A Validity Study of the MMPI-TRI Acting-Out Scale
49 college men and 45 women were administered the 1995 MMPI-TRI by Swanson, Templer, Thomas-Dobson, Cannon, Streiner, Reynolds, and Miller and a short form of the MMPI with scales for Subjective Distress, Acting-out, and Psychosis. To test the validity of the Acting-out scale respondents also took measures of sexual and aggressive acting out as well as a measure of alcohol use. They were asked about their use of drugs. Women had significant corre…
Relationships between Schill's Self-Defeating Personality Scale and Coolidge's Personality Disorders Inventory
81 men and 82 women were administered Schill's (1990) Self-defeating Personality Scale and Coolidge's (1992) Axis Two Inventory. As expected, Schill's and Coolidge's measures of self-defeating personality disorder were highly correlated (.70 for men and .74 for women). Scores on Schill's scale also had correlations > .50 with scores on six of the other personality disorder scales for men and five for women. This argues against self-defeating pers…
Relation of Reports of Sexual Abuse to Scores on Self-Defeating Personality Scale
One of the suggested antecedents of a pattern of self-defeating behavior has been the experience of sexual abuse. In this study 146 male and 129 female college students self-reported whether they had experienced sexual abuse using Russell's 1983) Sexual Abuse Interview Schedule. Thirty-nine men and 73 women self reported in the affirmative. For both men and women, the abused groups had significantly higher scores on Schill's 1990 Self-defeating P…
Self-Defeating Personality, Argumentativeness, and Assertive Self-Statements
55 men and 55 women were administered Schill's Self-defeating Personality Scale, an argumentativeness scale, and a measure of assertive self-statements. Women with higher scores on the Self-defeating Personality Scale had lower scores on the argumentativeness scale. Both men and women scoring higher on the Self-defeating Personality Scale recalled having thoughts which inhibited them from making assertive statements. These results were discussed …
Social Skills of Persons with Self-Defeating Personality
55 undergraduate men and 55 women took Schill's 1990 Self-defeating Personality Scale and Lorr, Youniss, and Stefic's (1991) multidimensional Social Relations Survey. As expected, persons who endorsed more self-defeating characteristics scored lower on scales which make up the Social Skills or Assertiveness Factor. However, these scores did not have significant correlations with the Empathy or Social Approval Need Scales; two of the three scales …
Relation among Self-Defeating Personality, Troubled Eating Patterns, and Dissociation
Significant small correlations were found between scores on a measure of self-defeating personality with scores on the Bulimia Test-Revised (r = .27) and also scores on the Dissociative Experiences Scale (r = .20) for a sample of 165 college women. The correlation between the Bulimia Test and the Dissociative Experiences Scale was .26. Although the research literature led us to expect stronger relationships on theoretical and empirical grounds, i…
Self-Defeating Personality and Depression
55 men and 55 women were given Schill's Self-defeating Personality Scale, a measure of Beck's cognitive triad, and a measure of the personality dimensions of sociotropy and autonomy. The more characteristics of self-defeating personality endorsed, the more negative were subjects' cognitions about themselves, the world, and the future. Self-defeating men and women scored higher on sociotropy (social dependence), suggesting threats to relationships…
The Relationship between Self-Monitored Aggression and the MMPI-2 F, 4, 9 Composite and Anger Content Scale Scores
Undergraduates, 47 men and 79 women, took the MMPI-2 and self-monitored their aggressive acting out for one week. As expected, the MMPI composite score for F, 4, 9 and the anger content scale were correlated positively with monitored aggressive acting out, particularly for men. However, the magnitude of the correlations was slight, indicating it would be inappropriate to use them to make critical judgments regarding aggressive acting out with thi…
Adult Attachment, Love Styles, and Self-Defeating Personality Characteristics
The present research showed for 79 men and 79 women that people with more characteristics of the proposed self-defeating personality diagnosis had less secure adult attachments. In addition, self-defeating women described their style of loving as game playing and being less romantically involved. Both men and women who were more self-defeating, once in a relationship, reported feeling dependent, jealous, and desperate to maintain it. These result…
Self-Defeating Personality, Depression, and Pleasure from Activities
