The international personality item pool and the future of public-domain personality measures
Theory, Development, and Interpretation of the CPI Socialization Scale
The socialization (So) scale of the California Psychological Inventory is based partly on a role-taking or perspective-taking theory of social deviance and partly on the pragmatics of differentiating between more socialized and less socialized individuals. The theory, history, and current applications of the scale are reviewed, relationships to other scales and measures are examined, and the validity of the scale in arraying 69 male and 40 female…
Performance of Residents in Anesthesiology as Related to Measures of Personality and Interests
79 male and 16 female residents in anesthesiology at six training centers took the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) and Strong Interest Inventory (SII) in Year 1 and were rated for performance two years later. Descriptively, the total sample scored highest on CPI scales for Dominance, Social Presence, and Achievement via Independence, and on SII scales for investigative, mathematical, and medical science interests. Scores from a four-scal…
Shared variance in the California Psychological Inventory and the California Q-Set
On a composite sample of 940 individuals assessed at the Institute of Personality Assessment and Research, a series of analyses examining the extent and nature of correspondence between (a) observer descriptions of personality using the California Q-Set and (b) scores on the standard scales of the self-report California Psychological Inventory was performed. The instruments converged in the domains of social competence (vs. interpersonal inadequa…

Predicting Grades in College from the California Psychological Inventory
To forecast four-year, two-year, and single-course grades in college, a California Psychological Inventory (CPI) equation (30.60 - .26Wb + .35Re -. l9Gi + .39Ai + .22Ie + .36Py) was developed. Cross-validational coefficients for scores on the equation were .38 for 326 males and .36 for 570 females
External evaluation of efficacy by means of an Adjective Check List scale for observers
Some implications of self versus ideal-self congruence on the revised Adjective Check List
English, French, and Italian Adjective Check Lists: A Social Desirability Analysis
The Adjective Check List is intended for cross-cultural as well as intracultural research, and in fact has been widely used in such inquiry. Translations should attend to psychological attributes of the items, such as social desirability, as well as to linguistic equivalence. Endorsement rates in self-description give still another index of the comparability of items in two versions of a test. Ratings of the desirability of ACL items in English, …

Some factors related to men's stated willingness to use a male contraceptive pill
One hundred and fifty‐one men were interviewed in regard to contraceptive practices, life history, and personal outlook. In response to the question “Would you use a contraceptive pill for males if one were available?” 55.6% said yes, 18.5% said probably yes, 18.5% said probably no, and 7.3% said no. Dummy values of 3–2‐1–0 were assigned to these categories and then correlated with social‐demographic variables, test scores, and descriptions obtai…
A creative personality scale for the Adjective Check List
The Adjective Check List was administered to seven male and five female samples comprising 1,701 subjects. Direct or inferred ratings of creativity were available for all individuals. The samples covered a wide range of ages and kinds of work; criteria of creativity were also varied, including ratings by expert judges, faculty members, personality assessment staff observers, and life history interviewers. The creativity scales of Domino and Schae…
An Adjective Check List Scale to Predict Military Leadership
The 300-item Adjective Check List is proposed as a useful device for cross-cultural research. This study evaluated the ACL as a predictor of leadership ratings in two Italian officer training programs and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Ns were 244, 415, and 523. A 50-item `Military Leadership Scale" (MLS) was developed from protocols gathered at the time of application or entry. Its correlations with the leadership criteria, available f…
Attitudes Related to the Number of Children Wanted and Expected by College Students in Three Countries
A 40-item questionnaire for assessing attitudes toward contraception, abortion, family planning, population management, and modernity was administered to 562 American, 419 Italian, and 136 Swiss college students (515 males, 602 females). Information regarding number of children wanted and expected was also obtained. Transnational difference on the five scales were more pronounced for females than for males. American students scored highest on pop…
Strong Vocational Interest Blank Profiles of Women in Law, Mathematics, Medicine, and Psychology
Male form Strong Vocational Interest Blank protocols were obtained from 4 female samples: 40 law students, 44 mathematicians, 51 medical students, and 49 graduate students in psychology Each sample scored higher ( p < .01) than the complement (other three samples pooled) on the appropriate occupational scale. Classificatory indices were defined for each sample, adding scores on four scales with positive differences and subtracting four with negat…

