  We discuss symmetry breaking in the weak magnetism form factors for the
semileptonic octet baryon decays. In the chiral quark model, the symmetry
breaking can be accounted for in the masses and the quark spin polarizations
can take on more general values due to Goldstone boson depolarization. Here we
clarify some features of the chiral quark model prediction for the weak
magnetism and compare to the corresponding result of the chiral quark soliton
model.