Prior research has shown people who scored high on a measure of self-defeating personality experienced less pleasure from various activities and accomplishments. The present research replicated the initial study with 55 men and 60 women, while controlling for the effects of depression. Analyses indicated that, while depression and self-defeating personality were related, depression was not the entire answer for why people with self-defeating pers…
Pleasure from Activities and Self-Defeating Personality
As predicted, people who scored higher on a measure of Self-defeating Personality reported experiencing less pleasure and enjoyment from individual and social activities as well as from personal accomplishments. The results were consistent with the idea that these people maintain a self-image of "loser" by minimizing or discounting positives in their lives. Results were also consistent with prior research showing a positive relationship between s…
Attachment Histories for People with Characteristics of Self-Defeating Personality
Correlations of undergraduates' responses (79 men, 79 women) to the Self-defeating Personality Scale and Gough and Heilbrun's Adjective Check List indicated people who had more characteristics of self-defeating personality were more likely to recall ambivalent and avoidant attachment histories regarding their mothers. There was a tendency for men to recall avoidant attachment histories for fathers as well. These results lend some support to Glick…
Self-Defeating Personality
No support was found for the hypothesis that self-defeating behavior results in secondary gain, i.e., more supportive behaviors from others
Self-Defeating Personality
No support was found for the hypothesis that self-defeating behavior results in secondary gain, i.e., more supportive behaviors from others. Two of the eight criteria for diagnosing self-defeating personality disorder involve rejecting opportunities for pleasure (criterion five) and being uninterested in and rejecting people who treat one well (criterion seven). Berglas (1989) has suggested there is a secondary gain for people with self-defeating…
Self-Defeating Personality and Strategies for Coping With Stress
Self-Defeating Personality and Strategies for Coping with Stress
People who scored higher on a measure of self-defeating personality also scored low on ego-strength, showed an external locus of control, and used less adaptive coping strategies than those who scored lower. These strategies (denial, mental disengagement, alcohol and drug use) were viewed as helping to perpetuate their positions as victims
The Role of Just World Belief and Anger Issues in Self-Defeating Personality
Persons who scored higher on a measure of self-defeating personality did not believe in a just world as implied in the writings of such theorists as Reik (1941); however, they had a greater awareness of anger and feelings of mistrust and suspiciousness of others, held anger in, and were self-critical. These latter findings are consistent with conclusions regarding masochism proposed in 1991 by Glickauf-Hughes and Wells
Self-Defeating Personality and Perceptions of Family Environment
Self-Defeating Personality and Problems With Dating, Assertion, and Relationships
68 women but not 51 men who scored higher on a measure of self-defeating personality had greater difficulty with dating and situations calling for assertion, reported having experienced more self-defeating relationships, and staying in them for a longer period of time. The results were seen as partial support for the measure of self-defeating personality since two common characteristics of this personality style are passivity or lack of assertive…
Correlations between Self-Handicapping and Self-Defeating Personality
In this study scores on Strube's self-handicapping scale were correlated with scores on Schill's self-defeating personality scale. Berglas believes there are subtypes of self-defeating personality and that his concept of self-handicapping should be correlated with the three criteria which represent a self-protective component of self-defeating personality. Some support for Berglas' proposition was found, particularly for men. However, correlation…
Self-Defeating Personality, Self-Reinforcement, and Depression
51 men who were more self-defeating were observed to use lower frequency of self-reinforcement and to be more depressed. The results were seen as supporting Beck's early work which proposed a relationship between depression and self-defeating patterns. They also provide construct validity for the measure of Self-defeating Personality used in the study
Correlations Between Self-Handicapping and Self-Defeating Personality
Self-Defeating Personality and Perceptions of Family Environment
People scoring higher on a scale of self-defeating personality perceived their family environments as lacking cohesiveness. Men also perceived their family environments as discouraging open expression of feelings, being unconcerned about school and work achievement, and providing no ethical or religious values. Results were seen as lending validity to clinical theories of masochism which relate lack of family support and lack of reinforcement for…