Estimation of Locus-of-Control Scores from the California Psychological Inventory
Rotter's Locus of Control measure was correlated with 18 standard and 4 new scales of the California Psychological Inventory in samples of 141 males and 220 females. The directions of relationship were the same for 21 of the 22 scales. For all 361 Ss, tolerance, good impression, and achievement via conformance each correlated −.35 with locus of control; anxiety had a coefficient of .24. A 5-scale regression equation was developed, including domin…
A French Application of the CPI Social Maturity Index
A social maturity index based on six scales of the California Psychological Inventory was developed on samples of 2,146 nondelinquent and 881 delinquent males. The index was cross-validated on 2,482 nondelinquent versus 409 delinquent American males, 659 nondelinquent and 38 delinquent Italian men, and 113 Japanese male nondelinquents versus 36 delinquents. All mean differences were highly significant, and Ss in the three cross-validating samples…
A Cluster Analysis of Home Index Status Items
A “Home Index” set of 22 items for assessing socioeconomic status was first described in 1949- Although the implications of total score on the items have been previously examined, the internal dimensionality of the series has not yet been established. A cluster analysis of the item matrix was therefore conducted, using 1,379 student protocols drawn from 14 high schools. Four clusters were identified: social status, ownership, socio-civic involvem…

Japanese Validation of the CPI Social Maturity Index
The scales of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) seek to measure “folk concepts,” variables originating in and shaped by interpersonal life and hence predictive of significant outcomes in everyday behavior. Scale configurations partake of this interactional relevance and are intended to heighten the inventory's diagnostic accuracy. One such profile pattern is that for social maturity, in which the dominance, responsibility, socializatio…
Validation of the CPI Femininity Scale in Korea
The 38-item Fe (Femininity) scale of the California Psychological Inventory has validly differentiated between males and females in American, French, Italian, Norwegian, Turkish, and Venezuelan applications. Also, from studies in the United States, a theoretical rationale of the scale as diagnosing nurturant, forbearing, compassionate femininity vs venturesome, autonomous, and dispassionate masculinity has been evolved. Further cross-cultural stu…

A Sociological Theory of Psychopathy
The concept of psychopathy has had a long development in psychopathology. Earliest usage centered around such terms as "moral imbecility"; more recently, the designation "psychopathic personality" has been favored. There has been much argument about the validity of the concept "psychopathy" but relative agreement about the behavior which it specifies. This behavior may be called "asocial." It is expedient to use a sociological approach in its ana…

A New Dimension of Status: I. Development of a Personality Scale
IT IS GENERALLY recognized among social psychologists that the position occupied by an individual in the social hierarchy is one of the most important variables determining his behavior. Thus, attitudes towards political and economic change,' and towards governmental regulations2 have been shown to be closely related to class identification. Child-rearing practices seem to follow class lines more closely than color lines,3 and the language develo…

A Validational Study of the Chapin Social Insight Test
Although little known or used in present-day psychology, the Chapin Social Insight Test appears to be a potentially valuable psychometric tool. It is addressed to a capacity of fundamental importance in interpersonal life, and its conceptual rationale is persuasive. A series of validational studies was therefore undertaken. In 10 male and 4 female samples (total N = 1,330) the Chapin scale was found to correlate significantly with various indices…
Cross-Cultural Validation of a Measure of Asocial Behavior
The California Psychological Inventory (CPI) seeks to measure dispositions having universal status, of value in forecasting and conceptualizing interpersonal behavior anywhere. Under this rationale, cross-cultural study is imperative. The Socialization scale of the inventory was administered in 8 languages in 10 countries, to totals of 21,772 non-delinquent and 5,052 delinquent males and females. Significant and appropriate differences were obser…
The Dimensionality Of The CPI Socialization Scale And An Empirically Derived Typology Among Delinquent And Nondelinquent Boys
The 64 items of the CPI So scale were cluster analyzed in a sample of 318 males into 3 main dimensions: C-1-Stable home and school adjustment versus waywardness and dissatisfaction with family; C-2-Optimism and trust in others versus dysphoria, distrust and alienation; C-3-Observation of convention versus asocial role and attitude. The initial sample was comprised of 84 school disciplinary problems (DP), 75 institutionalized delinquents (D), and …
