The Nature of Emotions
The Nature of Emotions
Development of a Therapist Activity Rating Scale: Preliminary Findings
A 61-item scale was constructed of relatively explicit descriptions of behavior in which a psychotherapist might engage. The scale is largely noninferential, is basically atheoretical but applicable to psychodynamically oriented therapy, may be completed by either the therapist or an independent rater with minimal training, and may be used to rate entire therapy sessions or specific segments of sessions. The scale shows high interrater reliabilit…

Assaultive behavior in normal school children
Medical School Stressors and Emotional Disturbance
Responses of 21 medical students requesting psychiatric evaluation at a personnel clinic were compared on a 33-item measure of stress with those of 25 medical students who had never been involved in psychiatric treatment. Items distinguishing clinic and comparison groups related to general psychological problems such as anxiety and difficulty concentrating on work rather than to problems related to the medical school experience per se, such as de…
Measuring death anxiety: Conceptual, psychometric, and factor-analytic aspects
This study was undertaken to construct a brief, reliable, and valid questionnaire for measuring attitudes toward death and dying. In Stage 1, four groups of individuals ranging in age from 30 to 82 years completed the Death Anxiety Questionnaire (DAQ), a brief anxiety scale (MAS), and a depression scale (DP). During Stage 2, results on these scales were cross-validated on a new sample of subjects, and the Templer and Dickstein measures of death a…

Personality Profiles of Japanese College Students: A Normative Study
A Japanese language translation, of a theoretically based personality test called the Emotions Profile Index (EPI), was administered to 500 male and 500 female university students in Japan. The major differences between Japanese and American students, appeared on 3 of the 9 scales of the EPI. It appeared that the Japanese students were less impulsive, and more depressed and timid than their American counterparts. When Japanese male and female stu…
Love: A Psychometric Approach
A new psychometric instrument, the Love Scale, was developed for measuring feelings and attitudes associated with being in love. A series of items was constructed to provide measures of five components assumed on the basis of philosophical speculation and previous research to be basic to the love experience: Respect, Congeniality, Altruism, Physical Attraction, and Attachment. Both the total and the subscale scores proved to be highly reliable. T…
A comparison of voluntary and involuntary patients in a state hospital
A study of 78 involuntary and 47 voluntary patients three months after admission to a state hospital revealed significant differences in presenting symptoms and in the rate of elopement from the hospital. The data support maintaining procedures for involuntary hospitalization, but also suggest the need for alternatives in view of the high elopement rate
Reinforcement Preferences and Personality Profiles of Hospitalized Schizophrenics
The Reinforcement Survey Schedule developed by Cautela and Kastenbaum was applied to a random sample of hospitalized schizophrenics from several different wards of a state hospital. A personality test designed to identify the strengths of various emotional dispositions was also used. The most highly reinforcing items for the population as a whole were being entertained by TV, movies, or radio; babies; children; and happy people. Reinforcement pre…
Sex Differences in Reported Psychophysiological Reactivity
On a self-report questionnaire, 9 out of 18 items presumed to reflect sympathetic or parasympathetic dominance differentiated between males and females. It was suggested that these findings related partly to cultural expectations, partly to differential stresses, and partly to real physiological or structural differences
A field study of emotions, dominance, and social behavior in a group of baboons (Papio anubis)
Eysenck Personality Inventory as a Mood Test with Manic-Depressive Patients
The Eysenck Personality Inventory was used as a mood indicator instead of as a trait test with a group of manic-depressive patients associated with a research ward. Some patients completed the EPI while in a normal state, some while in a depressed or manic state, and some in two or more clinically defined states. Results showed that depression was associated with a significant decrease in extraversion and a significant increase in neuroticism. Th…
Self-Concepts Associated with Mania and Depression
14 manic-depressive patients, 16 staff and 52 college students described their normal self, their ideal self, and their least-liked self in terms of certain personality traits. The emotion profile for the depressed state correlated highly with the least-liked self, but the manic profile did not correlate with any other description. Data suggest that ideal-self studies are basically concerned with social stereotypes
Stability of the emotional content of early memories in manic‐depressive patients
Emotion-Trait Interrelations and the Measurement of Personality
To relate personality concepts to emotion concepts 12 personality trait items were selected on the basis of explicit criteria to represent the trait universe. These terms were paired in all possible combinations and used as a self-report personality test. The scoring categories, however, were based on a theory of emotion which assumes that personality traits can be conceptualized as mixtures of primary emotions. Since the primary emotions are con…
The Affective Differential: Emotion Profiles Implied by Diagnostic Concepts
12 clinicians were presented with a list of diagnostic terms, such as, manic, paranoid, neurotic, etc. and were asked to indicate what emotions were implied in patients by each term. The emotion scales were selected to sample systematically the various dimensions of emotion. The clinicians' ratings provided emotion profiles typically associated with each of the diagnostic constructs. In addition, the ratings were intercorrelated and factor-analyz…
Interrelationships of Emotions, Traits, and Diagnostic Constructs
Judgments were collected from graduate students and clinicians of the extent to which various diagnostic constructs imply a systematic sample of emotions and traits. Degree of consensus in these judgments was analyzed for students and for clinicians. Intercorrelations of emotions and traits and of diagnostic constructs were factor analyzed for clinicians. Configurations of emotions and traits and of diagnostic constructs were generated by convert…