Development of Covert and Overt Hostility Scales From the Buss-Durkee Inventory
Countertransference in the Movies
This study examined the effect of viewing the movie Lovesick on college students' beliefs about countertransference and psychiatric practice. Consistent with the concerns of Gebbard and Gebbard (1985) that the public may develop erroneous beliefs about psychiatry from watching such movies, after seeing the film subjects were more accepting of sexual behavior between analyst and patient and were cynical about the motivation of the mental health pr…
Operation of Conflict in Selective and Reversal Learning
Blocks of free and forced reinforced trials were combined to provide rats swimming underwater in a Y-maze with one of two levels of conflict. Strong conflict was induced by requiring animals to make 4 left and 3 right reinforced runs within each block; weak conflict by 4 left and 1 right per block. In reversal, all animals were given successive blocks of 6 reinforced rights and 1 reinforced left. Findings were that strong conflict reliably retard…

Effects of Approval Motivation and Varying Conditions of Verbal Reinforcement on Incidental Memory for Faces
An attempt was made to determine whether high and low n approval Ss showed differences in incidental memory for faces after these stimuli were associated with positive, negative, or no (control) verbal reinforcement. Results were that the high n approval Ss, as a group, demonstrated greater incidental memory than did the low group ( p < .01). It was also found that high n approval Ss performed best under positive reinforcement while demonstrating…
Achievement Conflict and Level of Performance
Ss conflicted or nonconflicted in the achievement area, as assessed by Worell and Worell's Personality Conflict Scale, were compared on number of arithmetic problems completed in consecutive 2-min. periods. Ss whose scale responses indicated a preference for achievement but the presence of competing behaviors in achievement situations (high conflict) completed significantly fewer arithmetic problems than Ss whose responses indicated not only high…
Effects of Threat of Shock on Conflict Resolution and Conflict Generalization
Ss were exposed to a three-stage experimental conflict paradigm consisting of pretraining (weak conflict), conflict training (either strong conflict, strong conflict plus threat of shock for wrong responses, weak conflict, or weak conflict plus threat of shock for wrong responses), and post-conflict performance (weak conflict). The results indicated: (1) performance in a weak conflict situation was markedly affected by previous conflict exposure,…
Differences in Reaction to Frustration as a Function of Need for Approval
Differences in reaction to frustration on the Rosenzweig P-F test were assessed for high and low n approval Ss (as measured by the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability scale). as compared with the low group, high n approval Ss gave significantly fewer E responses ( p < .025) but more M responses ( p < .05). No differences were found for the 1 category
Differences in Reactions to Rosenzweig's P-F Study by Defensive and Nondefensive Repressors and Sensitizers
Repressor-sensitizer differences in expression of direct aggression (high scores on the extrapunitive dimension of Rosenzweig's Picture Frustration Study) were found only when the Marlowe-Crowne “defensiveness” measure was used to separate Ss into defensive and nondefensive types. Nondefensive repressors and sensitizers had significantly higher extrapunitive scores than defensive repressors. Since defensiveness in large part accounted for the dif…
Relationships between Hostility Guilt and Several Measures of Hostility
Scores on Mosher's forced-choice Hostility Guilt Scale for females were related to a projective and an objective measure of hostility. The projective measure was the extent to which 70 female undergraduates used the hostile alternative in making up sentences to a list of homonyms with hostile and neutral meanings. The objective measure was the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory. Hostility guilt correlated negatively and significantly with the projec…
Guilt and Self-Report of Hostility
Correlations were obtained between Mosher's forced-choice measure of hostility guilt and the subscales of the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory. For 58 men, Mosher guilt was related to the assault (-.27) and verbal (-.35) subscales and with assault (-.44), negativism (-.43) and verbal (-.40) sub-scales for 72 women. As anticipated, no significant relationship was found between the Buss-Durkee guilt scale (a measure of guilt as a feeling or state) a…
MMPI Social Introversion-Extroversion and Hypnotic Previous Existence Fantasies
