Industrial Development in Pre-Communist China
The Chinese economy has been the subject of substantial research in recent years in the United States and abroad. Much has been made of significant strides toward industrial development since the Communist takeover. But it is impossible to understand what has been achieved unless one measures these gains against economic events in the pre-Communist period. This book offers a record of China's industrialization, with its comprehensive statistical …
Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire
Short-scale Eysenck Personality Questionnaire--Revised
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
Cross-Cultural Comparisons of Personality
401 men and 475 women completed the Dutch version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Factor comparisons all exceeded 0.97 so that the factors of Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Social Desirability are deemed to be identical in the two countries, England and The Netherlands. Sex differences conform with those in most other cross-cultural studies, namely, men score higher than women on Psychoticism and Extraversion, but lower on…

A Cross-Cultural Study of Personality
688 men and 362 women were given the 101-item version of the Adult Eysenck Personality Questionnaire which had been translated into Hebrew. Factor comparisons indicated that identical factors of Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Social Desirability were observed in Israeli data. Reliabilities were satisfactorily high for all factors except Psychoticism which was rather weak. Means showed the usual sex differences, with men scoring high…
Cross-Cultural Comparison of Personality
The Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was completed by 1117 boys and 1199 girls in Greece. Factor comparisons indicated that the dimensions of Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism and Social Desirability were identical in Greece and in England. Some item changes were required for the scoring key but reliabilities of all factors were satisfactory except Psychoticism which was somewhat weak. Greek norms indicated that boys scored higher t…
A Cross-Cultural Study of Personality
506 Sri Lankan men and 521 women completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) translated into Sinhala. Factor comparisons were all high enough to claim that all dimensions measured by the EPQ are virtually identical in Sri Lanka and England. Several item changes were required to produce a viable scoring key, but even then, reliabilities were unacceptably low for psychoticism but adequately high for extroversion, neutroticism and the "lie…
Impulsiveness and Venturesomeness in Canadian Children
542 Canadian boys and 508 Canadian girls completed the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire as well as the I 0 Junior Impulsiveness Inventory. Separate factor analyses of boys' and girls' I 0 responses yielded results similar to those obtained for British children although several items were either dropped or moved to a different scale. Correlations between the I 0 and junior scales resembled those reported for British children. Reliabilities…
National Differences in Personality
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,…
Personality and Antisocial Behavior in Delinquent and Non-Delinquent Boys
The relation between antisocial behavior and personality was investigated in 72 well behaved schoolboys, 45 badly behaved schoolboys and 30 delinquent boys, aged 13 to 15 yr. The only significant difference between delinquents and badly behaved schoolboys was in the degree of antisocial behavior, suggesting that the latter might be the potential delinquents. Well behaved schoolboys differed from the other two groups in antisocial behavior and, in…
Impulsiveness and Venturesomeness in a Detention Center Population
A group of 641 delinquent subjects at a detention centre were given a 63-item questionnaire purporting to measure Impulsiveness, Venturesomeness and Empathy. Of these, 614 subjects also completed a Personality Questionnaire measuring Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism and Social Desirability. Factor analysis of the 63-item questionnaire confirmed that the three factor structure obtained for normal subjects also held for an offender group. Fu…
A genetic and environmental analysis of sensation seeking
National differences in personality
Comparisons are reported between results on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire obtained from 491 male and 480 female Slovene‐speaking Jugoslavs; the comparison groups were 2312 male and 3262 female English subjects. Factor analyses of item intercorrelations showed close correspondence between the factors extracted in the two national samples, with indices of factor comparison well in excess of 0.95, and with reliabilities in the Jugoslav sampl…
Sensation seeking in England and America
Impulsiveness and Venturesomeness
A 63-item questionnaire was constructed for the measurement of three primary personality traits; impulsiveness, venturesomeness, and empathy. This questionnaire, together with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire which measures personality dimensions Psychoticism, Neuroticism, and Extraversion, was administered to 402 male and 787 female adult subjects. Factor analysis of the questionnaire resulted in three factors similar to those postulated, a…
Cross-Cultural Comparison of Personality
The recently published Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire contains scales to measure the personality dimensions of Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism, as well as a Lie (dissimulation) factor. In view of the large volume of standardization data cross-cultural studies of personality structure are possible. The questionnaire was accordingly administered to a sample of New Zealand boys ( N = 644) and girls ( N = 672), aged from 7 to 15…
Eysenck's Theory of Criminality
The criminal propensity scale from the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was administered to five groups of adolescent boys. School boys were classified into four groups of 20 each by staff ratings and a self-report questionnaire of antisocial behavior. The fifth group of 20 was comprised of delinquent boys in detention. Well behaved boys, low in antisocial behavior, obtained significantly lower scores than all other groups. The highest sc…

