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.

105 female social workers described themselves using Gough and Heilbrun's Adjective Check List. They scored higher on Achievement, Endurance, Dominance, Self-control, Order, Self-confidence, Defensiveness, Personal Adjustment, and Aggression among other variables and lower on Number of Unfavorable Adjectives Checked, Affiliation, and Succorance than the norms for females.

Negligible Influence

This study investigated the relationships between age and performance on scale scores for the Adjective Check List for a group of 206 nursing personnel. An analysis of within scale score differences showed statistically significant relationships between age and Self-control, Lability, Heterosexuality, Change, and Counseling Readiness. Differences between the directionality of 5 of the 10 correlation pairs formed by the matching of these scales and those reported by Gough and Heilbrun (1965) suggested that the latter intercorrelations may be sample and/or situationally specific. Finally, age had only a negligible influence on the intercorrelations examined, thus implying that age has a direct rather than a moderating influence on performance.

Female Subjects

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.

Descriptive Scale

A review of literature suggests that creativity and authoritarianism are negatively correlated. Based on a validation study by Ray and Lovejoy in 1983 in which need for achievement and dominance were offered as better predictors of authoritarian behaviors than traditional authoritarianism scales, we examined this relationship using a projective test for Need for Achievement (the Thematic Apperception Test) and a self-descriptive scale (the Adjective Check List) which produced multiple measures of achievement plus scores on dominance and creativity. The anticipated negative relationship between creativity and this operationalization of authoritarianism was not produced by any of the measures. Instead, we replicated Gough and Heilbrun's 1983 data in which dominance and achievement are positively related to creativity. The results are discussed in terms of how researchers might examine the relations between authoritarianism and creativity as the social psychology of creativity.

Practical Implications

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.

Normative data are presented for a male prison population on the Adjective Check List (Gough & Heilbrun, 1965), Form A of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975) and Form C of the Depression Adjective Check List (Lubin, 1967). The intercorrelations among the instruments also are presented. In the sample were 60 recently admitted male inmates of a maximum security correctional institution randomly drawn from a larger sample of 205 consecutive admissions. Subjects describe themselves as markedly depressed, high on neuroticism, low in personal adjustment, low in self-confidence, and low in self-control.

16 obese patients in a volunteer program of weight reduction were given the Adjective Check List (ACL) and the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) prior to beginning weight reduction. The patients were from 64.6% to 214.7% overweight. It was predicted that they would score lower than the normative group on the Achievement, Affiliation, Dominance, Endurance, Order, Personal adjustment, and Self-control scales, while higher scores were predicted for the Aggression, Exhibitionism, Heterosexuality, and Intraception scales. The predictions were upheld. In addition, the obese sample checked a significantly fewer number of Favorable Adjectives than did the normative group and more descriptive adjectives pertaining to Autonomy.

Research Findings

This study aims to describe male and female stereotypes based on the perceptions of students from ten ethnic groups in Indonesia and agreed upon by all of them and to compare such stereotypes with the research findings by Best and William. The respondents were students from ten ethnic groups, i.e. Jawa, Papua,Sunda, Bali, Madura, Lombok, Batak, Minangkabau, Aceh, dan Betawi. The survey employed a questionnaire with fifty adjectives representing characters referring to the study by Best and William. The data were descriptively analyzed using tabulation and percentage. The findings are as follows. First, students from each ethnic group have a variety of perceptions regarding male and female stereotypes agreed upon. Second, there are a number of male and female stereotypes agreed upon by students from all ethnic groups. Third, the male stereotypes relevant to the study by Best and Williams are strength, dominance, autonomy, and aggression. The female stereotypes relevant to both studies are passiveness, weakness, and abasement.

Low Magnitude

The relationship between role stress, i.e., role ambiguity and role conflict, and personality as measured by Gough and Heilbrun's (1965) Adjective Check List was examined on the basis of data drawn from 202 nursing personnel. Experienced role ambiguity correlated .17 with defensiveness, .15 with self-control, .13 with endurance, —.13 with order, —.15 with nurturance, .20 with aggression, and —.17 with deference, while role conflict was significantly related .12 with exhibition. These correlations (all significant statistically but of low magnitude) were interpreted in light of previous findings.
