The Psychology of Politics
In writing The Psychology of Politics, Hans Eysenck had two aims in mind: to write a book about modern developments in the field of attitude studies which would be intelligible to the layman; and one that would integrate into one consistent theoretical system a large number of contributions on the topic from different fields. Eysenck believes that science has something to say about such problems as anti-Semitism, the origin and growth of fascist …

Does Smoking Really Kill Anybody
Statements that so many people are killed by smoking use the term "kill" in a very unusual manner which is easily misunderstood by people not expert in epidemiology. In addition, the usual calculations leave out of account the fact that smoking interacts synergistically with other risk factors, so that it is a combination of risk factors rather than any specific one that is likely to have a causal influence on mortality. Strictly speaking it is q…
Alcohol Consumption and Health
In this study, 6,386 males and 5,990 females, with a mean age of 55 years, constituting a random sample, were administered questionnaires by interviewers relating to amount of self-regulation and drinking status. They were then followed up over a 20-yr. period, and health status (living well, chronically ill, or deceased) was ascertained. It was hypothesized that the deleterious effect of alcohol would be worse for those low on self-regulation; t…
Personality Differences According to Gender
This study reports on the gender differences in the responses to 34 questions comprising the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, as recorded by 508 males and 873 females who constituted the American standardization group for the questionnaire. The mean difference on the resulting M-F scale is statistically significant, being 2.28 ± 0.30 for the British sample and 5.21 ± 0.26 for the American sample

Prediction of Cancer and Coronary Heart Disease Mortality by Means of a Personality Inventory
This paper reports on the 1982-1986 follow-up of two samples of healthy persons first studied in 1972 and followed up in 1982 when mortality and cause of death were established (N = 2,146). Both were related to stress and personality type according to clearly elaborated theories, and results were very much in accordance with theory. The second follow-up was instigated to answer criticisms of the first study and to test whether results would still…
Prediction of Cancer and Coronary Heart Disease as a Function of Method of Questionnaire Administration 1
We have tested the hypothesis in this study that different methods of administering a questionnaire produce differential approximations to truthful admission of undesirable personality traits and behaviours. Four different methods of administration produced different levels of trust and understanding, using the current prediction among healthy subjects of death by cancer or coronary heart disease 13 years later as the criterion. There were signif…

Personality, Stress, and Motivational Factors in Drinking as Determinants of Risk for Cancer and Coronary Heart Disease
Alcohol consumption is a well-known risk factor for cancer, coronary heart disease (CHD), and various other diseases. It is here suggested that motivational factors may be important in mediating any effects of drinking on health. In particular, the hypothesis was tested that drinking to drown one's sorrows (S-type) was much more a risk factor than pleasure drinking (P-type). A total of 1,706 men were tested and followed for 13 years, when death a…
Coca-Cola, Cancers, and Coronaries
A theory is presented relating the consumption of stimulant and depressant drugs to cancer and coronary heart disease, with stress/personality acting as an intermediary. The predictions from the theory that large-scale consumption of Coca-Cola would prevent cancer and promote coronary heart disease was tested and found to be supported by the results of a long-scale prospective study. Results replicate those from an earlier study using coffee as a…

Genetic and Environmental Contributions to Individual Differences
This article deals with the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to individual differences in the three major dimensions of personality (Psychoticism, Extraversion, and Neuroticism) Twin studies indicate, and family studies confirm within limits, the strong genetic determination of these and many other personality factors, additive genetic variance accounting for roughly half the total phenotypic variance On the environmental side, s…

Personality in Primary School Children
Family size, position in family, parental occupation and parental interest were investigated in some 4,000 boys and girls of primary school leaving age in relation to personality, intelligence and school achievement. Smaller families were associated with brighter, more extraverted and less neurotic children. Parental occupation was associated with both extraversion and stability in children, as well as with intelligence and achievement. Parental …
Personality in Primary School Children
Scores of some 4,000 11-year-old boys and girls on the JEPI were analysed in relation to performance on scholastic and ability tests at the primary school leaving age. Analysis by correlation and analysis of variance methods revealed that extraverted boys and girls are scholastically superior to introverted ones, the regression being linear; that stable boys and girls did only marginally better than unstable ones, the regression being somewhat cu…

The nature of extraversion
A biometrical-genetical analysis of twin data to elucidate the determinants of variation in extraversion and its components, sociability and impulsiveness, revealed that both genetical and environmental factors contributed to variation in extraversion, to the variation and covariation of its component scales, and to the interaction between subjects and scales. A large environmental correlation between the scales suggested that environmental facto…

A New Measure of 'Good Taste' in Visual Art
This article introduces a new test of visual aesthetic sensitivity, the VAST. This test consists of 42 pairs of non-representational figures, drawn by an artist and arranged in such a way that each pair contains an original and a version slightly altered by the artist to incorporate various types of faults. Test items were only accepted after unanimous agreement between expert judges. The score is the number of figures correctly identified as sup…
Personality, premarital sexual permissiveness, and assortative mating∗
A 5 item sexual permissiveness scale devised by Reiss, and 4 personality inventory scales purporting to measure psychoticism (P), neuroticism (N), extraversion (E) and propensity to dissimulate (L for lie scale) were administered to 427 male and 436 female subjects aged between 20 and 50 years. It was found that men were more permissive than women on all 5 items; that items are intercorrelated in a pattern which could be predicted from the Guttma…

Mandalas and Mesoamerican Pecked Circles [and Comments and Reply]
The notion of the archetype of the Self in Jungian psychology and its expression in mandala or sacred-circle symbolism is reviewed. The role of mandalas in Hinduism and Buddhism is then briefly discussed, with special emphasis on Vajrayana Buddhism. The universality of the mandala and its function of aiding the integration of the individual into the Absolute is stressed by also examining the sacred rites of the Oglala Sioux. Then it is shown how …

Symposium
S ummary . It is argued that moral values are learnt in the course of the child's development, and that consequently any theory regarding their development should be based on the known facts and principles of modern learning theory. An attempt has been made to do so by suggesting that ‘conscience’ is, in fact, a conditioned response built up during the child's formative years by the pairing of conditioned stimuli (arising from aggressive, predato…
