A Multi-Trait Multi-Method Evaluation of Creativity and Openness
This study examined the relationship between creativity and openness. Two elaborative and two evaluative measures were administered to 56 undergraduates. A multi-trait multi-method approach was used to analyze Pearson correlations among all measures. Significant correlations were based on the commonality of method rather than trait. It was suggested that creativity and openness were best explained in terms of a typology rather than as unidimensio…
Openness-to-Experience and Mental Health
The relationship of openness-to-experience and mental health was investigated for 30 college women using Strupp and Hadley's 1977 tripartite model of mental health plus Holmes and Rahe's measure of recent stress. The set of mental health measures were employed in multiple regression analyses to predict self-report, behavioral, perceptual, and transactional measures of openness. Only the transactional measure of openness, defined as the ability to…
The Existential Context of Lovestyles
This study is an attempt to demonstrate empirically that the way in which one views love occurs within a broad and definable existential context. John Lee's (1974; 1977) typology of six "lovestyles" was investigated in relation to other phenomenological dimensions, including the fear of death, ego strength, self-esteem, and the meaningfulness of life. The lovestyles were also related to various self-ratings and demographic variables. One hundred …
The influence of family variables on an ecologically-based treatment program for emotionally disturbed children
An ecological intervention program for children, which includes family involvement, is described. The influence of the family over the course of the treatment is assessed via a stage model. Quality of family functioning prior to and during initial stages of intervention contributed significantly to child and family adjustment. The importance of seriously addressing the family when offering services to children in distress is emphasized
The family relationships of humor‐oriented adolescents 1
It was hypothesized that humor‐oriented people emerge from a pattern of distance in family relationships. Using Moos's (1974) Family Environment Scale (FES) and Kuethe's (1962) figure‐placement technique, the family experience of 88 Boy Scouts was assessed. Through a peer nomination technique nonhumor‐oriented, middle, and humor‐oriented groups were formed. As predicted, the humor‐oriented group exhibited lower cohesion scores ( p p p
Effects of Sharing a Secret on Subsequent Level of Openness
A wholistic model of openness is described. Shifts in openness were studied in 48 college women following the telling of a secret. Whereas the act of sharing a secret per se did not have an effect different from a control procedure, the intimacy of the secret was predictive of increased openness in a curvilinear fashion. Implications of these findings are discussed in terms of understanding the factors that contribute to sustained openness. The p…
The Impact of an Intensive Consciousness-Raising Curriculum on Adolescent Women
The impact of a consciousness-raising module offered in 50-minute class periods over 20 consecutive school days to junior and senior high school women was evaluated. Experimental and control groups were constituted randomly from a pool of volunteers. Subjects completed the attitudes toward women scale, the personal orientation inventory, and the Tennessee self-concept scale before and after the consciousness-raising experience. Results indicated …
