Showing papers in "Personality and Individual Differences in 1987"

TL;DR: A slightly modified version of this scale ASC4B (Adult) was completed by 185 men and women between the ages of 18 and 64 years as discussed by the authors, and the results support the unidimensionality, reliability and validity of this attitude scale among an adult population.

TL;DR: This article investigated individual differences in the ability to respond to a target, whilst ignoring a distractor, using color as a selection cue using the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) of Broadbent, Cooper, FitzGerald and Parkes.

TL;DR: The Emotion Control Questionnaire (ECQ) as mentioned in this paper is a scale for measuring emotional control, which has been developed in the context of research on stress Factor analysis of the initial item pool uncovered a 40-item, four-factor structure which was replicated in an independent sample of subjects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of the intelligence of the Mongoloid consisting of three linked sub-theories is presented, namely, psychometric features of Mongoloid intelligence, high general intelligence (Spearman's g), high visuospatial abilities and low verbal abilities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that criminality and psychopathy exist as part of a multi-variable cluster of behavior patterns which is a manifestation of sub-optimal arousal. But they do not identify any specific behavior pattern that is more common among criminals and psychopaths than among their counterparts.

TL;DR: A recently devised two-scale questionnaire (STQ) for measuring "borderline" personality traits, together with the EPQ, was administered to 108 monozygotic and 102 dizygotic adult twin pairs as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A study of male and female subjects from the United States (Hawaii), the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and the Republic Taiwan (Taiwan) revealed a high degree of consistency across national groups in whether individual test items describing socially disapproved conduct loaded on guilt vs shame factors and also in the relative seriousness with which each of these lapses in conduct were viewed as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The results were consistent with the hypothesis that psychopaths have limited left-hemisphere resources for processing linguistic stimuli, and unusual speech processing in psychopaths under conditions of distraction is suggested.

TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency discrimination of two 20-msec tones in the absence of any masking using a two-interval forced choice procedure was investigated, and the results suggest that higher intelligence may be associated with greater resolution capacity, which in turn may increase speed of performance.

TL;DR: Aitken's Procrastination Inventory was administered to 200 college students and scores were correlated with extraversion and neuroticism scores of the revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This article investigated the response, arousal, and attentional components of Gray's (1971, 1982) model of temperament and found that introverts respond more slowly than extraverts following negative feedback.

TL;DR: In this paper, the psychometric properties of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised (EPQ-R) and the I.7 Impulsiveness Questionnaire were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, spontaneous EEG activity in the 8-14-Hz band (alpha) obtained while subjects opened and closed their eyes on instruction were related to scores on the EPQ-E scale and scales of narrow and broad impulsiveness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between electrodermal activity (EDA) and anxiety in an attention demanding task, by looking at the neuropsychology of individual differences.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors described two studies in which Skinner and Lei's (1980a) modal profile analysis was applied to scores on a procrastination scale and a number of other trait scales.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the sexual experience, enjoyment of various activities, and favorite fantasies of men and women readers of a national newspaper, and found that sexual experience and enjoyment are better indicators of sexual instinct than attitudes and behaviour.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the reciprocal influence of personality on drug use and drug use on personality from late adolescence to young adulthood using a structural modeling approach and found evidence for an impact of early personality traits affecting later substance use, rather than for the reverse.

TL;DR: The relationship between impulsiveness subtraits assessed by the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-10), the trait anxiety subscale of the State-Trait Personality Inventory (STPI), and the topographic distribution of visual N100 augmenting/reducing (AR) was examined in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of general factor loadings was determined over the six contexts, and the correlations of factor loading ranged from 0.52 to 0.94 with an average value of 0.83.

TL;DR: This article examined whether extraversion and rigidity were associated with particular types of errors or response tendencies on the perceptual maze test and found that extraverted subjects solved more mazes incorrectly but this was not reflected in a significantly larger number of errors made in the binary choice configurations, examined by the response analysis program.

TL;DR: The authors investigated the factor structures of two sets of coping styles, proposed by Lazarus and Plutchik respectively, as well as the relationship between each set with extraversion and neuroticism.

TL;DR: The bulimics scored significantly higher than the anorexics on Psychoticism and Neuroticism, and lower on Social Desirability, and tended to be more like drug addicts as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the SHAPS (Special Hospitals Assessment of Personality and Socialisation) was matched with factor scores to yield a 40-item scale of belligerence and a 27 item scale of withdrawal.

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the literature on suggestibility and argued that "interrogative suggestibility" bears little resemblance to traditional types of suggestibility, and requires a separate model of understandings.

TL;DR: The authors found that decreasing religiosity during adolescence is likely to depress empathy scores at precisely the same time as increasing cognitive skills are likely to enhance empathy development, while there is no direct correlation in the sample between age and empathy.

TL;DR: How the brain responds to intense sensory stimulation as measured by A/R determines how people respond behaviorally to intense sensations.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of the interrelationships of various dimensions of extraversion, self-report arousal and physiological arousal was conducted, and the relationship between extraversion and arousal was not affected by time of day.

TL;DR: In this article, subjects were given the opportunity either to deliver shocks or to withhold rewards from their confederate, and physiological measures were taken prior to the hostility induction, shortly after the induction and, finally, after the opportunity to aggress.

TL;DR: The relationship between the personality components of psychoticism, extraversion and neuroticism, and levels of conduct disorder, delinquency and therapy responsiveness in children is investigated in this article, and the results support the importance of including personality factors in the study of antisocial behaviour in children.
