Factor analysis of the revised inventory revealed three independent factors similar to those found for the original inventory: external attribution of blame was positively correlated with psychoticism, hostility and external locus of control.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated to what extent these subjective coping preferences can be predicted by individual and cultural differences in coping resources and coping vulnerabilities, and found that emotion-focused coping is mainly influenced by anxiety whereas self-concept turned out to be beneficial for problem focused coping in the German subsample.
••

••
TL;DR: In this article, eight reaction time tests, yielding 11 measures of speed of information processing, were administered to 50 pairs of adult monozygotic twins and 52 pairs of dizygotic twins.
••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of academically gifted children and their full siblings on the Raven Matrices and reaction time (RT) on an elementary cognitive task, and found significant differences between the gifted and their intellectually less gifted siblings.
••
TL;DR: The music tests involve accuracy rather than speed, and hence confirm the thesis that accuracy of neural transmission and analysis is a component of intelligence.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, multiple regression techniques were used to examine stability of self-esteem and changes in the constellation of predictors of selfesteem in an adolescent sample over a 2-year period.
••
TL;DR: The positive relationship between religiosity and Eysenckian lie scale scores consistently identified by previous research has been interpreted in a variety of ways according to whether the lie scale is considered to measure actual lying, lack of insight or social conformity as mentioned in this paper.
••
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the evaluation on 16 dimensions of male and female subjects to detailed anatomical drawings of female and male stimulus figures on 16 bipolar scales and found that male figures were not considered as unattractive as female figures if slightly to moderately overweight (i.e. Figs 7, 8 and 9 on a 12 point scale).
••
TL;DR: This article explored the relationship of Eysenck's major personality dimensions with measures of general, social and emotional loneliness and coping strategies and found that general and social loneliness were inversely related to extraversion, but positively to Neuroticism along with emotional loneliness.
••
TL;DR: A recent higher-order factor analysis of the Cattell, Comrey and Eysenck personality scales by Noller, Law and Comrey as mentioned in this paper provided a useful account of the number and nature of normal personality-type dimensions measured within the questionnaire, self-report domain.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and the Affect Intensity Measure (AIM) were completed by 253 subjects and the single summary AIM score correlated positively and significantly with both Neuroticism and Extraversion.
