Stimulus or Response Induced Excitation: A Comparision of the Behavior of Introverts and Extroverts.

Brebner, John; Cooper, Chris – Journal of Research in Personality, 1978
The tendency to inspect visual material (slides) rather than to move on to the next slide was compared among introverts and extroverts. Results show: 1) extroverts inspected stimuli for a shorter time; 2) extroverts made more and faster reponses; 3) extroverts produced significantly higher proportion of runs of accelerating responses.

Dollinger, Stephen J.; Taub, Susan I. – Journal of Research in Personality, 1977
Children differing in locus of control orientation (internals, mediums, and externals) were administered an extended coding task following either a fictional rationale for the study (purpose incentive statement) or no purpose. Implications of these findings for education and child-rearing are discussed. (Editor/RK)

Moyer, William W. – Journal of Research in Personality, 1978
This study investigated the relationship between internal and external locus of control in subjects in a verbal learning experiment. As hypothesized, the lack of freedom of choice was associated with decreased recall in internals. Being able to choose material lead to faster learning for both internals and externals. (Editor/RK)

Littig, Lawrence W.; And Others – Journal of Research in Personality, 1980
Hypothesis that externally oriented Black male subjects would view themselves as more Negro in appearance than they were judged by observers was tested by comparing subjects' and observers' judgments on scale of 15 faces which changed from Negro to Caucasian. Hypothesis was contradicted in 1968 study, supported in 1975. (Author/NRB)
