Indian Students

The Hindi version of the Eysenck Personality Inventory and the Trait scale of the Hindi version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory were administered to 945 female Indian students ( M age = 20.4 yr., SD = 1.4) to study the personalities of those scoring low and high on the Lie scale, and the association of Lie scale scores in the intercorrelation between Impulsivity and Neuroticism under no motivation to fake good. The group with low scores on the Lie scale had lower scores on Impulsivity and higher scores on Neuroticism and Trait Anxiety than a group scoring high on the Lie scale. No association of Lie scale scores was observed with scores on Extraversion. Lie scale scores were differentially associated with scores on Impulsivity and Neuroticism. The need to consider the Lie scale in addition to other scales in studies of personality is emphasised.

SynopsisThirty chronic bronchitic patients with severe airways obstruction were individually matched with non-bronchitic controls from the general population. The 2 groups were compared using the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) to assess non-psychotic psychiatric disturbance, the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) to assess personality traits, and the Marlowe–Crowne (M–C) scale plus the L (Lie) scale of the EPI to assess social-desirability response set. Chronic bronchitic patients were both more psychiatrically disturbed and more neurotic in personality than were their matched controls; but there were no differences between the 2 groups on the personality trait of extraversion or on measure of social desirability response set. The results are discussed in the context of both chronic bronchitis specifically and chronic illness in general, and future investigations are proposed.

Eysenck Personality Inventory

Item validity of the nine-item Lie Scale of Eysenck Personality Inventory, Form A, from responses of 640 undergraduates was assessed. The corrected point-biserial correlations indicated that only two items were significantly valid across race and sex. The remaining seven items were valid for either race only or specific race-sex combinations. These results supported the hypothesis that social desirability in personality assessment may vary from one ethnic group to another and from one race-sex combination to another as well.

Low Correlation

Data from 138 college students showed that responses to the Kirton Adaption Innovation Inventory are unaffected by social desirability ( r = .03). A subsample of 47 students also completed the Eysenck Personality Inventory Lie scale. The low correlation reported by Kirton for these two instruments was successfully replicated.

To examine the differences between 162 adolescents' and 118 adults' scores on the Eysenck Personality Inventory 64 boys ( M age = 20 yr.), 94 girls ( M age = 18.9 yr.), 78 women ( M age = 29 yr.), and 40 men ( M age = 28.8 yr.) from Umtata and the vicinity in Transkei, South Africa were tested. Adolescents scored higher on social desirability than adults did.
