The scientific analysis of personality

Abstract: Written by one of the world's most eminent personality theorists, this book provides a simply written, comprehensive introduction to recent research about personality structure and the nature of individual differences. The Scientific Analysis of Personality offers the essence of Cattell's work on personality testing, reviewing the experimental, quantitative and statistical research which with the aid of the electronic computer is now producing remarkable new discoveries.After preliminary surveys of the methods by which personality can be studied and of hereditary influences on personality, the author expounds the core of his work on factor analysis and source traits of excitability, dominance, ego and super-ego strength. Chapters on the techniques of objective measurement, the motivation of personality, and the ways in which learning and growing up can be scientifically assessed conclude in a final overview of the wider social implications of personality measurement.Simplicity of presentation combined with a useful glossary of terms will encourage students and layman alike in the analysis of personality. The book will serve as a basic reference to current research methods for psychologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, educators and all engaged in mental testing.

Evaluative Reactions to Accents.

Abstract: Lambert's use of the “matched‐guise” technique to study stereotyped impressions of personality characteristics from contrasting spoken dialects and languages has been extended to investigate three other evaluative dimensions in relation to British regional and foreign accents. 177 Ss were required to rate the “aesthetic”, “communicative” and “status” contents of various accents presented both vocally and conceptually. Although a generalised pattern of ranking accents across these dimensions emerged, the factors of age, ser, social class and regional membership were found to be important determinants of evaluation. The social and educational significance of these findings were discussed.

The relationships between personality, study methods and academic performance

Abstract: Summary. 139 university students and 118 students at a college of education were given the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a questionnaire relating to academic motivation and study methods. A correlational analysis of these scores in relation to academic performance at the end of the first year showed the superiority of introverts and students with good study methods. Introverts also tended to have better study methods, but this only partially explained their high academic performance. There was no relationship between neuroticism and attainment. A supplementary approach used an item-analysis to identify the characteristics of successful students. From this analysis, items which identified good students were also positively related to stability and introversion.

UNDER ANONYMOUS CONDITIONS, 1118 STUDENTS AT TWO UNIVERSITIES COMPLETED THE CALIFCRNIA PSYCHOLOGICAL INVENTORY AND A BIOGRAPHICAL QUESTIONNAIRE CONCERNING DRUG USAGE. FOUR CONCLUSIONS WERE REACHED: (1) MARIJUANA USE AT TWO UNIVERSITIES CAN BE PREDICTED WITH FAIR ACCURACY, (2) USERS AND NON-USERS ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE WITH REGARD TO THEIR SECONDARY EDUCATION, EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES, OR ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION. THEY DIFFER, HOWEVER, IN FRATERNITY MEMBERSHIP, ACADEMIC MAJOR, YEAR IN SCHOOL, AND SCHOLASTIC ACHIEVEMENT. (3) USERS SHOW A PERSONALITY PATTERN SOMEWHAT AT VARIANCE WITH MANY STEREOTYPES, WHILE THEY APE IN SOME WAYS ANTI-SOCIAL, THEY ARE CHARACTERIZED BY VALUABLE TRAITS AS WELL, AND (4) THE CHARACTER STRUCTURE OF NON-USERS IS NOT NECESSARILY SUPERIOR TO THAT OF USERS. MARIJUANA USE IS PERHAPS MORE PROPERLY CLASSIFIED AS AMORAL THAN IMMORAL, AND CURRENT DISAPPROVAL OF ITS USE MAY REFLECT A CULTURAL EMPHASIS RATHER THAN A TRULY "MORAL" JUDGMENT. (AUTHOR/EK) .,,

Chinese culture, personality formation and mental illness.

Abstract: PSYCHIATRISTS have developed increasing interest in the study of &dquo;culture and psychiatry&dquo; in the last few decades. There is a practical need to understand different ways of life and the ways in which mental illness is manifested in different cultures in order to enable us to apply knowledge of psychiatry across cultural boundaries. It is also of theoretical interest to inquire what is the universal human pattern and what are cultural variants of human behavior in order to help us broaden our concept of human life and improve our theories of psychiatry.

