Barksdale Self-esteem Index scores were correlated with scales of the Omnibus Personality Inventory and Seeman's Powerlessness scale for 188 graduating nursing students. The Barksdale Index was positively correlated with Omnibus Personality Inventory scales which measure Personal Integration and Intellectual Disposition Category and negatively correlated with scales which measure Impulse Expression, Anxiety Level, and Practical Outlook. In addition, the self-esteem measure was negatively related to Powerlessness. The pattern of correlations is viewed as validating the Barksdale Index when related to Omnibus Personality Inventory scales and to Inventory factor groupings which indicate emotional maturity, psychological adjustment, and a tendency to behave intellectually.

The study examines the contributions of hardiness, attachment style, and cognitive appraisal to the psychological adjustment of 300 survivors of malignant melanoma: The findings show that the survivors' adjustment is by far better predicted by their personal resources and cognitive appraisal than by their sociodemographic features (with the exception of marital status) and features of their illness. Of all the variables, their adjustment was best predicted by their attachment style, with secure attachment making for greater well-being and less distress. These findings add to the ample evidence that personal resources help persons to cope with stressful or traumatic events.
