  • Women’s smoking history prior to entering the US Navy

    Terry L Conway, Susan I Woodruff et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2007

    For women entering the US Navy, being a daily smoker is a prospective predictor of poorer performance in the Navy. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of cessation intervention with smoker-enlistees prior to their entering the Navy, to assess the impact on subsequent career outcomes

  • The five-factor model of personality as a framework for personality-health research

    Grant N Marshall, Camille B Wortman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1994Cited by: 13

    The NEO Five Factor Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI; Costa & McCrae, 1989) and representative personality scales drawn from health psychology were administered to 2 samples of male military recruits (Ns = 296 and 502). Factor analysis of health-related personality scales revealed 3 conceptually meaningful domains. Examination of these domains and their constituent scales, with reference to the 5-factor model of personality, permits 3 general concl…

  • Distinguishing optimism from pessimism

    Grant N Marshall, Camille B Wortman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1992Cited by: 28

    Contrary to unidimensional conceptions of optimism and pessimism, factor analysis of 2 widely used instruments revealed that optimism and pessimism are empirically differentiable, but related, constructs. Moreover, consistent with expectations, optimism and pessimism were differentially linked with fundamental dimensions of mood and personality. Pessimism was principally associated with neuroticism and negative affect. Optimism was primarily asso…

  • Effects of Response Style on Polarity and Validity of Two-Dimensional Mood Models

    Open AccessRoss R Vickers, Linda K HervigARTICLEPsychological Reports1987

    Unipolar and bipolar two-dimensional models have been proposed to represent mood. This study showed that a given data set will produce both a unipolar model and a bipolar model when a response-style adjustment is employed. The two models provided mathematically equivalent descriptions of a single-factor space and were equally valid for describing mood differences between successful and unsuccessful military recruits and between recruits in differ…

  • Type A Behavior Pattern and Coping and Defense

    Ross R Vickers, Linda K Hervig et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1981

    The relationship of coping and defense to Type A behavior pattern (TABP), as measured by the Structured Interview and the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS), was investigated to understand the dynamics of TABP and psychological factors associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. It was hypothesized that global TABP and its component "speed and impatience" would be related to the use of defense mechanisms, while the TABP attribute "job involveme…

  • Heritability of Type A Behavior

    Richard H Rahe, Linda K Hervig et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1978

    Ninety-three pairs of monozygotic and 97 pairs of dizygotic middle-aged, American, male twins were studied to estimate the heritability of Type A behavior--a coronary heart disease-prone behavior pattern. Participants were given the interview assessment of Type A behavior. In addition, they completed four psychological test batteries: the Thurstone Temperament Schedule, the Jenkins Activity Survey, the California Psychological Inventory, and the …