The relationship between sensation-seeking and Eysenck's dimensions of personality
Theory and common correlates suggest a relationship between dimensions of personality measured by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and the Sensation-seeking Scale. In order to examine these relationships, the two tests were given to 219 American and 879 English subjects of both sexes. Sensation-seeking was positively correlated with the traits of extraversion and psychoticism as measured by the EPQ. There was no relationship between se…
The place of impulsiveness in a dimensional system of personality description
Three questionnaire studies are reported in which sets of items traditionally used to measure impulsiveness were intercorrelated and the resulting matrices factor analysed; the factors extracted were correlated with measures of the major personality dimensions E (extraversion), N (neuroticism) and P (psychoticism), and also with the L (lie; dissimulation) scale. It was found that impulsiveness in the broad sense (Imp B ) breaks down into four fac…

The Validity of Questionnaire and Rating Assessments of Extraversion and Neuroticism, and Their Factorial Stability
Groups of nominated extraverts and introverts, and of stable and neurotic subjects were given a 188‐item questionnaire containing questions thought to be relevant to the measurement of these two dimensions of personality. Factor analyses were also carried out for 124 of these items making available factor loadings on these two dimensions. An analysis was carried out of the relationship between rated and self‐rated behaviour, and it was concluded …
Acquiescence” Response Set in Personality Inventory Items
Extraversion and neuroticism questionnaires were studied from the point of view of the existence of response sets, by correlating scores on congruent and incongruent sets of questions. It was found that congruent sets correlated higher than incongruent sets, but the differences were slight on the whole and suggested that response set is not a powerful determinant of personality questionnaire responses. Validation studies with the MPI (S. B. G. Ey…

Desirability Response Set in Children
S ummary . The junior form of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, measuring extraversion, neuroticism and tendency to lie, was administered to two groups of children totalling 575, both boys and girls, ranging in age from 11–15. Children in the control group were tested and retested under identical instructions; children in the experimental group were tested under standard instructions but retested under instructions to ‘ fake good.’ As predicted …
Physiological Reactivity to Sensory Stimulation as a Measure of Personality
6 introverts and 6 extraverts were tested with respect to the increment of salivary activity as a consequence of (a) putting 4 drops of lemon juice on their tongues and (b) having them swallow 4 drops of lemon juice. Under condition (a) introverts salivated significantly more than extraverts; under condition (b) extraverts salivated significantly more than introverts. Pavlov's theory of transmarginal inhibition was suggested as a possible explana…
Teacher Ratings of Extraversion and Neuroticism and Children's Inventory Responses
The Interpretation of Children's Lie Scale Scores
S ummary . 390 children were given an intelligence test and a 100‐item personality inventory purporting to measure E, N and the tendency to put themselves in the best light (lie scale). Factor analysis of the intercorrelations between items gave rise to three clearly defined independent factors identified as E, N and L. Intelligence correlated significantly only with L (r= ‐·29). It is suggested that these results support an interpretation of the…

Test‐retest Reliabilities of a New Personality Questionnaire for Children
S ummary . Different groups of children, varying in age, were tested and retested after varying intervals (one month, six months, twelve months) with a new Personality Questionnaire (PQ) containing scales for the measurement of the new factor of psychoticism (P), as well as of E, N and L. It was found that the new scales had retest reliabilities very similar to those established for the JEPI, and if anything a little higher. It was concluded that…

Personality and Mental Illness
The new Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was administered to 441 male and 441 female subjects, 63 in each of seven groups (normal, criminal, schizophrenic, endogenous depressive, personality disorder, anxiety state, reactive depression). Means and SDs are reported for the groups, and a discriminant function analysis was performed to estimate the relative positions of the groups in three-dimensional space. The groups were significantly separated …

Personality Differences between Prisoners and Controls
2,070 male prisoners and 2,442 male controls were administered the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, which gives scores on Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Lie scales. The groups were subdivided into age groups, ranging from 16 to 69 yr. at the extremes. It was found that the Lie scale disclosed little dissimulation in either group. Scores on Psychoticism, Extraversion, and Neuroticism fell with age for both prisoners and controls. P…
