Personal Attributes Questionnaire

The purpose of the present study was to test predictions derived from two different theoretical perspectives in order to achieve a better understanding of changes in career aspirations among gifted and talented young women. The sample consisted of 247 G/T young women who completed the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) and the Self Directed Search (SDS) in both their sophomore and junior years of high school. The results indicated that, while gender identity does appear to play a central role, adolescents' occupational interests, competencies and preferences do change and undergo refinement as a function of emerging instrumental and expressive self perceptions. Implications for counseling G/T young women are discussed.

Personal Attributes Questionnaire

The self perceptions of math ability and four social abilities reported by 284 gifted and talented female adolescents on the Self Directed Search (SDS) were examined to test two set of hypotheses. One set of hypotheses, derived from Bern's (1981) gender schema theory, rests upon the assumption that the Personal Attributes Questionnaire (PAQ) measures global constructs of masculinity and femininity. The second set of hypotheses was derived from Spence and Helmreich's (1978, 1981) interpretation of the PAQ M and F scales as measures of socioaffective instrumental and expressive traits. The results of both typological and regression analyses provided consistent support for the hypotheses derived from the socioaffective trait interpretation of the PAQ. Parallel regression analyses testing for interaction effects failed to support an hypothesized interaction between these two scales, which, even after partialling out the contribution of demonstrated leadership ability, contributed significantly to an understanding of observed differences in self perceptions of social abilities reported by gifted and talented young women.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.

Parental Modernity is an important aspect for the psycho-social development of the child. The present study aims to study the effect of parental modernity on rejection sensitivity and self-esteem of adolescents and the relationship between rejection sensitivity and self-esteem. The research is carried out on a sample of 240 parents (including 120 fathers and 120 mothers) and their 120 children. For observing the impact of modernity of parents on their children, Individual Modernity Scale was used and administered on father and mother. Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire and Self-Esteem Inventory were used to measure the rejection sensitivity and self-esteem of children (age ranges from 14 to 19 years). The results suggest that parental modernity has an effect on the rejection sensitivity and personally perceived self of the self – esteem of adolescents. Furthermore, the rejection sensitivity has been found negatively associated with self-esteem.
