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.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between personality and mood and found that individual differences in mean mood and mood variability are determined in an important way by personality characteristics, such as extraversion and neuroticism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the relationship between three factors commonly associated with eating disorders, Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (SES), the Irrational Beliefs Scale (IBS), Coping Index (CI) and Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI), and found that higher EDI scores were related to lower self-estreem, increased irrational beliefs, less frequent use of cognitive and behavioural coping strategies and increased use of avoidance coping.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the factor structure of a schizotypal personality scale based on a sample of 420 adult subjects drawn from a population-based registry, and they used unweighted least squares analysis of the inter-item tetrachoric correlations to identify three robust component factors which could readily be identified with "magical ideation", "unusual perceptual experiences" and "paranoid ideation and suspiciousness".

Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the validity of graphology in this particular applied field by means of meta-analysis, a method of integrating research findings across studies, and found that graphologists outperformed non-graphologists on all dimensions.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Journal ArticleDOI
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).

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
