  • On Perceived Conflicts between Religion and Science

    Open AccessAlida S Westman, Jonathan Willink et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2000

    Volunteers from fundamentalist churches and a Psychology of Religion class (N = 77) completed Altemeyer and Hunsberger's 1992 Fundamentalism Scale, Altemeyer's 1988 Right-wing Authoritarianism Scale, and answered questions about science, religion, and their relationship. Scores on the scales were highly positively correlated. Neither orientation correlated with seeing science as improving life, and both correlated with being troubled by newer dev…

  • Machiavellianism, Adjustment, and Ethics

    Open AccessJohn W Mchoskey, Brian Hicks et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1999

    We examined self-reported relations between Machiavellianism (Christie & Geis, 1970) and measures related to adjustment, well-being, and ethical orientation. We predicted that Machiavellianism would be inversely associated with adjustment, and positively associated with a nihilistic, relativistic, and nonidealistic ethical orientation. With respect to adjustment and well-being our results indicate that Machiavellianism is inversely associated wit…

  • Machiavellianism and psychopathy

    John W Mchoskey, William Worzel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1998Cited by: 18

    An integration of the Machiavellianism (MACH) and psychopathy constructs based on a dimensional view of personality and personality disorders and a recognition of B. Karpman's (1941, 1948) conceptual distinction between primary and secondary psychopathy is presented. Positive associations between MACH and both primary and secondary psychopathy were found. It is concluded that the Mach-IV is a global measure of psychopathy in noninstitutionalized …

  • Case Closed? On the John F. Kennedy Assassination

    John W MchoskeyARTICLEBasic and Applied Social Psychology1995

    Vitriolic debate surrounds John F. Kennedy's (JFK's) death more than 30 years after the assassination. Whereas some endorse the official government conclusion that Oswald acted alone, others allege that some form of a conspiracy is responsible for Kennedy's death. The central thesis of this article is that due to the processes of biased assimilation and attitude polarization, personal theories about the perpetrator(s) of the assassination are ess…

  • Narcissism and Machiavellianism

    Open AccessJohn W Mchoskey, John McHoskeyARTICLEPsychological Reports1995

    Associations of Machiavellianism and narcissism were examined in two samples (Ns = 214 and 205) via the Mach-IV and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory. Scores on these self-report measures were correlated. Machiavelianism scores were positively associated with aspects of narcissism which indicate maladjustment, i.e., entitlement and exploitativeness, and inversely associated with adaptive narcissistic tendencies, i.e., self-sufficiency. The d…

  • The attitude polarization phenomenon

    Arthur G Miller, A Dusty Miller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1993Cited by: 2

    Four studies examined the generality of attitude polarization (C. G. Lord, L. Ross, & M. R. Lepper, 1979). Biased assimilation of essays on 2 controversial issues was substantial and correlated with reported attitude change. Polarization was observed for reported attitude change on capital punishment and generally stronger in Ss with extreme than moderate attitudes. Polarization was not indicated in a pre-post measurement design. For affirmative …
