Abstract:

Global Factor scores from Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) were correlated with Holland codes using mean 16PF profiles from 69 occupational groups as data. Unlike prior studies, this study features occupational groups as the unit of analysis. Two analyses were done to test expectations, (a) 16PF scores would significantly discriminate among Holland types and (b) 16PF mean scores for each type would differ from the population mean in a direction consistent with prior research. Results met expectations on each analysis. Findings for two of the Global Factors (Anxiety and Self-control) warranted special comment. Interpretations were offered and implications discussed.

Abstract:

Previous research has shown correlations between normal personality variables of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) and Axis II personality disorder scales using the Morey, Waugh, and Blashfield Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. This study ( N = 37) compared variables from the adolescent version of the 16PF, the High School Personality Questionnaire, Revised, including the new Clinical Supplement and the MMPI scales of Morey, et al. and yielded results similar to those from earlier studies with other inventories. Extraversion scores correlated positively with those on Narcissistic and Histrionic scales, negatively with scores on Schizoid, Avoidant, and Schizotypal scales; scores on Independence had a similar pattern.

Abstract:

The relationship between occupational preferences and personality traits was examined. A randomly chosen sample of 735 students (age range = 17 to 23 years; 50.5% male) in their last year of high school participated in this study. Participants completed Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor–5 Questionnaire (16PF–5 Questionnaire) and the Kuder–C Professional Tendencies Questionnaire. Initial hierarchical cluster analysis categorized the participants into two groups by Kuder–C vocational factors: one showed a predilection for scientific or technological careers and the other a bias toward the humanities and social sciences. Based on these groupings, differences in 16PF–5 personality traits were analyzed and differences associated with three first-order personality traits (warmth, dominance, and sensitivity), three second-order factors (extraversion, control, and independence), and some areas of professional interest (mechanical, arithmetical, artistic, persuasive, and welfare) were identified. The data indicated that there was congruency between personality profiles and vocational interests.

Abstract:

The utility of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Fifth Edition (16PF) as an indicator of mentor effectiveness was examined. A random sample of the 16PF scores of 74 mentors was drawn from a population of 837 mentors from Big Brothers Big Sisters. Caseworkers rated mentor's effectiveness using a rubric developed for this purpose. The rubric showed good interrater agreement. Caseworkers' ratings of mentor's effectiveness was used to rate mentors systematically as appropriate or inappropriate. The 16PF scores of mentors were compared at an alpha level of .05 for appropriate and inappropriate groups using independent t tests and multivariate analysis of variance, which reflected significant differences between male and female mentors on Factors E and Q3. Significant differences were also found between “appropriate” and “inappropriate” mentors on Factors L and Q4. These differences reflected only moderate effect sizes and lacked practical significance or meaning. The results suggest that, while the 16PF discriminates statistically between “appropriate” and “inappropriate” mentors, in terms of practical significance, the questionnaire is not particularly useful as an initial screening tool.

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the psychiatric symptomatology and personality characteristics of Korean senior high school students considered to use the Internet to excess. Method: We administered a questionnaire packet to students that included 4 measures. These measures included a questionnaire on Internet use patterns during the previous month, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF). A total of 328 students, aged 15 to 19 years, participated in the study. Results: Students were divided into 4 Internet user groups according to their IAT total scores: nonusers ( n = 59, 18.0%), minimal users ( n = 155, 47.3%), moderate users ( n = 98, 29.9%), and excessive users ( n = 16, 4.9%). The SCL-90-R showed that the excessive users group, when compared with the other groups in this study, reported the highest levels of symptomatology. The 16PF also revealed that excessive users were easily affected by feeling, emotionally less stable, imaginative, absorbed in thought, self-sufficient, experimenting, and preferred their own decisions. Conclusions: This study suggests that senior high school students who use the Internet to excess report and subsequently exhibit significantly more psychiatric symptoms than students who use the Internet less frequently. In addition, excessive users appear to have a distinctive personality profile when compared with nonusers, minimal, and moderate users.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to determine the fairness of the 1992 South African version of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF, SA92) for various groups and to contribute to the knowledge on the profiles of specific career groups. The use of this questionnaire was evaluated on employees of a multicultural South African financial institution. The profiles of males and females were compared. So too were the profiles of individuals tested in their first language (Afrikaans or English) and individuals who indicated that their home language is an African language but who were tested in English. A comparison with the general population showed differences in primary and second-order factors, most of which could be explained in terms of the occupational type. Although there did not seem to be a need for specific norms, some cultural and gender-specific trends were found that should be considered when interpreting results on the 16PF, SA92. The factor structures of the total sample and the various subgroups were essentially the same and justified the use of the formulae for the second-order factors given in the manual. However, group-specific trends were also found in the constructs measured and these should be considered for the interpretation and usage of the scores on the primary and second-order traits.

