The relationship between altruism and aggression was investigated using behavioral measures for both variables. Results for 30 male college students supported previous findings indicating that these behaviors may be conceptualized as incompatible. Altruism was negatively correlated (— .56) with aggression and shown in other research to be positively correlated with favorable personality adjustment.

The relationship between conservatism and sexual responsivity was examined. Scores for 29 female and 28 male college students on socio-sexual fundamentalism ( r = −.28 for all Ss, −.49 for women) and socio-religious rigidity were negatively related to sexual responsivity ( r = −.40 for women) while intolerance to youth ( r = .49 for women only) was positively related.

The relationship of two-flash and absolute auditory threshold measures was studied in a sample of 65 male college students. The two-flash threshold showed sensitivity essentially unrelated to absolute auditory sensitivity ( r = .03). This result was contrasted with that reported by Hanback and Revelle who found a weak but significantly positive correlation for the sensitivity values for the two tasks.

Recent studies have suggested that, within Eysenck's dimensional model of personality, psychoticism rather than extraversion or neuroticism is fundamental to both positive religious attitude and frequency of religious practice. 1995 data of Maltby were further analysed to examine the relationship between the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Abbreviated and frequency of personal prayer and church attendance among 100 male college students in the USA. A significant negative association was found between scores on the Psychoticism scale and frequency of personal prayer, with lower Psychoticism scores being associated with greater frequency in personal prayer. However, no significant association was found between scores on the Psychoticism scale and frequency of church attendance or between frequency of personal prayer and frequency of church attendance. These findings therefore only partly replicate those of Maltby among female students in the USA and lend some further support to the view that psychoticism is fundamental to religiosity.
