which measures proclivities for interpersonal manipulation and deceit. Analysis of responses indicated that the Mach V factorial structure was more identifiable for the white students than for the Mexican-Americans. It was concluded that of several possible factorial summaries, a three-factor solution afforded the most succinct reduction of the data.
