The Temperament/Actualization Concept
The tide in humanistic psychology has been running against the psychobiological perspective. In this climate, the author and his students have gathered a body of data showing that the nonactualization of a temperament, a psychobiological trait of personality, is a significant predictor of maladjustment (e.g., other directedness and anxiety). The findings have led the author to propose the temperament/actualization concept, which is developed and …
Further Development of the Public-Private Congruence Technique 1
This paper reports on the replication and refinement of a technique for assessing the discrepancy between public social behaviors and private interaction proclivities. Generally, we replicated previous findings that this discrepancy predicts concurrent signs of maladjustment. The technique will prove valuable to those interested in the psychology of incongruence

Inherent Potentialities of Actualization
Biological factors are strongly emphasized in the actualization theories of Maslow and Rogers. Despite this emphasis, functionally nothing is known about the composition of the inherent potentialities of actualization. This study was intended to provide specific information about such potentialities. Toward that end, the study focused on the construct of the personality temperament, a trait having a significant genetic foundation. Using the tempe…
Rogerian Self-Actualization
Carl Rogers's construct of self-actualization changed significantly in its theoretical meaning and usage. In an early period, self-actualization identified Rogers's central motivational construct, which centered on optimal functioning. In later theoretical periods, the tendency toward self-actualization became part of a larger and more dynamic motivational model in which there exists the very good chance that self-actualization will conflict with…
Further Considerations of the Phenomenology of Proxemics
Subjective distance is the individual's experience of a particular objective interpersonal distance. In the present experiments, this distance was measured by subjects positioning two inanimate forms at a separation distance they judged as identical to an actual social spacing preceding the measurement task. In Exp. 1, subjective distances for 30 males and 30 females were assessed following a condition of inappropriate spatial closeness; the subj…
Distant Interpersonal Spacing and Psychological Distance
A recent line of research in the personal space area addresses the subject's experiential state of social spacing. One such study has reported that under close spacing, subjects experience the distance as significantly closer than the actual distance. This paper investigated the phenomenology of distant spacing. Females were moved beyond their preferred distance to another person and their judgments of the distant spacing were measured. Such a co…