Abstract:

This case study describes a transactional analysis model based on the strain of a single mother with an adult son suffering from bipolar I disorder. The study examines interaction patterns within the clinical setting; the therapeutic view examines contextual factors that affect this mother and her adult son through assessment and recovery with transactional analysis therapy. The 16-session therapeutic experience of a client and his mother is presented. The subjects in the case study were administered the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) assessment tool during the second and 16th sessions. There was a significant change from pretest to posttest stens scores regarding increased scores in emotional stability from 2 (extremely low) to 4 (average), rule consciousness from 1 (extremely low) to 3 (moderately low), openness to change from 6 (average) to 8 (moderately high), and self-control from 1 (extremely low) to 4 (average). Decreased scores included apprehension from 9 (extremely high) to 7 (average) and tension from 6 (average) to 3 (moderately low). Behavioral changes after a 1-month follow-up included taking the bus to sign up for a college class, taking his medication as prescribed, getting a part-time job in the kitchen at the Veteran Administration Medical Center, and developing a budget to manage his disability check.

Abstract:

Introduction. The autobiographical memory is a subjective reflection of the passed life path segment, which is the fixation, preservation, interpretation and reproduction of significant events and states. Autobiographical memory always operates with a “personally related experience”. Personality differences are always manifested in autobiographical memories. They are of great interest to researchers. The purpose of the article is to find out the personality differences of autobiographical memory. Materials and Methods. Theoretical analysis of literature on the research problem; the free retrieval of events technique, The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) by Raymond B. Cattell (Form-C); correlation analysis. Results. The authors conducted an empirical study, which involved people aged 18 to 82 years. The results of the study allow saying about the personal differences of autobiographical memory in terms of the number of reproduced events with different signs and events from diverse fields of life. Confident, calm, emotionally stable people tend to remember the positive events (from free event replay list) more, unlike restless, emotionally unstable and underconfident people. The relationships between personal characteristics and the number of memories from various fields of life were revealed. Discussion and Conclusions. The autobiographical memory as a kind of long-term memory organized according to the semantic principle provides for each person the formation of the past subjective history and the experience of oneself as a unique subject. The obtained data can be used in the practice of the consulting psychologist, in the process of student’s education in general psychology, personality psychology and differential psychology courses. Keywords: autobiographical memory, event retrieval, personality, positive memories, negative memories, neutral memories, fields of life.

Abstract:

Communication represents an essential skill in nurse managers’ performance of everyday activities to ensure a good coordination of the team, since it focuses on the transmission of information in an understandable way. At the same time, anxiety is an emotion that can be caused by demanding and stressful work environments, such as those of nurse managers. The aim of the present study was to analyze the impact of anxiety management on nurse managers’ communication skills. The sample comprised 90 nursing supervisors from hospitals in Madrid, Spain; 77.8% were women, and 22.2% were men, with an average of 10.9 years of experience as nursing supervisors. The instruments used for analysis were the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire: version five (16PF5) and State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaires, validated for the Spanish population. The results showed that emotional stability was negatively affected by anxiety (r = −0.43; p = 0.001), while apprehension was positively affected (r = 0.382; p = 0.000). Nursing supervisors, as managers, were found to possess a series of personality factors and skills to manage stress and communication situations that prevent them from being influenced by social pressure and the opinion of others.

