Psychometric Properties of the Life Orientation Test and Attributional Style Questionnaire
Research on dispositional optimism and explanatory style has burgeoned in recent years. The present study assessed the psychometric properties of the Life Orientation Test and Attributional Style Questionnaire, two self-report scales commonly used to measure these two constructs in social-personality research. Data reported include means, standard deviations, internal reliabilities, and intercorrelations for a sample of 436 (342 women and 94 men)…
Private Self-Consciousness and the Retest Reliability of Self-Reports
Self‐focused attention, self‐esteem, and the experience of state depression
The present experiment explored the effect of self‐focused attention and self‐esteem on self‐reported state depression Subjects completed a self‐esteem scale before taking part in an exercise designed to induce either strong feelings of temporary depression ( strong condition ) or very mild feelings of temporary depression ( weak condition ) Before rating their mood, subjects waited for a short period either in the presence or absence of a mirror…
Self-Actualization and Retrospective Reports of Parent-Child Relationships among College Females
The relationship between self-actualization and retrospective perceptions of parental child-rearing attitudes and behaviors was investigated. 20 high and 20 low self-actualizing college-aged females, pre-selected on the basis of their scores on Shostrom's Personal Orientation Inventory, were compared on Schaefer's Children's Reports of Parental Behavior Inventory. As predicted, high self-actualizing subjects scored significantly higher than low s…
Internal-External Control and Ideology
It was hypothesized that internal Ss would agree more with ideologies which emphasize the importance of self-determination of behavior, whereas external Ss would agree more with ideologies which emphasize the importance of social determination of behavior. Internals scored significantly higher on the traditional American ideology scale, whereas externals scored significantly higher on the New Left scale and one assessing a political philosophy of…

Social Desirability as a Variable in the Locus of Control Scale
The present series of studies based on Ss in Catholic institutions attempted to explore several related questions concerning the social-desirability variable in the Internal-External Locus of Control scale (I-E). Results of Study I indicated that a majority of the I-E items have probability of endorsement values which depart significantly from a hypothetical value of P = .50, both for standard instruction and social-desirability instruction condi…

Relationship between Locus of Control and Dogmatism
Internal-External Control of Reinforcement in Smoking Behavior
Internal-External Control as a Determinant of Academic Achievement
The aim of the present investigation was to examine the relationship between Rotter's (1966) internal-external control dimension (I-E) and academic achievement. Although no previous investigators have reported significant associations between these two variables (Eisenman & Platt, 1968), it seems a logical extension of the perceived locus of control dimension that internals would manifest more achievement-striving behavior than externals, who fee…
Accuracy of Personality and Social Judgments as Functions of Familiarity
This study examined the relationship between degree of familiarity with another person (intimate, casual, or nonacquaintance) and ability to make accurate social and personality predictions of that person's behavior. 3 groups of 32 male-female dyads completed either a Q- or free-sort personality judgments task and a social judgments questionnaire twice for (a) self-description and (b) prediction of dyad partner. Mean accuracy scores on both judgi…
Retention of an Avoidance Response Learned under Bilateral Spreading Depression
An experiment investigated the effect of recovery or no recovery from bilateral spreading depression (BSD) during the retention interval on an avoidance response learned and tested for retention under BSD. One group experienced BSD throughout the retention interval, another had cortical recovery. A third group had a sham BSD treatment before each training session and between sessions. A fourth group was treated like Group 1 except it was given no…
