Viable Treatment

Qigong meditation is an ancient form of meditation that has been linked with various health benefits. We were interested in whether or not this form of meditation has a relationship with personality. To this end, we administered the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) to eighty Qigong meditation practitioners and seventy-four non-practitioners. The results showed that the number of years of Qigong practice was negatively correlated with neuroticism, but there was no relationship with extraversion. Even after controlling for age, gender, and education level, the practitioners were significantly less neurotic than the nonpractitioners. The study of Qigong meditation and personality may lead to a greater understanding of the various disorders characterized by high neuroticism, and may provide a viable treatment option for long-term health.

The relationship between introversion, as measured by the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory, and salivation to lemon juice was examined with 10 boys and 10 girls at CA 8, 10, and 12. Boys salivated significantly more than girls to lemon juice stimulation ( P < .05), but comparable sex differences also occurred in salivation to water by control Ss. Introversion correlated .43 ( P < .01) with salivation for all 25 girls but not for boys (r = .19). Ss who were in the upper third of the total group on extraversion showed significantly less salivation to lemon juice than did Ss in the lower third ( P < .025), which is consistent with Eysenck's theoretical analysis.

The Relationship

The relationship between the frequency of the periodic characteristics of individual behaviour and Spearman's (1927) concept of oscillation is discussed in terms of Eysenck's concept of neuroricism. It is shown that the harmonic frequency derived from an individual's scores on a perceptual-motor task is related to his scores on the Eysenck Personality Inventory. This is considered grounds for reconsidering a concept of behavioural oscillation as a reliable personality dimension.

A laboratory study examined the relationship between individual differences in introversion/extraversion, values regarding control over personal information, and perceptions of invasion of privacy. 119 subjects were asked to complete the Eysenck Personality Inventory, a personal data questionnaire, a measure of values regarding control over information, and a measure of perceived invasion of privacy. Regression/correlational analyses indicated that both introversion and values regarding control over personal information were positively related to perceptions of invasion of privacy.

The relationship of academic achievement or grades with Eysenck Personality Inventory scores on Neuroticism and Introversion was examined. Contrary to theoretical expectations and previous studies, no significant differences among means were observed for 118 first-year South African university students (78 women and 40 men) whose mean ages were 29 yr. (women) and 28.8 yr. (men).

The Relationship

This study focused on the relationship between birth order, sex, and levels of adjustment of 120 male and 233 female adult college students (primarily graduate students). Subjects were approached in classes and asked to complete the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a personal data questionnaire. They were assigned to one of the three groups on the basis of their scores on the Neuroticism scale of the Eysenck Personality Inventory. A significant relationship between sex and ordinal position was found. Onlyborn males and firstborn females were overrepresented in the high neurotic group. In this same group, firstborn males and middle females were underrepresented. The distribution by sex and ordinal position in the average and low neuroticism groups was not different from chance. The present study supports the concept that there are birth-order differences with respect to sex and neuroticism.

Alcohol dependence is related with multiple etiological factors and one among those is personality of the individual. This study was undertaken to explore the relationship between type of personality and alcohol addiction. Samples of 30 patients who have been admitted for de addiction were taken for the study. Socio demographic proforma, alcohol history proforma, CAGE questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Inventory were administered. It was found that significantly high number of patients with alcohol dependence syndrome had ambivert (76.6%) and neurotic (70%) personality. There were very few introverts (3.3%) and none of them had mentally well balanced personality. Clinical and research implications of the study are discussed.

The Relationship

A cross-sectional survey was administered to Latino and White residents of Omaha, NE, to assess perception of the childhood obesity problem, attribution of responsibility, and support for obesity-related policies. The sample included 40.8% (n=271) Latinos and 59.2% (n=393) Whites. Among Latinos, 25% did not see childhood obesity as a problem, compared to 6% of Whites (P<0.001). This difference persisted after adjusting for age, gender, and education level (odds ratio (OR) 2.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–4.14). Latinos were more likely to agree that government was responsible for addressing childhood obesity compared to Whites (OR 2.81, 95% CI 1.82–4.35). Higher support for policy interventions was observed among individuals who perceived childhood obesity as a big problem compared to those who did not, independent of race, sex, age, or education level. The relationship between support for tax-based policies and perception of the childhood obesity problem was mainly evident among Latinos rather than Whites. Despite city-wide efforts to address obesity, differential penetration in community subgroups appears evident. There is room to further engage Latinos in the cause of obesity. Deepening community awareness about the consequences and complexity of childhood obesity can lead to stronger support for childhood obesity policy interventions.