Abstract:

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the current state of higher education, which leads to the need to take a fresh look at the problems of training specialists, the formation of the intellectual and creative potential of the individual, as well as the problem of the formation of psychological readiness for professional activity. The study was carried out at The Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia (N = 113), using the following methods: “Self-assessment of readiness for professional activity”, R. Cattell's 16-factor personality questionnaire (Sixteen Personaflity Factor Questionnaire, 16PF); Methodology for diagnosing value orientations in a career "Anchors of a Career" (E. Shein, translation and adaptation by V.A. Chiker, V.E. Vinokurov); Methodology for the diagnosis of socio-psychological attitudes of the individual in the motivational-need-sphere O.F. Potemkina. The study used the methods of mathematical statistics: comparative (t - Student's test) and factor analysis (principal component method). The processing of the research results was carried out using the statistical package SPSS 12.0. It was revealed that in the group of students working in the specialty, the actual level of development of psychological readiness for professional activity was 30%, potential – 65%, elementary – 5%. In the group of students not working in the specialty, the current level of readiness development was 20%, potential – 50% and elementary level – 30%. Reliably significant differences were revealed in terms of the following indicators: "C – emotional stability" (t = 3.649; p <0.001), "E – dominance" (t = 3.827; p <0.001) and "O – anxiety" (t = -7.672; p <0.001); “Professional competence” (t = 4.009; p <0.001), “Management” (t = 3.019; p <0.01), “Autonomy” (t = 3.889; p <0.001), “Service” (t = 3.674; p <0.01); “Result orientation” (t = 5.740; p <0.001), “Altruism orientation” (t = 3.220; p <0.01), “Work orientation” (t = 4.216; p <0.001). The following factors of psychological readiness for professional activity are highlighted: "A high level of development of the emotional-volitional sphere" (17%) is determined by the adequacy of self-esteem, emotional stability, self-confidence, optimal emotional tone and stress resistance; "Independence in building a career" (15%) – reflects the desire for maximum liberation from organizational rules, the desire for an independent career on their own, the desire to achieve results in their activities despite the fuss, hindrances, failures; "Implementation of socially significant goals" (14%) – reflects the presence of such values as: "helping people", "the desire to make the world a better place", "serving humanity", the desire to be a master of his craft, work and make decisions together with others; "Position in interpersonal communication" (13%) – characterizes the system of behaviors that facilitate social interaction and based on adaptation, integration of social and personal experience. In connection with the results obtained, it is proposed to create and implement a practice-oriented program for the formation of the psychological readiness of graduates of a pedagogical university for professional activity.

Abstract:

This study was aimed at: (a) developing an instrument for personality assessment according to Cattell’s model, in which the 16PF is based on; and (b) carrying out an empirical analysis of the internal structure of the instrument. Three hundred and forty seven people, mostly female (67.4%), attending higher education (62.5%) and aged between 16 and 66 (M = 25.69;SD = 8.90) participated in the study. One hundred and twenty items were created and an exploratory factor analysis of the main factors was carried out. Then, a parallel analysis, an exploratory full information factor analysis with categorical variables and an internal consistency analysis were performed. The results suggest that the instrument is composed of 12 factors of reasonable internal consistency rates. The model developed by Cattell helped to understand the structural organization found for the instrument, since there is coherency, especially in relation to more general terms (global factors).

Abstract:

In this study the Chinese version of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF; Cattell, Eber, & Tatsuoka, 1970; Dai & Zhu, 1988) was used to investigate the personality traits of 59 Chinese medical peacekeepers in Lebanon. Survey data were compared among 59 peacekeepers, 62 military personnel (control group 1), and 58 medical workers (control group 2). The social boldness, and abstractedness scores of peacekeepers were significantly lower than those of the military and medical worker groups. A secondary factor analysis of the 16PF revealed that the cowardice/decision scores of the peacekeeper group were between the scores of the other 2 groups. The peacekeepers showed lower warmth, social boldness, and abstractedness and higher self-reliance in personality traits. The results suggest that for future peacekeeping missions psychological personality selection should be conducted to recruit military personnel with higher scores of warmth and lower scores for self-reliance.