Personality and Politics: Problems of Evidence, inference, and Conceptualization

Abstract: It is widely recognized that politics often is profoundly shaped by the personalities of the actors in the political process. Yet the scholarly literature on "personality and politics" is one of the most vexed, controversial, and methodologically gnarled bodies of inquiry in the social sciences. The author of this book, an acknowledged authority in the field, attempts to lay out conceptual and methodological standards for carrying out personality-and-politics inquiries-ranging from psychological case studies of single actors, through multi-case analyses of types of political actors, to aggregative analyses of the impact of individuals and types of individuals on political systems and processes. For the Norton Library edition, Professor Greenstein has written an introduction dealing with current issues and examples.

The Relationship between the Maudsley Personality Inventory and the Course of Affective Disorders

Abstract: A group of 99 patients with a primary affective disorder was given the Maudsley Personality Inventory on admission to hospital and also four years later as part of a follow-up study. The patients were allocated to one of four operationally defined diagnostic groups: phobic anxiety depersonalization state, simple anxiety state, reactive depression and endogenous depression. It was found that MPI scores are influenced by the prevailing mental state of the patients. The presence of affective illness was associated with a marked increase in neuroticism and a less marked decrease in extraversion; changes in the opposite direction occurred following recovery. A comparison of the N and E scores obtained during the key illness and at follow-up reflected the tendency for male patients with neurotic disorders to make a good recovery while female patients with neurotic disorders tended to remain more permanently disabled. Patients with endogenous depression were distinguished from the neurotic diagnostic groups by lower N scores and higher E scores, both at key illness and at follow-up. It is suggested that the MPI can assist in the differentiation of affective disorders as regards outcome if the relative contributions of personality and illness to the scores obtained are considered. Personality differences were demonstrated in patients after recovery from three forms of affective disorders: the female phobic anxiety group, the male simple anxiety group, and the endogenous depression group. In the diagnostic groups of reactive depression and endogenous depression, the N scores obtained at key illness of patients who subsequently recovered were significantly lower than the scores of patients who remained unwell. The inclusion of information regarding age, sex, diagnosis and MPI scores of patients with affective disorders was found to increase the accurate prediction of outcome by a highly significant degree over the rate obtained when none of these variables was employed.

Effects of Classroom Social Climate on Individual Learning

Abstract: Teachers often suggest that classes have a distinctive personality or "climate" which influences the learning efficiency of their members. In some classes, the difficulties of one pupil become the concern of all. In other groups, each child works for personal rewards and the presence of others does little to aid or frustrate his individual learning. The properties of school classes that account for some of these differences have been termed the classroom social climate (Anderson, 1968). Derived from prior group research and from an intuitive analysis of the types of interactions that are present in typical school classes, these climate properties include interpersonal relationships among pupils, relationships between pupils and their teacher, relationships between pupils and both the subject studied and the method of learning, and finally, pupils' perceptions of the structural characteristics of the class. Previous research on classroom social climate has provided some insights into two aspects of the social psychology of the school class group. One study (Walberg and Anderson, 1968) considered the relationships between individual pupil perceptions of their class and their individual learning; a subsequent study (Anderson & Walberg, 1968) attempted to account for differential class performance in terms of

Theory of Aging and Cognitive Theory of Personality

Abstract: Findings from different approaches to gerontology were evaluated in terms of cognitive theory of personality. Contributions of this theory to the theory of aging are demonstrated by formulating three postulates referring to the relationship between objective situational change, perceived change, motivational change, behavioral change, and adjustment to aging.

Personality, Motivational Systems, and Behavior of High and Low LPC Persons

Abstract: : The paper presents a new interpretation of the least preferred coworker (LPC) score which suggests that the score reflects a hierarchy of goals. High LPC persons have as their primary goal the establishment and maintenance of interpersonal relations and as a secondary goal the attainment of prominence and self-enhancement. The low LPC person is seen as having as his primary goal the achievement of tasks and material relations. The implications of this interpretation and the supporting data for the prediction of behavior, leadership training, and personality theory are discussed, as is the integration of the contingency model results with findings obtained in other leadership research programs.
