Rotter's I-E Scale was administered to 48 male and 48 female undergraduates. A factor analysis yielded three dimensions of internality-externality: success in life, future events, and politics. A multivariate analysis of variance using these three factors as dependent measures yielded no sex differences when all three factors were considered simultaneously. However, women were significantly more external on the success in life dimension. No sex differences were found on the other factors. It was suggested that the slight but consistent sex differences identified in previous research may be explained in light of the multidimensional nature of the I-E Scale.

ABSTRACTThe effect of rate of growth on the development of animals is examined in terms of it being related to variation from a pattern of development described by the allometric hypothesis. For this purpose, aliometry is expressed in terms of an extension to the shape/size concept originally proposed by Mosimann.It is shown that such an effect of rate of growth would bias estimates of the development pattern, depending on the experimental design. However, within the framework of the method, a procedure for both removing the bias and actually estimating the effect of rate of growth on development is available.A previously described test for one type of deviation from aliometry is shown to be incorrect by simulation.An alternative test for the adequacy of the allometry hypothesis is developed, based on factor analysis of residual matrices from multivariate analysis of variance (the latter being used so that effects of treatment and concomitant variables can be taken into account).

280 Italian undergraduates (90 men and 190 women), ages 18 to 30 years, rated a warm, cold, jealous, or envious stimulus person on 15 7-point semantic differential scales. Varying the sex of the stimulus person, 8 different versions of the description were obtained. Factor analysis, carried out to identify a smaller set of non-redundant dimensions, yielded three factors. A multivariate analysis of variance, 4 (warm, cold, jealous, envious) × 2 (male stimulus person, female stimulus person) × 2 (male respondents, female respondents), indicated significant effects for the variable “trait” on the first and second factors, an interaction between the sex of the stimulus person and the sex of the respondent on the first factor, and an effect for the sex of the respondent on the second factor. The traits “envious” and “jealous” acted as central qualities, and the sex of the stimulus person and of the respondent played an important role in impression formation. Further implications of the finding were discussed.

The aim of the analysis was to find out how future kinesiologists assess the importance of 15 foreign languages in sports management. The sample was comprised of 70 male and female students from the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb. The results showed that most of the students had learned English and German, and for the longest period. As many as 62.86% had learned two foreign languages, whereas 20% had learned three, 10% had learned only one, and only 7.14% had learned four foreign languages. The students assessed the command of English and German as the most important asset for work in sports management. The factor analysis yielded three latent dimensions interpreted on the basis of the aspects of tourism, success in sport, and economic power. By means of factor scores of the three obtained factors, a multivariate analysis of variance did not show differences between students’ assessment of the importance of the 15 foreign languages based on the number of foreign languages they had learned.

This study examines the expression of selflessness – the tendency to ignore one’s own needs and serve others’ needs – in Rorschach protocols of women suffering from anorexia nervosa. The protocols of 35 women suffering from anorexia nervosa were compared to 30 protocols of a psychiatric comparison group. A multivariate analysis of variance over five variables (AG, PER, PHR, COP, and GHR) was significant: Anorexic patients showed higher characteristics of selflessness compared to the psychiatric comparison group. These findings contribute to the validation of the Rorschach technique and to the clinical observation of selflessness in anorexic patients, and they emphasize specific characteristics in the treatment of anorexia nervosa patients.

Interactions of attention and verbalization were investigated for effects of self-reported arousal and state-anxiety. Levels of verbalization from silence through talking-without-a-listener to disclosure were compared while self-directed attention was manipulated for sensation versus general thoughts and feelings. Following a stimulus, disclosure of sensations was expected to reduce state anxiety and increase energetic arousal significantly more than disclosure of thoughts. Based on a randomly assigned sample of 120 men, a 3 × 2 × 2 multivariate analysis of variance indicated a significant interaction in the predicted directions. A significant interaction was also found for the 3 × 2 interaction for energetic arousal. For state anxiety means were in the predicted direction. Results indicate that verbalization of sensations is more energizing and calming than silence, while for general thought, silence is more energizing and calming than verbalization. The results suggest efficacy in reframing self-talk to quiet awareness and in communicating sensed distinctions as they emerge.

This paper identifies the leading causes for large variations in the calculated fatigue lives of the hypothetical pitch link experiment of the American Helicopter Society, conducted in cooperation with all U.S. manufacturers of military helicopters. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) is used to show that approximately 85 percent of the variations can be attributed to only two of the five analytical steps involved and the interactions between them. These steps are the method of cycle counting and the amount of S/N curve reduction.

Multivariate analysis of variance revealed a significant relationship between student ratings and curriculum area but not between ratings and course format. The technical and practical ramifications of these findings are discussed.

Rivers as barriers to dispersal and past forest refugia are two of the hypotheses proposed to explain the patterns of biodiversity in the Atlantic Forest. It has recently been shown that possible past refugia correspond to bioclimatically different regions, so we tested whether patterns of shared distribution of bird taxa in the Atlantic Forest are 1) limited by the Doce and São Francisco rivers or 2) associated with the bioclimatically different southern and northeastern regions. We catalogued lists of forest birds from 45 locations, 36 in the Atlantic forest and nine in Amazon, and used parsimony analysis of endemicity to identify groups of shared taxa. We also compared differences between these groups by permutational multivariate analysis of variance and identified the species that best supported the resulting groups. The results showed that the distribution of forest birds is divided into two main regions in the Atlantic Forest, the first with more southern localities and the second with northeastern localities. This distributional pattern is not delimited by riverbanks, but it may be associated with bioclimatic units, surrogated by altitude, that maintain current environmental differences between two main regions on Atlantic Forest and may be related to phylogenetic histories of taxa supporting the two groups.
