This study examined the relationships, using regression analysis, among bulimic symptomatology, body-image characteristics, and personality factors in a nonclinical sample of 46 undergraduate university men. They completed the Bulimia Test—Revised (a measure of bulimic symptomatology), the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire–Revised (a measure of personality characteristics), and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (a multidimensional measure of body-image parameters). Statistically significant relationships were identified among Appearance Evaluation, Neuroticism and Psychoticism, and the BULIT-R scores.

A nonclinical sample of 102 women students were given the BULIT—R to measure bulimic symptomatology and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire, a multidimensional measure of body-image parameters. Statistically significant relationships between Appearance Evaluation, Appearance Orientation, and Illness Orientation subscales of the two inventories were identified. These findings indicate that women university students reporting higher scores on bulimic symptoms are more likely to report a general unhappiness with their physical appearance.

The Relationship

Analysis of 102 undergraduate women's responses replicated the 1993 findings of Janzen, Saklofske, and Kelly considering the relationship between personality characteristics based on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire—Revised and bulimic symptomatology as measured by the BULIT—R. Consistent with Janzen, et al., the strongest relationship with bulimic symptomatology was for Neuroticism. Also consistent was the lack of relationship with Extraversion scores. At variance with the earlier findings was a weak positive association between reports of bulimic symptoms and scores on Psychoticism.

This study proposes a psychometric approach to assess the General Factor of Personality (GFP) to explain the whole personality. This approach defends the existence of one basic factor that represents the overall personality. The General Factor of Personality Questionnaire (GFPQ) is presented to measure the basic, combined trait of the complete personality. The questionnaire includes 20 items and is constituted by two scales with 10 items each one: the Extraversion Scale (ES) and the Introversion Scale (IS). The GFPQ shows adequate internal consistency and construct validity, while the relationships with the personality factors of other models and with psychopathology are as expected. It correlates positively and significantly with Extraversion (E) and Psychoticism (P), and negatively with Neuroticism (N) of Eysenck's EPQ (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire); it correlates positively and significantly with the Sensation Seeking Scaled (SSS) of Zuckerman, and is inside the expected direction with Sensitivity to Reward (SR) and Sensitivity to Punishment (SP) of the Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward Questionnaire (SPSRQ), which represent the approach and avoidance trends of behavior, respectively. It not only relates negatively with the personality disorders of the anxiety spectrum, but also with the emotional disorders in relation to anxiety and depression, and it relates positively with the antisocial personality disorder.

The Relationship

Forty male Anglican clergy completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire during mid-career development consultations. The findings that the clergy display elevated neuroticism scores and psychoticism scores no lower than men in general contradict predictions emerging from recent studies concerned with the relationship between personality and religion and suggest the need for further research.

The present investigation describes some personality characteristics of a group of professional artists. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was sent to 337 painters and sculptors living in West Germany. Most of them were members of the German Artists Association and were free practicing artists or professors at Art Academies. 147 male and 110 female artists returned completed forms. Data indicated that male artists were lower on Extraversion and higher on Neuroticism than a group of 300 male non-artists. Female artists were more extraverted than male artists, but their means on Neuroticism were nearly identical. Male non-artists were lowest on Neuroticism. Artists were also higher on Psychoticism than non-artists.

National Differences

577 men and 567 women were given the 101-item version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, translated into Icelandic. Although some items were inappropriate for use in Iceland, a viable scoring key was suggested and all reliabilities, except perhaps for Psychoticism, were satisfactory. Indices of factor comparison showed very clearly identical factors in both countries. Icelandic and British subjects were compared on the personality factors, using reduced scales comprising only items both scoring keys shared; Icelandic subjects scored lower on all factors, although not always at a statistically significant level.

Three studies examined the influence of paperbacks about psychological self-help on responses to personality questionnaires. Each study consisted of a 2 × 3 design that varied presence or absence of a pretest on a personality questionnaire and an intervening treatment condition which involved reading either one of two self-help books or reading no book. The dependent measures were posttest scale scores on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, the Tennessee Self-concept Scale and the 16 Personality Factors questionnaire. The effects of 6 self-help paperbacks, tested in pairs, were examined over the 3 experiments. Multivariate analysis of variance showed that the reading condition was nonsignificant across all experiments while the pretest condition was a significant factor for only one questionnaire.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate some personality characteristics of especially successful artists in comparison with those of less successful artists. In a recent study (Götz & Götz, 1979) 257 painters and sculptors had been given the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. From this group four art experts selected the names of 60 well-known artists. Another group of 18 art experts judged the degrees of success of these artists and also their ‘contributions to the development of contemporary art’. Successful artists scored much higher on Psychoticism than the less successful artists. No significant differences between the means on Extraversion, Neuroticism, and the Lie scale were found. Scores for success of the 18 most successful artists were correlated with their corresponding rating of contributions. No significant correlation was found. It was concluded that success in the arts (as defined in this study) may not be synonymous with originality.
