In their recent paper on smoking and personality, McManus & Weeks (1982) administered the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and questionnaires regarding smoking to 100 subjects, and calculated correlations between the personality traits measured (psychoticism, extraversion, neuroticism, and lie scale scores) and smoking. Contrary to expectation, there was no correlation with extraversion (E), only slight correlation with neuroticism, but a significant correlation with psychoticism (P). They argue that the lack of correlation with E is due to the changed contents of the scale, which has been changed from earlier versions, such as the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI), by the omission of some impulsiveness items. They quote a paper by Rocklin & Revelle (1981) which argues in a similar vein.

For 62 students scores on the Barron-Welsh Art Scale, a measure of creativity, were correlated with scores on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. As predicted, psychoticism correlated positively with Art Scale scores, while extraversion and neuroticism did not.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the predictive effects of impulsivity levels and distinct personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion and psychotic) on metacognitive thoughts across a healthy population. The study was carried out with 69 university students who were selected randomly (60 female, 9 male; 18-28 ages). Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, MCQ-30 Metacognition Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-Short Form and a demographical information form were used for data collection. Regression analyses were used in data examining. Findings revealed a statistically significant positive effect of neuroticism on metacognition. According to statistical analysis, there was a predictive effect of non-planning subscale scores of impulsivity on cognitive awareness subscale scores of metacognition. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant predictive effect of attentional subscale scores of impulsivity on cognitive confidence subscale scores of metacognition scale. The results were discussed regarding the limitations of the study and the suggestions were provided for future studies. KeyWords: Metacognition, Impulsivity, Personality

This study aims to take an in-depth look at the role of personality traits and emotional intelligence in relation to organizational justice. The Italian version of the Organizational Justice Scale (OJS), the Italian version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised Short Form (EPQ-RS) and the Italian version of the Bar-On Emotional Quotient Inventory (Bar-On EQ-i) were administered to 241 nurses. The emotional intelligence dimensions add a significant percentage of incremental variance compared to variances due to personality traits with respect to organizational justice. The results highlight the role of emotional intelligence and its relationship with organizational justice, offering new research and intervention perspectives.

Personality Questionnaires

Three studies examined the influence of paperbacks about psychological self-help on responses to personality questionnaires. Each study consisted of a 2 × 3 design that varied presence or absence of a pretest on a personality questionnaire and an intervening treatment condition which involved reading either one of two self-help books or reading no book. The dependent measures were posttest scale scores on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, the Tennessee Self-concept Scale and the 16 Personality Factors questionnaire. The effects of 6 self-help paperbacks, tested in pairs, were examined over the 3 experiments. Multivariate analysis of variance showed that the reading condition was nonsignificant across all experiments while the pretest condition was a significant factor for only one questionnaire.

Communicative Strategies

Despite the fact that personality factors and learning strategies are of great importance in success with language learning, the link between extroversion and introversion and language-learning strategies has received little attention from researchers. Therefore, I investigated whether or not there is any correlation between these personality traits and language-learning strategies. Participants in the study were 106 extroverted and 94 introverted students. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and the Strategy Inventory for Second Language Learning (SILL) were employed. The findings indicated that, with the exception of communicative strategies, introverted learners used a greater range of metacognitive and cognitive strategies than did extroverted learners.

Psychosomatic Research

The Eysenck Personality Inventory (E.P.I.) was developed by Eysenck and Eysenck (1964) to measure two dimensions of personality—extraversion (E) and neuroticism (N). This personality questionnaire has been extensively used in clinical practice and psychosomatic research. In our own department we have been using the E.P.I. as a tool in some psychosomatic investigations, which have been reported in various journals (Verghese, 1970, 1971; Verghese et al. (1971a), (1971b).

Final Grades

Two intakes of first year students (N = 54 and N = 60) were given the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1985) soon after arriving at university. Three years later they wrote their final examinations consisting of seven three-hour papers. Results showed that students high on Neuroticism were more likely to write their examinations in the health center or to provide a doctor's note than were students low on Neuroticism. There was no difference in Extraversion, Psychoticism or Lie scale scores in their final grades.