Abstract:

The second-order factors structure of the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) was cross-validated on a large sample ( N = 17,381) of normal males and females. Subjects were sampled across a broad range of ages, socioeconomic levels, education, geographic location, and ethnicity. The purposes of this investigation were (1) to provide a precise definition of 16PF second-order factor structure, (2) to shed additional light on the nature of two second-order factors that have been previously identified but described as “unstable” and “poorly reproduced,” and (3) to determine the extent to which common factor estimation formulas for men and women would prove satisfactory for applied work. The resulting solutions were congruent with previous studies and showed a high degree of simple structure. Support was provided for one, but not both, of the two additional second-order factors. Results also supported the use of simplified estimation formulas for applied use.

Abstract:

Patients affected by endstage liver disease and awaiting liver transplant suffer very stressful conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the personality and behavioral responses of a group of liver transplant candidates, 95 men ( M age 50 yr.) and of a group of 18 normal men ( M age 49 yr.). The 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire of Cattell, and the PSY Inventory for Behavioral Assessment were administered to assess personality and behavior. On the 16PF Questionnaire, patients had significantly different mean scores from normal subjects on Scale B– (low mental capacity), G (conformity), N (shrewdness), and Q1– (conservatism). They also showed a somewhat lower but not a statistically significant mean on Scale E (submissiveness). In addition, on the four second-order factors of the 16PF (Anxiety, Control, Pathemia, and Extraversion) patients had a significantly higher mean on Control. With respect to PSY Inventory factors, patients showed impairment in energy, sleep, sexual disturbances, and obsessive behaviors. It appears these patients with endstage liver disease, who were evaluated for liver transplant, showed psychological regressive functioning, i.e., high control and dependency on medical staff, submissiveness, which are interpretable as defensive responses to upcoming transplant.

Abstract:

This research utilizes the geometric structure of the two‐dimensional Interpersonal Circumplex (IPC), and adds the Five‐Factor Model (FFM) dimension of conscientiousness to create a three‐dimensional spherical model of personality; the interpersonal sphere (IPS). A sample of 250 participants was initially used to select items that conformed to the geometric locations of 26 different characteristics on the IPS. A separate sample of 251 participants confirmed the geometric structure of these characteristic measures using randomization tests. To demonstrate an application of this three‐dimensional model, the IPS was employed as a geometric taxonomy to map various personality constructs. The combined sample of 501 participants was used to cartographically locate 164 scales from the NEO Personality Inventory, (NEO‐PI‐R), the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire (MPQ), and the Jackson Personality Inventory (JPI‐R) onto the IPS. The spherical conception of traits provided by the three‐dimensional IPS is discussed as both an extension of the FFM and the two‐dimensional IPC. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract:

This study examined relationships between student personality and choice of traditional on-campus or online college classes. The personality profiles of online and on-campus students were determined using the Fifth Edition of the 16 Personality Factor (16PF) questionnaire. Students taking online classes scored higher than on-campus students on scales of abstract reasoning and apprehension, and lower on the scale for social boldness. Online students were also more comfortable with computers than on-campus students, and were more likely to be nontraditional students (26 and older). These data show that there are differences in personality, age, and computer experience between online and on-campus students and help to elucidate the characteristics of students selecting the online venue for college classes and/or curricula which are useful to instructors teaching on the Internet as well as companies working to architect these learning environments.

Abstract:

The ratio between second and fourth finger (2D:4D) is sexually dimorphic; it is lower in men than in women. Studies using broad personality domains yielded correlations of 2D:4D with neuroticism, extraversion or agreeableness, but the obtained results have been inconsistent. We correlated 2D:4D of 184 women and 101 men with their scores in Cattell's 16 Personality Factor (16PF) Questionnaire. We found women with a higher (more ‘feminine’) right hand 2D:4D to score lower in emotional stability and social boldness and higher in privateness. Mediator analysis showed emotional stability to be probably primarily correlated with 2D:4D and to act as a mediator between 2D:4D and social boldness. Privateness appears to be mediated by an even more complex path. We discuss the usefulness of primary‐level personality questionnaires and mediator analyses in the investigation of psycho‐morphological associations. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract:

