Suggests that penis envy leads to punishment of sexual aggression, and several psychoanalytic hypotheses for further experimentation on this construct are presented. (Editor)

This study concerned relationships between state (situationally defined) "n" Ach (need for achievement), trait "n" Ach, and sex of subject in 80 college freshmen. Three standard "n" Ach tests and the mean of "n" Ach states measured under nonarousal conditions were used as trait measures. State measures of…

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.

A twin-based analysis of personality inventory scales yields information relevant to construct validity. Criteria for construct validity derived from adolescent twin statistics are illustrated with Wiggins' MMPI Content Scales. A type of discriminant validity indicates that some scales are not distinct in terms of influences of familial…

Tests the validity of three hypotheses previously offered to explain the attenuating effects of pacifistic noncooperation on instigative aggression. Results indicated that all hypotheses, norm-conformity, compliance, and maintenance of power, were viable for subgroups of subjects. Also discusses individual differences and the temporarily…

This research focused on the development and articulation of the attributes given by individuals in describing others. Of special interest was the generality with which the individual uses an attribute to characterize stimulus persons. (Editor)

The association dimension of the Picture Identification Test (PIT) was used to investigate the motivation concepts of male and female university students classified as Declared Homosexual, Sexually Uncertain, Clinical Control, and Normal Control. (Editor)

This study examines eight hypotheses concerning personality and parental determinants of support and opposition to the Women's Liberation Movement. These cognitive, motivational, and parental variables are interpreted in relation to the differing dispositions of each group toward the issues raised by the women's movement. (Editor/RK)

If a motive for cognitive consistency and the extravert's preference for the arousing and novel are opposing tendencies, one would predict that highly extraverted individuals will show less preference for states of cognitive consistency than those who are less extraverted. Two experiments test this prediction. (Author/RK)