2 extreme MMPI social introverts and 2 extroverts were hypnotically regressed to a prior existence and their descriptions of that existence were tape recorded. Later, judges rated each taped segment on 32 semantic differential scales. Personality had a marked effect on the quality of the hypnotic fantasies. Fantasies of introverts were judged to be passive, impotent, and negative in evaluation. Extroverts' fantasies were judged the exact opposite…

Coping with Loneliness and Locus of Control
The present study sought to determine the relative ability of internal and external subjects to handle the problem of loneliness. Research by Johnson and Sarason (1978) has suggested that an internal locus of control is much more effective in helping one deal with stressful life events. If this is the case, one should find a positive relationship between degree of loneliness and number of emotional and psychosomatic complaints on the Cornell Medi…
Interpersonal Trust and Coping with Stress
Repeated Exposure to Pornography and Arousal Levels of Subjects Varying in Guilt
The present research attempted to determine whether the negative relationship between level of guilt and tendency to respond sexually which is often found in the literature was due to the fact that guilt reduces sexual arousal as suggested by Galbraith (1968). Two studies were performed. In Study 1, 42 male undergraduates rated sexual arousal as well as a variety of other feelings after reading each of eight different pornographic passages. In St…
Responsible Assertion and Coping with Stress
The present study sought to determine whether assertion moderated the effects of stressful life events for 91 college men. Results suggest that the 21 responsible assertors (high scores for assertion and interpersonal trust) coped better with stressful events than the 26 non-responsible assertors (high scores for assertion and low scores for interpersonal trust)
Ucla Loneliness Scale and Effects of Stress
This study sought to determine how successfully lonely and non-lonely subjects (UCLA Loneliness Scale) cope with recent stressful life events. Correlational analysis indicated the higher the loneliness score the more emotional and somatic complaints were indicated on the Cornell Medical Index Form N2
Sex Differences, Internal-External Control, and Vulnerability to Life Stress
Coping with Stress
Dixon (3) proposed that humor is a significant factor in helping one cope with stress. Various case reports also suggested that humor can help one deal with stress. Norman Cousins (5) claimed he survived a near fatal illness by checking out of a hospital and into a hotel where he viewed comedy films day after day. Although humor seems to have potential to help one put stressful situations into a less threatening perspective for the moment, it is …
Coping with Stress and Irrational Beliefs
The present study tested whether people who endorsed fewer beliefs which Ellis designates as irrational coped more efficiently with stressful life events. Results indicated that this was the case. They reinforce the opinion that stress-management programs should focus on cognitive factors
Defensive Externality and Vulnerability to Life Stress
Research ( 2 ) suggests an external locus of control is less effective in helping one deal with stressful life events. Hochreich ( 1 ) has identified two subgroups of externally oriented subjects: defensive external persons, whose externality is presumed to reflect primarily a verbal technique of defense, and congruent external ones, whose externality reflects a more genuine belief that most outcomes are determined by forces beyond their personal…

An Ego State Analysis of the A-B Therapist Distinction
The therapist's characteristic which has received the most research attention over the past 25 years is the A-B therapist variable (4, 5 ) . They labeled certain therapists who were most successful working with schizophrenic patients A therapists and those least successful as B therapists. A therapists were characterized as being active, showing personal participation and having an ability to establish a trusting relationship in therapy. B therap…
Parent Ego States and Attitudes toward Family Life and Children
An attempt was made to relate Thorne and Faro's measure of parent ego state to child-rearing attitudes of college students. Results showed only limited support for the ego-state measure. Correlations were as expected for the nurturant-parent ego state but only for men. Few attitudes correlated significantly with the critical parent ego state
Social Support Resources
Although considerable research effort has been spent in documenting the beneficial effects of social support to individual well-being, little is known about the determinants of this resource or its distribution across sociocultural groups. The present study assessed the influence among college students of sex and sex role on three levels of social support resources: network characteristics, availability of several modes of support, and perceived …