This paper examines the role of personality factors in academic achievement, specifically achievement in mathematics, using self-concept as a major aspect of personality. A sample of 21 high school students with advanced placement in mathematics were given Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF). A significantly high factor rating appeared on Factor E for the total group. Factor E (high end) is described as dominant, self-assured, assertive, independent, and bold. When the sample was separated by sex, additional factors began to emerge. Factor A (warm, outgoing) showed higher than average in the 13 boys while Factor O (anxious) emanated as higher than average in the 8 girls. Implications for teachers relative to students' personalities are discussed.

Abstract:

The relationship between personality and preference for use of the right or left hemisphere of the brain in cognitive processing was investigated. Lateral eye movements were recorded as 50 female and 20 male right-handed subjects considered questions requiring reflection. The questions were not obviously “verbal” or “spatial” in nature but did require differing levels of reflection. Questions requiring higher levels of reflection produced a higher rate of lateral eye movement responses. Percent right eye movement for individual subjects was then correlated with scores on the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, using both first-order factors and the second-order factor Cortertia, which has some face validity as describing the personality generally ascribed to those who produce mostly right lateral eye movements. No correlation was found between the preferred directions of eye movements and 16 PF factors, which suggests that the lateral eye movements reflect thinking and problem-solving strategies but are not associated with personality styles.

Abstract:

Introduction Psychological factors influence the morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases to the same extent as demographic and clinical factors, and the effectiveness of treatment is significantly associated with the patients' adherence. Male gender is associated with poor blood pressure control. Aim To identify the personality characteristics that determine compliance in adolescent boys with primary arterial hypertension. Materials and methods 30 boys between 13 and 17 years old (average age 14.6 ± 1.1 years) with primary arterial hypertension were examined. The compliance was evaluated using Girerd Questionnaire, type D (distress type) personality - using the DS-14 test, personality features - using the Cattell's 16 Personality Factors Test (16PF). Statistical processing of the study results was conducted using dispersion, correlation and factor analysis (main components method) with the help of “Statistica” software for Windows 8.0. Results In 3.7% of adolescents, high compliance was noted, in 37.0% - moderate level, and in 59.3% - low. The type D personality was found in 20.0% of the examined boys. Patients with type D personality had a significantly lower (p<0.05) compliance (4.67 ± 0.63 versus 2.55 ± 0.36 points). There was found a significant direct correlation between the degree of compliance reduction and the scores on “social oppression” according to the DS-14 test (r = 0.43; p<0.01) and inverse correlation - with the value of factor N (straightforwardness-diplomacy) of the 16PF (r = -0.43; p<0.05). There were found 3 main factors that explain almost 50% of the relationships of personality characteristics of boys with primary arterial hypertension. Factor 1 (distressing ability) was related to the degree of compliance reduction (0.60), scales “negative excitability” (0.52) and “social oppression” (0.66) of the DS-14 test. This factor was also correlated with such personality features as anxiety (0.70), independence (0.65), radicalism (0.61), hardness (0.75). Factor 2 (anxiety) was most closely associated with negative excitability (0.56), intenseness (0.81), developed reasoning (0.74), low self-esteem (0.56), tenderness (0.53), suspicion (0.51) and unsociability (0.56). Factor 3 (emotional stability) demonstrated a high factor load with emotional stability (0.80), consciousness (0.69), high self-control (0.77), practicality (0.65), self-confidence (0.50). Conclusion In adolescent boys, the reduction of compliance was mainly associated with a distressing type of personality, ignoring the social contacts, radicalism, which must be taken into account when developing a program of medical and psychological support for such patients.

Abstract:

Career counsellors have long known that occupational interests are often linked with abilities. We also know that if one has the ability, but not the interest, that ability will not be used. What happens, however, when one has an interest but not the right temperament or personality? I recently had the pleasure of seeing someone for career counselling who fell in this latter category. This individual (let us call her Ms S) came to my rooms with one burning question on her lips: “What's wrong with me? Why can't I keep a job? I was in my past job for 4 weeks and the one before that for 3 weeks. How do I hang on to a job?” Ms S had a secretarial background. She had been fired from her previous positions and was concerned whether she had the capacity to continue working in this field or whether she had somehow become too slow. After obtaining some background information, I asked Ms S to complete a battery of career counselling tests. Of special interest to this case was the results from both the Vocational Preference Indicator (VPI) and the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), which I shall discuss below.

