Exemplary Lives: The Uses of Psychobiography for Theory Development
Why should psychologists undertake psychobiographical inquiry? This article argues that our primary responsibility in this multidisciplinary field is that of developing basic personality theory An “invisible collaboration” is proposed, such that excellent biographical studies in neighboring disciplines provide basic data for our theoretical efforts The proposal is illustrated by analyzing two highly acclaimed works in terms of Tomkins's (1979) sc…
Studies in Script Theory: III. Ideology and Political Imagination
Two hypotheses derived from Tomkins' theory of ideological scripts were tested in a study of voters' perceptions of major candidates 1 month prior to the 1984 presidential election. College students and community adults cast candidates as leading characters in imaginary TV dramas representing humanistic vs normative triads of affects, and completed an abridged version of Tomkins' Polarity Scale. Specific predictions were that (1) Republican candi…
Masculine/feminine: A personological perspective
How might our expanding knowledge of gender contribute to a deeper understanding of personality? This paper offers a personological perspective for considering the import of contemporary work, and focuses on the ten substantive papers included in this issue of the Journal of Personality An agenda for our future inquiry is proposed that includes (a) revising our ideology of science in a postpositivist era, (b) recognizing the complexity of persona…
Affect and psychological magnification: Derivations from Tomkins' script theory
This study tested derivations from Tomkins' script theory by asking college students (17 men, 16 women) to generate plots for television dramatic programs dealing with human emotions. Plots involving “social” affects of joy and shame elicited more interpersonal themes than did the “nonsocial” affects of excitement and fear. Further, as predicted, plots dealing with negative affects (fear and shame) were more highly elaborated than were positive a…
What's social about social psychology? Where's the person in personality research
Studies in script theory: I. Adult analogs of a childhood nuclear scene
Studies of Jungian typology: II. Representations of the personal world
Personality Types among Negro College Students
Understanding Women: Implications for Personality Theory and Research
This paper addresses the neglect of work on feminine psychology as a symptom of the far broader impoverishment of contemporary work in personality. Bakan's concepts of agency and communion are invoked toward understanding the constraints imposed by current research paradigms. Agentic (masculine) modes of inquiry involving manipulation, quantification, and control need to be complemented by the communal (feminine) research styles (naturalistic, qu…
Sex differences in ego functioning: Exploratory studies of agency and communion.
Where is the person in personality research
Self, values, and affects: Derivations from Tomkins' polarity theory
Brief Method for Assessing Social-Personal Orientation
This study reports the development of a brief measure of the construct “social-personal orientation” (SPO), defined as a tendency to define one's self-concept primarily in terms of social experiences of in terms independent of social relationships. Choices of “social” or “personal” terms on a 30-item adjective checklist were stable and internally consistent in three samples of college students. Evidence on construct validity of the measure was ob…
