Correlations between irrationality as measured by the Common Belief Survey, and locus of control, as measured by Levenson's locus of control scale, were small though significant among 49 male and 89 female college students. The Common Belief Survey was also correlated with sex. The need for further validation of the Common Belief Survey was discussed.

The common evaluating indicators of female physical beauty aren’t able to point out which parts and how many sizes need to be reshaped. So, other indicators must be introduced, which are present proportions of the perfect body, some critical parts are selected. Unmarried female college students, 18-25, are chosen in the experiment and their sizes of BWH are collected by non-contact 3D body scanning apparatus. Compared with the best proportions, some need breast implants and waist diminution; others need hip implants and waist diminution. Then, the relevant data is analyzed in SPSS software, refer to the national shape standard of reshape underwear and two kinds of females are separately classified to four categories. It may be helpful to provide adjusted sizes of reshape underwear in industrial production.

51 male and 45 female college students were given Rotter's I-E questionnaire and then allowed to volunteer to earn extra credit by attempting either a task for which supposedly skill determined outcome or one for which outcome supposedly was governed by chance. There was a significant correlation between I-E score and number of choices of skilled task. There was a non-significant difference between males' and females' I-E scores. An initially significant difference between males' and females' number of skill choices disappeared when the effect of differences in I-E scores was removed through analysis of covariance. Non-volunteers scored significantly more external than volunteers.
