Nursery school personality and political orientation two decades later
Venturing a 30-year longitudinal study
Longitudinal inquiry has long been recognized as a uniquely powerful method for seeking understanding of psychological development. A 30-year longitudinal venture is described--its theoretical motivation, methodological rationale, and details of implementation. Some of the novel and implicative findings the study has generated are briefly described. Common to all of the results is an absolute reliance on long-term, widely ranging, independent dat…

Preschool antecedents of defense mechanism use in young adults
Preschool antecedents of the use of defense mechanisms were longitudinally studied using data from 90 nursery school children who were again evaluated at age 23. Defense use was determined by coding Thematic Apperception Test (H.A. Murray, 1943) stories with a method previously shown to be reliable and valid. The findings indicated continuity between preschool personality and subsequent defense use for male participants but little continuity for …
The roots of ego-control in young adulthood
This study examined the early parenting correlates of ego-control, the modal threshold for the expression or containment of impulse. Fifty-three female and 50 male participants were followed between 3 and 23 years of age. Ego-control was measured in early childhood (ages 3 and 4) and, independently, in early adulthood (ages 18 and 23) using a Q-sort prototype based on observer ratings. Parenting during early childhood was indexed using a self-rep…

A contrarian view of the five-factor approach to personality description
The 5-factor approach (FFA) to personality description has been represented as a comprehensive and compelling rubric for assessment. In this article, various misgivings about the FFA are delineated. The algorithmic method of factor analysis may not provide dimensions that are incisive. The "discovery" of the five factors may be influenced by unrecognized constraints on the variable sets analyzed. Lexical analyses are based on questionable concept…

Positive illusions and well-being revisited
The differing interpretations of the relation between positive illusions and well-being held by Taylor and Brown and by us cannot be reconciled. We urge motivated readers to evaluate our respective formulations closely and develop their own conclusions
Positive illusions and well-being revisited
Do positive illusions foster mental health? An examination of the Taylor and Brown formulation
The proposition recently offered by S. E. Taylor and J. D. Brown (1988) that positive illusions foster mental health has garnered considerable attention and acceptance. However, the significant theoretical and applied implications of their view for mental health require a critical evaluation of their argument. An examination of the logic and empirical evidence used to relate mental health to three key positive illusions--unrealistically positive …
A Longitudinal Study of Consistency and Change in Self-Esteem from Early Adolescence to Early Adulthood
Ego development and individual differences in personality
The relation between individual differences in personality and differences in developmental maturity was studied by relating observations of personality by multiple, independent judges to level of ego development. The personality characteristics of longitudinally followed Ss (104 at age 14; 98 at age 23) were evaluated by the California Adult Q-Set (CAQ); ego level was evaluated by the Washington University Sentence Completion Test of Ego Develop…
Self-Concept and Need for Achievement of Men with Physical Disabilities
Self-concept and need for achievement of athletically active and relatively inactive American males with physical disabilities were investigated using the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale Counseling Form (Fitts, 1965) and the Thematic Apperception Test (McClelland, Clark, Roby, & Atkinson, 1949). The subjects were 45 men, ranging from 18 to 40 years old, with physical disabilities. We hypothesized that subjects in the athletically active group had a …
Preadolescent antecedents of depressive symptomatology at age 18
Personality antecedents of depressive tendencies in 18-year-olds
Antecedents of depressive tendencies at age 18 were longitudinally evaluated using data from nursery school through high school. Depression was measured by CES-D scores from which the contribution of self-reported anxiety was partialed. As early as age 7, boys who subsequently acknowledged dysthymia were aggressive, self-aggrandizing, and undercontrolled whereas girls with later depressive tendencies were intropunitive, oversocialized, and overco…

The role of ego-control, ego-resiliency, and IQ in delay of gratification in adolescence
The delay-of-gratification behavior of 104 14-year-old Ss (54 girls and 50 boys) was assessed in an experiment in which each subject chose between immediate monetary payment and larger, delayed payment on 5 occasions. Personality data were obtained on these adolescents in the form of California Adult Q-Set ratings made by several research examiners who were blind to the subjects' delay behavior. The number of delayed payments chosen was strongly …

Delay of gratification
Two brief laboratory tasks measuring delay of gratification in different ways were administered to 116 four-year-old children. Personality data were available on these children separately at ages 3, 4, 7, and 11 years in the form of California Child Q-Set ratings by independent sets of teachers and examiners. The two delayof-gratification measures were standard scored and composited to generate a more broadly based index of delay of gratification…

Is satisfaction with self a measure of adjustment
Critique of the act frequency approach to personality
Evaluates the the act frequency approach (AFA), noting that retrospective self-reports rather than behavioral acts are studied; act context and meaning are not considered; the AFA self-report inventories are incompletely developed and are psychometrically unsound; the AFA claim of absolute measurement of dispositions is insupportable; many of the self-report act statements used are technically unacceptable or conceptually unwarranted; the researc…

Some personality correlates of confidence, caution, and speed in a decision situation
A number of personality correlates of decision in a psychophysical situation were found. Overly confident people tended to be rigid and dogmatic; overly cautious people tended toward introspection and self-abasement, and individuals with realistic confidence in their decisions appeared to be self-reliant and socially perceptive. Fast deciders (in this particular situation) were passive, suggestible, and conforming, while slow deciders were ascend…

The Relation Between Intention to Conceive and Symptoms During Pregnancy
The primary finding we report is a relationship between choice with regard to pregnancy and the development of symptoms during pregnancy. In three groups consisting of 18 mothers of schizophrenic children, 37 mothers of moderately disturbed children, and 28 mothers of children without known emotional disturbance, no significant differences were found in the number of symptoms during pregnancy claimed by the three groups. There was also no differe…

The Q-sort method in personality assessment and psychiatric research.
Just about a dozen years ago William Stephenson, then teaching in the University of Chicago, introduced American psychology to his Q-technique. As doctorate researches and publications appeared out of various teaching centers, and especially following publication of Stephenson's book, the turbulence of controversy filled the air. The high and low pressures of warm enthusiasms and cold, or acerb, criticisms were in collision. The atmosphere has no…
