Moderate Magnitude

Testing 56 Japanese undergraduates, the relationships between pain threshold and pain tolerance in cold water and personality factors were investigated. Significant negative correlations of moderate magnitude between the pain threshold and scores on Maudsley Neuroticism and the Manifest Anxiety Scale were found. On the contrary, significant positive, moderate correlations between pain tolerance and the Maudsley Extraversion were obtained.

Item Scale

A 15-item scale to measure optimism about college life was developed and administered to 90 female and 54 male entering college freshmen to study reliability and construct validity. An alpha of .85 was found, and predicted negative correlations with scores on the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, Zung Depression Inventory, and Maudsley Personality Inventory (Neuroticism) were observed.

Intervening Variables

33 Ss, judged in a lengthy post-conditioning interview to be unaware of the correct response-reinforcement contingency as employed in a Taffel verbal conditioning task, were compared on the interrelationships of their scores on the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale, the E and N scales of the Maudsley Personality Inventory, an auditory measure of vigilance, the spiral aftereffect test, and a verbal conditioning measure. Verbal conditioning was found to be related to manifest anxiety and neuroticism in a psychiatric subgroup but not in a normal subgroup. Variables affecting verbal conditioning were discussed.

Normally Distributed

SynopsisTest and retest scores on the Symptom Rating Test (SRT), Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS) and Maudsley Personality Inventory (MPI) were obtained from 45 non-psychotic psychiatric in-patients. The change in scores and the score distributions were examined to assess the extent to which these tests meet Foulds' criteria for measures belonging respectively to the universes of personality and personal illness. MPI Extraversion emerged as a stable, normally distributed, personality trait in contrast to the SRT which showed the characteristics of a symptom-state measure. MPI Neuroticism and MAS scores could not be allocated definitively to either universe and seemed to be hybrids. It is suggested that more attention must be paid to the ‘ purity’ of scales if meaningful interpretation is to be made in treatment assessment.

With 20 male Japanese undergraduates relationships between electric shock threshold and reaction time to electric shock with 10 v and personality factors were investigated. Significant product-moment correlations of —.79 and —.69 between response to noxious stimulation and Manifest Anxiety and Maudsley Neuroticism scores were found.

Symptom Rating

SummaryForty-five in-patients, with primary diagnoses of neurosis or personality disorder, completed the test cards and booklet versions of the Symptom Rating Test—Day (SRT). In order to facilitate retroactive interference the Manifest Anxiety Scale (MAS) and the Maudsley Personality Inventory (MPI) were administered between the two forms of the SRT. On the next day the patients were given the SRT (Week). The initial SRT, MAS and MPI testing was repeated one week later.On the assumption that positional set is an important consideration predictions were made as to the expected differences between the test cards and booklet modes of SRT administration.The results add support to the practical use of the SRT in its more recent standardized format.

The response-speed (covertly timed) of 30 Ss on a simple printing task under unstressful conditions was correlated with their Maudsley Personality Inventory extraversion scores, Manifest Anxiety Scale scores, and need-achievement scores from the Edwards Personality Preference Schedule. Extraversion correlated –.42 ( p < .02) with log speed, the MAS correlated .11 and need-achievement –.20 (both nonsignificant).

Manifest Anxiety

The physiological subscale of the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale was examined using a matched single-subject research design. As predicted, a high scorer on the physiological subscale had a significantly higher resting EMG and did not significantly recover as did the low scorer on the physiological subscale on EMG. Contradictory findings were observed on skin temperature measures. Findings are discussed relative to the scope and shortcomings of the investigation, and directions for research are suggested.
