An iterative factor analysis was performed on the scores obtained from a Motivational Adjective Check List (MACL) for a combined sample of undergraduate male and female students ( N = 202). The initial matrix of significant factors was totated according to the quartimax, varimax, and equamax procedures. The promax rotation was, then, performed on each of the three orthogonal solutions obtaining the promax-quartimax, promax-varimax, and promax-equamax solutions. Interpretation of factors was based on the promax-equa max solution and the factors obtained were: striving and assertion.

An iterative factor analysis was performed on the scores obtained from a Motivational Adjective Check List (MACL) ( N = 102 undergraduate female students). The initial matrix of significant factors was rotated according to the quartimax, varimax, and equamax procedures. The promax rotation was then performed on each of the three orthogonal solutions obtaining the promax-quartimax, promax-varimax, and promax-equamax solutions. Interpretation of factors was based on the promax-equamax solution and the factors obtained were: dedication, persistence, self-confidence, assertion, striving, individuality, and pursuance.

Significant Factors

An iterative factor analysis was performed on the scores obtained from a Motivational Adjective Check List (MACL) ( N = 100 undergraduate male students). The initial matrix of significant factors was rotated according to the quartimax, varimax, and equamax procedures. The promax rotation was, then, performed on each of the three orthogonal solutions. Interpretation of factors was based on the promax solution of the equamax rotation. The factors obtained were integrativeness, striving, poise, and independence.

Two studies of the Revised NEO‐Personality Inventory (NEO‐PI‐R) conducted on two different applicant samples (one consisting of 539 female subjects and the other consisting of 396 male subjects) are reported. Factor analysis of the female sample yielded a five‐factor solution, highly congruent with the factors presented by Costa, McCrae and Dye (1991). Results of the male data were less clear‐cut, yielding four to five factors which were moderately congruent with the American data. The combined male and female sample showed again high congruence coefficients. Various minor deviations in the location of the facet variables are discussed.

Male and female undergraduates were administered the Gough-Heilbrun Adjective Check List and a questionnaire assessing menstrual regularity. The females' reported regularity was positively correlated with scales for self-control, order, and endurance, demonstrating that women who describe themselves as orderly, methodical, persevering, and dependable are more likely to report a regular menstrual cycle than women reporting an irregular cycle. In contrast, men who projected themselves as women showed a negative relationship between orderly, rigid, and methodical behaviors and regular cycles.

To measure the need to achieve (n Ach), a questionnaire was constructed which required the subject to make a forced choice on each of 30 pairs of adjectives. Half the adjectives were based on the Need for Achievement scale and the other half on the Need for Affiliation scale of Gough's Adjective Check List. When the questionnaire was scored in the n Ach direction, differences between sex and age groupings of college students were negligible and nonsignificant, but scores for males were positively and significantly correlated with grades on midterms and GPA, whereas correlations for female students were low, positive, and significant only at the 10% level. Bank tellers' n Ach scores correlated positively with supervisors' ratings and were significantly lower than those of college students. Expectant mothers were the lowest scoring group on n Ach, while male Chinese-speaking immigrants under 30 scored the highest. Results were considered to be consistent with previous research and with expectations based on common sense and everyday impressions.

30 male and 30 female students rated a female photographed with either an attractive or an unattractive male on 8 bipolar adjective scales. The female was rated more positively when paired with an attractive male than when paired with an unattractive male on 6 of the 8 adjective scales. There were no significant differences between the ratings given by male and female subjects and no significant interactions.

In an educational world, communication is seen as a necessity,as education is a communication process. When communicating, the EFL students often face many obstacles that make them use communication strategies. However, in the same time, theyare required to use the appropriate strategies, as the use of communication strategies contribute to the development of their communicative competence.There are several factors affecting the use of communication strategies by the EFL learners,one of them is gender. Communication between men and women in the classroom is considered as cross-cultural which potentially causes communication breakdown. Pertaining to this problem, this study was conducted to provide answers about the types of communication strategies used by male and female students to overcome their communication problems, and revealing the reasons why they used the strategies. The investigation is based on Bailystock (1990) classification of communication strategies. The study employed a qualitative research design. The subjects were the students who enrolled in Speaking IVcourse of the English Department of STAIN Gajah Putih Takengon. The data were collected through communication tasks (oral presentations), observations, interviews and video recordings. The findings showed that the male and female subjects used L1-based and L2-based communication strategies. Male subjects used mostly the L1-based communication strategies, meanwhile the female subjects dominantly employed the L-2 based communication strategies.The findings also indicated that the male subjects used more L1-based strategiesto help them reaching the communication goal rather than the communicationeffectiveness. In contrast, female subjects dominantly used L2-based strategies to communicate effectively.To sum up, the subjects still used the strategies, which are not beneficial to the development of their communicative competence. Therefore, these findings finally leads to a suggestion thatthe teachers should consider introducing the appropriate communication strategies to make students communicate effectively by incorporating them in the teaching and learning through the classroom activities.

This study investigated the effects of attitude, sex of subject, sex of invader, plane of approach, and approach trial on personal space using nonverbal, verbal, and projective measures. 10 male and 10 female subjects were approached from the front and side by a male and female invader who projected one of three attitudes: a positive, affable manner; a neutral, impartial manner; or a negative hostile manner. The factorial analysis indicated effects of sex of invader, plane of approach, and several interactions of these factors with sex of subject. These results were interpreted in terms of societal norms and potential physical and psychological threat. The observed effects of attitude were hypothesized to be a function of the different socialization processes for males and females.

A description of those characteristics comprising the male and female stereotypes, using the Adjective Check List (ACL), was obtained from a group of young Indian adults. A different group independently evaluated the traits (adjectives) of the ACL. The results revealed a description of the male and female stereotypes; a substantial lack of agreement between the sexes with respect to the features characteristics of each sex; and a differential evaluation by the sexes of the male and female stereotypes. These results were discussed in terms of their experimental and practical implications.
