This article offers a critical review of various accepted premises of and persuasive interpretations on whether moral reasoning and personality traits are related. Purposely, this study draws on recent critical examination by Mudrack questioning the paucity of research on the efficacy of a long-established measure of moral reasoning, i.e., Defining Issues Test, together with its relations with basic personality variables of the California Psychological Inventory. Some observations are noted about the validity of tasks that measure personality traits and magnitude of the relation to moral reasoning.

Psychological Inventory

The purpose of this study was to explore the relations of empathy and socialization to moral reasoning and attitudes toward authority. 105 undergraduates completed the empathy and socialization scales of the California Psychological Inventory, the Defining Issues Test, and a questionnaire on which they rated two types of authority (public, impersonal and private, personal). Subjects' moral reasoning scores were correlated with both empathy and socialization. Also, principled moral reasoning, empathy, and socialization scores all had significant, inverse relations with subjects' ratings of authority. These results are congruent with Hogan's 1973 personality-based theory of moral reasoning and moral behavior.

Psychological Inventory

The purpose of this study was to utilize multiple regression to determine the relationship between scores on the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility and subscale scores of the California Psychological Inventory. Although 11 personality variables were significantly correlated to hypnotizability, when multiple regression was applied, only two remained. Responsibility and Psychological-mindedness were negatively related to scores on the Harvard scale and accounted for 18% of the variance. A mathematical predictor formula of hypnotizability was devised.

This article presents a simple methodology for manually converting 1957 California Psychological Inventory protocols to the 1987 version. This process permits utilization of current norms for prior administrations of the inventory and also allows computation of Gough's three new second-order (“structural”) personality variables and of several new scales which were not formally included in the 1957 version.

This study is aimed to show the influence of cognitive and non-cognitive factors on decisional efficiency through the design of a theoretical-explicative model and by testing it against reality. This model reflects the link between cognitive variables, personality variables and decisional performance. The participants in this study (N=88) are managers in a IT&C company and have an average age of 32.3 years and a average working seniority of 8.6 years, 74.9% being males and 25.1 % being females. The instruments used were California Psychological Inventory (CPI 260 items form), a questionnaire for assessing the decisional style, a decision making questionnaire, decisional skills test (BTPAC), and Raven standard test, Plus form, a questionnaire for assessing cognitive complexity and Melbourne decision making questionnaire. In order to evaluate decisional performance I developed an behaviorally anchored scale. The evaluation of cognitive competencies, defined in behavioral terms like decision making performance and cognitive complexity, together with the personality dimensions, help us to select managers with an increased adaptive orientation to organizational change and a better decisional performance

Psychological Inventory

The California Psychological Inventory and a Privacy Regulation Rating Scale were administered to 35 men and 40 women college students to estimate correlations between personality characteristics and attained privacy. The California Psychological Inventory measured 18 personality traits, and the rating scale assessed the amount of desired privacy actually achieved for six kinds of privacy: Reserve, Isolation, Solitude, Intimacy with Friends, Intimacy with Family, and Anonymity. Pearson product-moment correlations between the two sets of variables indicated distinct and meaningful personality profiles for people who were dissatisfied with their customary attainment of each kind of privacy. The profiles for men and women were dissimilar.

Factor and canonical correlation analyses were used to investigate possible relationships between achievement and personality variables. Data were obtained from the American College Testing Program Academic Test and the California Psychological Inventory profiles of 125 university students. The analyses indicated two common dimensions underlying the two sets of data. The first dimension included potential for achievement and positive interpersonal and intrapersonal characteristics. The second dimension included low interest in science, high verbal ability, and interpersonal warmth.