Abstract:

The argument is presented that many commercial personality questionnaires occupy a similar common vector space. A data-set was obtained of scores for 204 persons on the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, the California Personality Inventory, the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, the Omnibus Personality Inventory, and the Adjective Check List. Quasifactor scores were generated from each inventory, based on the results of earlier work, as estimates of five broad variables hypothesized to define the common vector space across instruments. Factor analysis of the correlations among the resultant 23 variables was largely confirmatory of the hypothesized common vector space.

Abstract:

Attitudes toward older adults have been implicated as a variable likely to influence quality of life and care later in life. Given the trend toward an increase in the proportion of the population aged over 65 years in Canada, it is imperative to understand these attitudes. Prior researchers have indicated that personality traits are likely to influence individuals' attitudes. Therefore, we examined attitudes toward older adults and the personality correlates associated with these attitudes. Participants (N = 171 undergraduate students) completed the Kogan's Attitude toward Old People Scale and the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire. Overall positive attitudes toward older adults were observed. Evaluation of the data showed that positive attitudes were associated with elevated 16PF scores, specifically, for rule-consciousness, warmth, emotional stability, and tension, with women exhibiting particularly high levels of warmth. Additional findings related to exposure to older adults and perceptions of the older persons themselves are discussed.

Abstract:

The multivariate psychometric measurement of normal personality traits, transitory emotional states, and dynamic motivational factors has been made possible through the factor analytically validated instruments devised by Cattell and his associates. Previous research by Boyle, et al. has demonstrated that in accord with theory, all three instruments are measuring essentially separate psychological domains. While this quantitative evidence suggested that the multivariate instruments exhibit little measurement overlap with each other, nevertheless, it was not possible to ascertain the content similarities and differences from the canonical-redundancy analyses reported. Hence, the present study examines these qualitative characteristics in terms of the subscale data across each pair of instruments in turn. Results suggest that the slight measurement redundancy across instruments is due predominantly to the influence of a few subscales only.

RESUMEN Los objetivos de este trabajo han sido: estudiar la adecuación de los datos al modelo de cinco factores e identificar rasgos de personalidad en adolescentes que manifiestan tener diversas problemáticas. Para ello se utilizaron dos instrumentos de evaluación, el Cuestionario de Personalidad para Adolescentes (16PF-APQ) y el Cuestionario Autoaplicado de Síntomas (CAS), que se administraron a ciento ocho estudiantes de último curso de educación obligatoria. Los resultados señalan que la muestra se adecua al modelo de cinco factores y que hay rasgos de personalidad que parecen explicar mejor o predecir la presencia de ciertas problemáticas en la adolescencia. ABSTRACT The aim of this research is twofold. Firstly, it studies the adjustment of the data with the five-factor model. Secondly, it intends to describe and identify personality traits in adolescents who have manifested different problems in their daily life. For this purpose, two evaluation instruments were used: the Adolescent Personality Questionnaire (16PF-APQ) and the Adolescents Self-report of Symptoms (C.A.S.). This last one is based on Rogers, Bagby and Dickens’ instrument, Structured Interview Re- ported Symptoms (1990, 1991, 1992). These tests were administered to a sample of a hundred and eight students who were in their last year of compulsory secondary education. The results of the study suggest that the sample fits with the five factor model and that there are some personality traits that seem to explain the existence of life’s difficulties (questions concerning matters of anger or aggression, discouragement, worry, poor body image, alcohol or drugs, overall trouble, familiar context, scholar context and strategies coping). All the already mentioned results allow us to formulate certain indications or suggestions which would need to be taken into account in future research.

