Play and Health Among a Group of Adult Business Executives
This study focuses on the self-representations or cognitive self-schemas that individuals construct as a function of their play experiences. Participants ( N = 101) completed the Lifestyle Assessment Questionnaire (Elsenrath, Hettler, & Leafgren, 1989), a version of Kelly's (1955) repertory grid, and a health questionnaire. As predicted, there is a health benefit when play is featured prominently in the personal identity of individuals. These ind…

Stability and Factor Structure of the Jackson Personality Inventory-Revised
The Jackson Personality Inventory-Revised comprises 15 bipolar scales and five cluster scores concerning an individual's interpersonal patterns of interaction, cognitive styles, and value orientation. Recent reviews of this revised version raise questions about test-retest stability as well as the factor structure on which cluster scores are based. 74 men and 33 women (29–63 years of age, M = 42.3) completed the inventory while participating in a…
Relationship of Construct Relation and Optimism
Landfield and Epting (1987) theorized that low construct relation may suggest a fragmentation process within one's construct system which, in turn, will be manifest in excessive doubt and uncertainty, forms of low optimism. Present results with 81 undergraduates were consistent with this contention and indicated that individuals with low scores on construct relation also report low scores on dispositional optimism. Continued research is recommend…
Some Implications for Intelligence Test Construction and Administration with Children of Different Racial Groups
An evaluation of Williams' (1972) culturally-specific intel ligence test, Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homo geneity (BITCH-100), was made and was compared with the Anglo-oriented Vocabulary Subtest of the California Achievement Test (CAT) and with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Revised Form (WISC-R). As predicted, Blacks generally scored higher on the BITCH-100, and Whites generally scored higher on the CAT and WISC-R. Absol…
Perceptions of and Preferences for Instrumental versus Expressive Therapists
Two investigations used the instrumental-expressive role distinction to shape counseling behaviors and found these orientations differentially affecting subjects' preferences for therapists. Though similarity of role failed to influence choice of therapists, subjects who devalued their ability to cope with a psychological problem were attracted to the instrumental therapist, gave the therapist more responsibility for treatment outcome, and showed…
Need Approval, Modeling and Perception of Models' Adjustment in Behavior during an Interview
Ss high and low in need for approval received role-training prior to a personal interview. Modeling of communication skills elicited greater verbal productivity than instructions alone. A mental patient model elicited less attraction, lower ratings of social competence, and more favorable disclosure by interviewees than a non-patient model. Subjects high and low in approval were unaffected by type of model
