How Religiousness Increases and Decreases Prejudice
Factor Structure and Factorial Replication of a New Measure of the Type a Behavior Pattern
The present study presents the first known use of the A-B Rating Scale, a measure of Type A behavior, with 276 female college students. The purpose of this research was to explore the factor structure of the A-B scale and especially to attempt a replication of the factor structure across samples. Analysis gave a three-factor solution (Drivenness, Hypomania, and Leadership). Congruence coefficients indicated that the scale possesses significant fa…
Relationship between Androgyny and Self-Monitoring
Bem's concept of androgyny and Snyder's concept of self-monitoring emphasize traits characterized by behavioral flexibility across situations. In the present study two measures of androgyny were correlated with self-monitoring, but only one of the measures was significantly related to self-monitoring. The findings suggest the need to re-examine the notion of androgyny
Evolutionary Logic and Adlerian Social Interest
Evolutionary explanations of human social behavior are increasing in popularity among social scientists. Unfortunately, many psychologists are ill-equipped to argue for or against evolutionary explanations. While numerous examples of inappropriate evolutionary analyses exist, the present article focuses upon one which is a subtle yet profound distortion in the service of maintaining the status quo of individual psychology. We hope our analysis wi…
Stability in the Factor Structure of the Modernity Scale
The factorial in variance of the Modernity Scale was investigated by using two samples of students (over two years) from a public university in the Pacific Northwest and two samples of students (over two semesters) from a small, church-affiliated university in the Midwest. Factor analysis consistently yielded a four factor solution, with the first factor demonstrating stability across the two church samples and across universities. However, the r…
Relationship of Locus of Control and Modernity to Certainty of Religious Beliefs
The present study investigated the relationship of certainty of religious beliefs to measures of psychological modernity and I-E for 21 college students. It was found that two of four certainty of belief scales correlated as predicted with modernity, while unexpectedly I-E did not relate to certainty of belief