Abstract:

By means of stepwise multiple regression, 12 factors of the Marriage Role Questionnaire were regressed on factors of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire and 25 scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. The regressions were run with the predictor instruments separately and combined. Individually, the MMPI proved superior to the 16 PF in predicting to the factors of the Marriage Role Questionnaire. However, in six cases out of the 12 predictability improved substantially when both instruments were utilized together. Some of the substantive results of this investigation match findings from previous research.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to examine the nature of a social desirability measure under two different types of instructions for filling out personality questionnaires in an occupational selection setting. 1230 male applicants for public vehicle driving licences were administered Cattett's 16PF and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups. One was given standard instructions for filling out these questionnaires; the second was given special instructions designed to reduce social desirability response bias. Social desirability was indexed by the Lie scale of the EPQ. Based on Eysenck's theorizing concerning the meaning of the Lie scale, the following hypothesis was tested: the factorial location of the Lie scale in the personality domain will differ under the two forms of instructions. It should appear separately from other personality factors under the standard instructions, whereas under the special instructions it should be subsumed under the personality factor which measures conformity. The results supported this hypothesis. The discussion focuses on the meaning of the Lie scale under conditions that elicit social desirability bias and on the role of special instructions in reducing this bias.

Abstract:

The reliability and the validity of a Japanese version of the short-form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire—Revised were examined for 329 college students and 253 adults. Coefficient alpha reliabilities for the four scales (Psychoticism, Extraversion/Introversion, Neuroticism, and Lie) were greater than 0.71 except for Psychoticism. Test-retest reliability of the four scales over 6 months ranged from 0.70 to 0.85, indicating a substantial stability. A confirmatory factor analysis supported the original theoretical structure of the four personality dimensions as proposed by Eysenck, Eysenck, and Barrett in 1985. Concurrent validity of the revised short-form was evaluated through the comparison of the four scores with the scores on the Maudsley Personality Inventory and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Over-all, the Japanese version of the revised short-form appears to be comparable to the original English version and would be useful for measuring personality in a wide range of settings.

Abstract:

In contrast to traditional researches that involve a manual, non-quantitative, and subjective way of performing handwriting analysis, in the current research, a special computer-aided method of revised handwriting analysis is used. It includes the detection of personality traits via manual quantitative registration of handwriting signs and their automated quantitative evaluation. This method is based on a mathematical–statistical model that integrates multiple international publications on the evaluation of handwriting signs. The first aim is the validation of the revised method against the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire Revised (16PF-R), which is performed as a self-report personality test by test persons and was developed and researched empirically by Raymond B. Cattell et al. A second aim is the development of an integrated model for assessment including handwriting analysis: when both methods come to the same result on a certain scale, then the construct can be accepted with higher reliability; in contrast, when results are contradictory, they should be regarded as a limitation of each method and raise awareness in the researchers, as these contradictions are a precious source of additional information regarding the complexity, ambiguity, and context specificity of personality traits.

Of the four predetermined criteria, only the relationship to emotional stability was significant. Two of the 12 relationships expected to be nonsignificant were significant. The correlations obtained in this study and in two others were so low that the construct validity for the tests of honesty in relation to the chosen personality traits could not be confirmed.

Abstract:

Objective: The five-factor model of personality was used to describe the correlates of smoking abstinence. Methods: Following treatment in the Mayo Clinic Nicotine Dependence Center, the six month abstinence status was determined by self-report. Sixteen months to 2.4 years following the initial treatment evaluation, and 10 months to 1.9 years after the abstinence status was determined, 475 patients were mailed a Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Five-Factor Inventory questionnaire. Ninety-nine abstinent and 151 smoking patients returned a completed questionnaire. Results: Multivariate analysis showed that low scores on neuroticism and openness were associated with tobacco abstinence. In addition, high scores on neuroticism and low scores on agreeableness and conscientiousness were associated with predictors of poor outcome including greater number of cigarettes smoked per day, initiation of smoking prior to age 18, and a Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence score of ≥ 6. Conclusions: Personality characteristics as predictors of smoking abstinence following treatment warrant further investigation in prospective clinical trails. Treatment matching using personality profiling as a guide may be a valuable tool for improving abstinence rates following treatment for nicotine dependence.

