Sociological Conceptions of Personality
Sociological conceptions of personality are identified and synthesized by means of a number of pro positions derived from definitional and theoretical themes in the literature. These propositions are tested in content analyses of references to personality found in textbooks of introductory sociology. Questions addressed include the extent to which personality lies within the domain of sociology, the degree of conceptual consensus, and the distinc…

Meta-Sociology and Academic Identities
We, The People: American Character and Social Change
Personality Typologies and Modes of Social Change
Theoretical questions on the functional relationship between personality and social systems are extended to a consideration of social change. The analysis is made in terms of the interaction of personality structure and varying modes of social reform. Data are taken from a study of Italian student movements of social protest and social action. The Rokeach Dogmatism Scale was utilized as a measure of personality structure. This report focuses on t…

Personality, Power and Politics: A Social Psychological Analysis of the Italian Deputy and His Parliamentary System
On the face of it there is no reason to believe that any single constellation of traits distinguishes those people the world happens to call politicians from their brethren. This is not to say that personality and politics are unconnected, but rather that the connections are complex in ways that need to be anticipated if political analysts are to get at the root of their subject matter. For example, politicians may perform roles that make such va…

Professional Politicians and Personality Structures
An abbreviated version of the Rockeach Dogmatism Scale was administered to a random sample of Italian parliamentarians and to a quota sample of Italian "non-politicians." Findings substantiate the research hypotesis that professional politicians are characterized by personality structures which are more dogmatic than those of non-politicians, and suggest further that distinctions in terms of such personality structures can be made even more preci…
