The present study sought to determine whether level of political activism of 126 male college students mediates the relationship between political ideology and self-concept. The expected interactions did not obtain; however, both ideology and activism were significantly related to self-concept, with liberals and activists indicating more positive self-regard.

101 male college students were administered the Franck Drawing Completion Test and Tennessee Self-concept Scale to determine to what degree the self-concept and sexual identification are related. It was hypothesized that individuals with clearer sexual identification have more positive self-concepts. The results did not support the hypothesis, because the correlations were nonsignificant. The reasons were evaluated, among which the possibility that the self-concept scale lacks validity was given a more prominent consideration.

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 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.