For this purpose, the method Cattell (16PF, scale C), the diagnostic questionnaire of personality status and traits (FPI), a questionnaire of Otto Lipmann (1 variant), the questionnaire of "The level of subjective control," by J. Rotter have been used. While studying, it was underlined that master students possess: increased externalities trends in personal and industrial relations (i.e., the main areas for the teacher relationship), strengthening conservative tendencies in behavior, as opposed to radicalism and other professional qualities for teaching and research activities. Successful undergraduate is characterized by a greater tendency to depression, compared to less successful, he is more sensitive, competent, internality, and responsible for achieving, and creative. It was noted that the factor structure of variant individuality-personal features of undergraduates includes the factors of "professional competence," "professional motivation," and "professional internality."

The relationship between some personality factors and accident risk. The aim of this research was to study the relationship between personality and accident-risk driving behaviour in order to make recommendations for the selection of professional drivers. A test battery comprising a biographical and an opinion questionnaire, the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, the Picture Situation Test, an attitude scale to measure aggression and an information-processing test was administered to 199 coloured bus drivers. The test group was divided into three subgroups according to involvement in and degree of seriousness of the accidents. By means of step-wise multiple regression analyses a formula was developed according to which accident risk could be predicted on the basis of certain personality traits. These traits, when combined with an aggressive attitude in a road safety situation, were dominance, carefreeness, emotional sensitivity and shrewdness.

10 men and 12 women joggers who had recently completed assessment of their aerobic capacity, were given the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, the Activation-Deactivation Adjective Check List, and Scales K, 2, 7, 9, and 9–2 (Psychomotor acceleration) from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Multiple regression equations were constructed separately for each sex to determine the effect of statistical control of psychological states on the correlations between aerobic capacity and personality traits. The correlations between aerobic capacity and Factor B (Intelligence) for men and Factor C (Emotionality) for women, were substantially reduced when state variables were controlled, while correlations between aerobic capacity and Factors M (Imagination) for men and Q1 (Experimenting) for women were substantially enhanced by controlling for state variables. The results were interpreted as support for study of state variables as mediating factors in the relationship between physical fitness and personality. Replication with larger samples is necessary.

Abstract:

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), based on motor imagery, are increasingly used in neurorehabilitation. However, some people cannot control BCI, predictors of this are the features of brain activity and personality traits. It is not known whether the success of BCI control is related to interhemispheric asymmetry. The study was conducted on 44 BCI-naive subjects and included one BCI session, EEG-analysis, 16PF Cattell Questionnaire, estimation of latent left-handedness, and of subjective complexity of real and imagery movements. The success of brain states recognition during imagination of left hand (LH) movement compared to the rest is higher in reserved, practical, skeptical, and not very sociable individuals. Extraversion, liveliness, and dominance are significant for the imagination of right hand (RH) movements in “pure” right-handers, and sensitivity in latent left-handers. Subjective complexity of real LH and of imagery RH movements correlates with the success of brain states recognition in the imagination of movement of LH compared to RH and depends on the level of handedness. Thus, the level of handedness is the factor influencing the success of BCI control. The data are supposed to be connected with hemispheric differences in motor control, lateralization of dopamine, and may be important for rehabilitation of patients after a stroke.

Abstract:

The archetype of the personality is studied from the position of the culturological analysis, but its psychological component is not investigated. It should be noted that the archetype is capable to predetermine the behavior of the person; therefore, researching of an archetype of the personality is topical. The paper presents the results of the empirical research conducted with the help of “12 archetypes” test (K. Pearson and H. Marr). This test defines the dominating archetype of the personality, but its results are low-informative. 120 students of the Pacific State Medical University (60 young men and 60 girls at the age of 20 – 25 years) participated in the research. In the research “12 archetypes” test (K. Pearson and H. Marr), Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, R. Kettell’s Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (Form C) and V. I. Garbuzov’s questionnaire for diagnostics of the dominating instinct were used. The results allowed expanding the test. Detailed descriptive characteristics of each archetype of Pearson’s system were received.
