This study investigated the relationships between age and performance on scale scores for the Adjective Check List for a group of 206 nursing personnel. An analysis of within scale score differences showed statistically significant relationships between age and Self-control, Lability, Heterosexuality, Change, and Counseling Readiness. Differences between the directionality of 5 of the 10 correlation pairs formed by the matching of these scales and those reported by Gough and Heilbrun (1965) suggested that the latter intercorrelations may be sample and/or situationally specific. Finally, age had only a negligible influence on the intercorrelations examined, thus implying that age has a direct rather than a moderating influence on performance.

This study examined the correlations between age and scores on scales of the California Psychological Inventory for 1,137 accountants An analysis of within-scale score differences showed statistically significant correlations between age and Dominance, Capacity for Status, Sense of Well-being, Responsibility, Self-control, Good Impression, Achievement via Conformance, and Flexibility. Differences in direction of only three of the 28 correlation pairs found by the matching of scores on these scales and those reported by Gough in 1975 suggest that the latter intercorrelations are not sample- or situation-specific. Finally, age had only a negligible influence on the intercorrelations, allowing the inference that age has a direct rather than a moderating influence on these scores.

Low Magnitude

The relationship between role stress, i.e., role ambiguity and role conflict, and personality as measured by Gough and Heilbrun's (1965) Adjective Check List was examined on the basis of data drawn from 202 nursing personnel. Experienced role ambiguity correlated .17 with defensiveness, .15 with self-control, .13 with endurance, —.13 with order, —.15 with nurturance, .20 with aggression, and —.17 with deference, while role conflict was significantly related .12 with exhibition. These correlations (all significant statistically but of low magnitude) were interpreted in light of previous findings.

Male and female undergraduates were administered the Gough-Heilbrun Adjective Check List and a questionnaire assessing menstrual regularity. The females' reported regularity was positively correlated with scales for self-control, order, and endurance, demonstrating that women who describe themselves as orderly, methodical, persevering, and dependable are more likely to report a regular menstrual cycle than women reporting an irregular cycle. In contrast, men who projected themselves as women showed a negative relationship between orderly, rigid, and methodical behaviors and regular cycles.

This study was done to assess the influence of a response set, number of items checked, in the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL). In some previous studies, the response set was moderately correlated with the total scale scores of Anxiety, Depression, and Hostility, but in other studies the correlations were minimal. Ss were 432 male and 614 female undergraduates from colleges in the East, Midwest, and West. In the total sample, the number of items checked correlated low, but significantly, with the total scale scores. However, the magnitude of the correlations varied considerably among the three regional samples.

163 female graduate nurses described themselves using Gough and Heilbrun's Adjective Check List. The nurses scored higher on Dominance, Self-control, Achievement, Order, Self-confidence, Counseling, Readiness and Nurturance, among other variables and lower on Succorance, Change, Abasement, Lability and Number of Unfavorable Items Checked than the norms.

Simulated Driving Task

175 males and 175 females were administered a Mood Adjective Check List and were then tested in a simulated driving task. Correlations between mood factor scores and performance measures were computed. Little relationship appeared between mood factors and performance on the various tasks required in the operation of the device. However, in an analysis involving high and low mood-score groups for each mood factor, Ss scoring high on factors of aggression, anxiety, and fatigue performed more poorly on various tasks than Ss who scored lower on these factors. Also, performance of males was superior to that of the females on several tasks.

Horse Owners

Possibilities of matching companion animals other than dogs and cats to owners' personality types for physical and psychosocial benefits were explored. It was hypothesized that horse, turtle, snake, and bird owners would show significant differences on the personality scales of the Adjective Check List. 200 adults completed an experimenter-designed questionnaire and the check list. An analysis of variance was applied to the scale scores transformed into standardized T scores for each of the check list scales. Newman-Keuls tests showed that the horse owners were assertive and introspective but low in warmth and nurturance. Male horse owners were aggressive and dominant while female horse owners were easy-going and nonaggressive. Turtle owners were hard-working, reliable, and upwardly mobile. Snake owners were unconventional and novelty-seeking. Bird owners were socially outgoing and expressive. Like male horse owners, female bird owners were high in dominance. These demonstrated differences in owners' personality should facilitate matching people with some of the popular animal types other than dogs and cats to maximize the benefits of ownership of companion animals.

Normative data are presented for a male prison population on the Adjective Check List (Gough & Heilbrun, 1965), Form A of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (Eysenck & Eysenck, 1975) and Form C of the Depression Adjective Check List (Lubin, 1967). The intercorrelations among the instruments also are presented. In the sample were 60 recently admitted male inmates of a maximum security correctional institution randomly drawn from a larger sample of 205 consecutive admissions. Subjects describe themselves as markedly depressed, high on neuroticism, low in personal adjustment, low in self-confidence, and low in self-control.

Edwards Personal Preference Schedule

16 obese patients in a volunteer program of weight reduction were given the Adjective Check List (ACL) and the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) prior to beginning weight reduction. The patients were from 64.6% to 214.7% overweight. It was predicted that they would score lower than the normative group on the Achievement, Affiliation, Dominance, Endurance, Order, Personal adjustment, and Self-control scales, while higher scores were predicted for the Aggression, Exhibitionism, Heterosexuality, and Intraception scales. The predictions were upheld. In addition, the obese sample checked a significantly fewer number of Favorable Adjectives than did the normative group and more descriptive adjectives pertaining to Autonomy.
