Psychological Inventory

For a sample of 179 college students (18 to 69 yr. old), age was significantly correlated (.20 to .43) with the California Psychological Inventory scales of Dominance, Capacity for Status, Sociability, Sense of Well-being, Responsibility, Self-control, Tolerance, Good Impression, Achievement via Conformance, Achievement via Independence, Intellectual Efficiency, and Psychological-mindedness.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between death anxiety and psychosocial functioning of medical students. Subjects were 50 first-year students, with instruments including the Death Anxiety Scale and the California Psychological Inventory. Product-moment correlations computed between test scores indicated significant, negative relationships between death anxiety and the California Psychological Inventory measures of Well-being ( r = –.52), Good Impression ( r = –.43), Self-control ( r = –.30), and Tolerance ( r = –.29). These results suggest that increased death anxiety may be associated with somewhat compromised social performance.

This study assessed 87 maritally violent men (MV), 42 maritally nonviolent, maritally discordant men (NVD), and 48 maritally nonviolent, maritally satisfied men (NVS) on the California Psychological Inventory (CPI), a test of the normal personality. A MANOVA and subsequent range tests indicated that the NVD and NVS groups had significantly higher scores than the MV group on 10 of the 18 subscales: Responsibility, Socialization, Self-Control, Tolerance, Achievement via Conformance, Achievement via Independence, Good Impression, Intellectual Efficiency, and Psychological Mindedness. A discriminant analysis contrasting the MV group with the combined NVD and NVS group correctly classified 68% of the subjects and accounted for 20.94% of the variance between groups. Along with previous findings, the data indicated that maritally violent males exhibit different personality characteristics than maritally nonviolent men in three general areas: intimacy, impulsivity, and problemsolving skills. Many of these problem areas were significantly correlated with childhood violence experiences.

Negligible Influence

This study examined the correlations between age and scores on scales of the California Psychological Inventory for 1,137 accountants An analysis of within-scale score differences showed statistically significant correlations between age and Dominance, Capacity for Status, Sense of Well-being, Responsibility, Self-control, Good Impression, Achievement via Conformance, and Flexibility. Differences in direction of only three of the 28 correlation pairs found by the matching of scores on these scales and those reported by Gough in 1975 suggest that the latter intercorrelations are not sample- or situation-specific. Finally, age had only a negligible influence on the intercorrelations, allowing the inference that age has a direct rather than a moderating influence on these scores.

Psychological Inventory

Relationships of administrative position, age, educational preparation to scores on the CPI scales were studied in 1018 randomly selected registered nurses from 31 VA Hospitals. Significant correlations ( p < .05) were found between administrative position and Dominance, Responsibility, Self-control, Achievement via Independence, Psychological-mindedness, and Flexibility; between age and —Sociability, —Social Presence, —Self-acceptance, —Socialization, Self-control, Good Impression, — Communality, —Achievement via Independence, — Intellectual Efficiency, and —Flexibility; between educational preparation and Dominance, Capacity for Status, Sociability, Social Presence, Self-acceptance, Tolerance, Achievement via Independence, Intellectual Efficiency, Psychological-mindedness, and Flexibility. Eta coefficients indicated that relationships with CPI scales were linear. Administrative position, age, educational preparation were not highly intercorrelated. Highest CPI profiles were obtained by older better educated nurses in supervisory positions. Lowest profiles occurred in older supervisory nurses who had not pursued their education.

The study investigated the construct validity of the California Psychological Inventory person-orientation and value-orientation scales by examining their relationships to Eysenck's extraversion and neuroticism dimensions. Both inventories were administered to 211 undergraduate students. While there was obviously a moderate relationship of .51 to .54 between the Person Orientation scores and Eysenck's extraversion, only about 25% of the variance in each of the two scales was common. The magnitude of the relationship between the Value Orientation scale and neurotic-extravert/stable-introvert group membership was slightly greater.

The research featured various means of psychological and pedagogical support of college students from foster families aimed at developing their socio-psychological adaptation. The authors identified the key characteristics of the socio-psychological adaptability of underage orphan students. Students that spent less than a year in foster families combined adaptation with behavioral regulation and demonstrated communicative potential, long-term goals, interest in life, and a sense of purpose. They were active, strong, and satisfied with their self-realization and self-image. Their maladaptation disorders, as well as asthenic and psychotic reactions, were minimal. The key characteristics of the socio-psychological adaptation of minor students from foster families were manifested in the inverse relationship of maladaptation with the life process, locus of self-control, behavioral regulation, communicative potential, moral norms and maladaptation disorders. In underage students from orphanages, adaptation was associated with the locus of control – life, behavioral regulation and minimized asthenic reactions. The authors designed and tested a set of means of psychological and pedagogical support that improve the socio-psychological adaptation of students from foster families. The experiment demonstrated a positive dynamics in the level of adaptation, emotional comfort, sense of purpose, internality and personal adaptive potential, as well as a decrease in the level of maladaptation.

Rotter's Locus of Control measure was correlated with 18 standard and 4 new scales of the California Psychological Inventory in samples of 141 males and 220 females. The directions of relationship were the same for 21 of the 22 scales. For all 361 Ss, tolerance, good impression, and achievement via conformance each correlated −.35 with locus of control; anxiety had a coefficient of .24. A 5-scale regression equation was developed, including dominance, responsibility, tolerance, and good impression weighted negatively, and self-control weighted positively. In a new sample of 50 couples, locus-of-control scores estimated by means of this equation correlated .43 with actual locus of control for husbands and .44 with actual locus of control for wives. Descriptive implications of actual and estimated locus-of-control scores were more similar for wives than for husbands.
