Factor Analyses of the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) in Acute and Chronic Pain Patients
The McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) aims to measure sensory, affective, and evaluative dimensions of pain. However, the structural dimensionality of the MPQ remains somewhat uncertain. Exploratory (EFA) factor analyses were used to investigate the structure of the MPQ based on the responses of a diverse sample of 448 pain patients (M age = 43.1 yr., SD = 19.3). The EFA employed a methodologically sound iterative maximum-likelihood procedure, toge…

Male Circumcision: Pain, Trauma and Psychosexual Sequelae
Infant male circumcision continues despite growing questions about its medical justification. As usually performed without analgesia or anaesthetic, circumcision is observably painful. It is likely that genital cutting has physical, sexual and psychological consequences too. Some studies link involuntary male circumcision with a range of negative emotions and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some circumcised men have described their cu…
Adverse Sexual and Psychological Effects of Male Infant Circumcision
Adverse Sexual and Psychological Effects of Male Infant Circumcision
A survey of the 35 female and 42 gay sexual partners of circumcised and genitally intact men, and a separate survey of 53 circumcised and 30 genitally intact men themselves, indicated that circumcised men experienced significantly reduced sexual sensation along with associated long-lasting negative emotional consequences
A Preliminary Study of Hormone Replacement Therapy and Psychological Mood States in Perimenopausal Women
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for perimenopausal women has been suggested to minimize the physical symptoms of menopause and improve mood and psychological functioning; however, the therapy remains controversial. In this study the effects of such therapy (comprising tablets, patches, and implants) on mood states was investigated within a sample of 70 perimenopausal women who were attending a family planning clinic within the Brisbane metropol…

Effects of menstrual cycle moods and symptoms on academic performance: A study of senior secondary school students
Background . Menstrual cycle moods and symptoms may well play a discernible role in the academic performance of some post‐pubescent adolescent female students. Aims . It was expected that menstrually related moods and symptoms would have both negative and positive influences on academic learning outcomes, and that the magnitude of these effects would be directly proportional to the salience of such moods and symptoms across the monthly cycle. Sam…
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI): Some Psychometric Limitations
The present paper critically reviews the psychometric adequacy of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Although the instrument is extremely popular in applied settings, there is an urgent need for the development of valid and comprehensive local norms, in order to increase its predictive validity and utility within the Australian context. In addition, there is a number of psychometric limitations pertaining to the reliability and validity of t…

A structural model of the dimensions of teacher stress
A comprehensive survey of teacher stress, job satisfaction and career commitment among 710 full-time primary school teachers was undertaken by Borg, Riding & Falzon (1991) in the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo. A principal components analysis of a 20-item sources of teacher stress inventory had suggested four distinct dimensions which were labelled: Pupil Misbehaviour, Time/Resource Difficulties, Professional Recognition Needs, and Poor …
Utility of the School Motivation Analysis Test in predicting second language acquisition
The School Motivation Analysis Test (SMAT) is a 190‐item, objective (T‐data), multidimensional instrument for measuring factor analytically derived adolescent motivation dimensions. The SMAT was administered to 109 high school students (63 females, 46 males) enrolled in a Melbourne metropolitan foreign language school. Sten scores on the SMAT dynamic source traits (Assertiveness, Mating/Sex, Fear/Escape, Narcism, Pugnacity, Protectiveness, Self‐s…

Which Employment Interview Skills Best Predict the Employability of Schizophrenic Patients
To examine the effects of verbal and nonverbal interview microbehaviors and interview characteristics on employability, Simulated Employment Interviews were conducted with 46 psychiatric inpatients who each met the DSM-III criteria for a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Each interview was videotaped and shown to two raters, who generated independent ratings for six microbehaviors (eye-contact, facial gestures, body posture, verbal content, voice volum…
Are Employment-Interview Skills a Correlate of Subtypes of Schizophrenia
46 inpatients with a DSM-III diagnosis of schizophrenia were assessed in the week prior to discharge from hospital on measures of positive and negative symptoms and on 12 measures of employment interview skills (i.e., eye contact, facial gestures, body posture, verbal content, voice volume, length of speech, motivation, self-confidence, ability to communicate, manifest adjustment, manifest intelligence, over-all interview skill), and a global mea…
Prediction of Academic Achievement Using the School Motivation Analysis Test
S ummary . Mathematics and English achievement was investigated among 277 Year 10 Australian students. Using the School Motivation Analysis Test (SMAT) as the measure of dynamic motivational traits, significant achievement variance (25 per cent for Mathematics; 34 per cent for English) was accounted for independently from that due to abilities and personality traits. Male students tended to invest a greater proportion of intellectual abilities (i…
Sex Differences in the Prediction of Academic Achievement Using the Children's Motivation Analysis Test
S ummary . The Children's Motivation Analysis Test (CMAT), together with standardised achievement tests in mathematics and reading, was administered to a large sample of Australian elementary school children. Stepwise forward regression analyses were conducted on subsamples of 209 males and 179 females (cases with missing data previously excluded). Several of the CMAT dynamic traits significantly predicted achievement scores. The most useful pred…
Quantitative and Qualitative Intersections between the Eight State Questionnaire and the Profile of Mood States
Canonical-redundancy analyses were computed across the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and the Eight State Questionnaire (8SQ) on a sample of 289 college undergraduates in order to estimate the degree of measurement overlap of the two multidimensional mood-state instruments. Additionally, content similarities and differences across subscales were investigated via a stepwise forward multiple regression approach. Results indicated some measurement co…
Content Similarities and Differences in Cattell's Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, Eight State Questionnaire, and Motivation Analysis Test
The multivariate psychometric measurement of normal personality traits, transitory emotional states, and dynamic motivational factors has been made possible through the factor analytically validated instruments devised by Cattell and his associates. Previous research by Boyle, et al. has demonstrated that in accord with theory, all three instruments are measuring essentially separate psychological domains. While this quantitative evidence suggest…
A Cross-Validation of the Factor Structure of the Profile of Mood States: Were the Factors Correctly Identified in the First Instance
The present study investigated further the factorial structure of the Profile of Mood States in an Australian college sample of 289 undergraduate students. Responses for all 65 items were intercorrelated and subjected to an iterative principal factoring procedure together with rotation to oblique simple structure. Results indicated that the basic subscale structure of the profile is reliable, although some additional factors of emotionality could…

Effects on Academic Learning of Manipulating Emotional States and Motivational Dynamics
S ummary . The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of emotionally disturbing stimuli on the learning process. A five‐minute film segment depicting horrific scenes of automobile accident victims, and part of a pathologist's post‐mortem of a victim, was shown to an experimental group of 69 student teachers, while a non‐treatment group of 66 student teachers served as controls. The two groups were well matched on several independent var…
Analysis of Typological Factors across the Eight State Questionnaire and the Differential Emotions Scale
The use of multivariate mood-state scales has recently become quite popular. Two instruments designed to measure fundamental emotions are the Eight State Questionnaire and the Differential Emotions Scale. As it appears that each instrument taps somewhat different sectors of the mood-state sphere, elucidation of a smaller number of typological factors across both instruments seems desirable to provide the basis for an instrument which better taps …
