    Ipsative and Normative Scales in Adjectival Measurement of Personality: Problems of Bias and Discrepancy (1997)

    Notes: 887 respondents completed ipsative and normative versions of the PAL-TOPAS personality questionnaire. Data were analysed to test for (1) systematic bias in scores associated with the two response formats and (2) predictors of the magnitude of the discrepancy in the individual's ipsative and normative scores. Discrepancy was assessed for both item responses and scale scores. Sources of biases investigated included ipsative scaling artifact, extremeness of scores on the normative scales and response variability. Results showed that systematic bias in scale scores and magnitude of discrepancy were predicted by different factors. One source of systematic bias was associated with ipsative scaling artifact: the ipsative scales measure both the scale itself and rejection of other alternatives. A second source of systematic bias was acquiescence in response to normative items. A confirmatory factor analysis showed that a good but imperfect fit to the data may be obtained by constructing a structural model of the inter-relationship between normative and ipsative scores which accommodates both sources of bias. The strongest influence on discrepancy in scale scores was extremeness of normative scoring, associated with a bias towards either general acceptance or rejection of trait adjectives. It is concluded that both normative and ipsative response formats have limitations, and it may often be desirable to assess both.

    Age and Gender Differences in Perceived Accident Likelihood and Driver Competences (1996)

    Notes: Road traffic accident involvement rates show clear age and gender differences which may in part be accounted for by differences in risk perception and perceptions of driving competence. The present study extends and replicates that of Matthews and Moran (1986). Young (18–30 years) and older (45–60 years) male and female drivers responded to a questionnaire on perceived accident risk and driving competence (judgment and skill) with respect to themselves and four target groups, and also rated a series of videotaped driving sequences with respect to likelihood of accident occurrence and perceived driving competence. Results showed that effects of rater characteristics were generally confined to the questionnaire. Younger males were perceived as most likely to experience an accident and were judged to be lower than other groups in driving competence. Younger groups showed little bias against older groups and vice versa, but gender-related bias was apparent. The findings of Matthews and Moran were generally confirmed. The results are discussed with reference to four main issues: (1) demographic bias effects—which are generally weak; (2) stereotyping on the basis of gender and/or age of driver; (3) group-specific bias; (4) self-appraisal bias.

    Twenty-one traits of personality: An alternative solution for the occupational personality questionnaire (1995)

    Notes: Reports on a study conducted to examine the factor structure of theoccupational personality questionnaire (OPQ) on two independent samplesof 1,000 participants (2,000 for the study in total) drawn from thegeneral population of Great Britain. The results suggest that there maybe too many dimensions in the 31-scale concept model and too few in the14-scale factor model. An alternative 21-factor solution seems to bemore satisfactory, both in psychometric terms and by providingpersonality test users with a sufficient number of scales. This meansthat the OPQ could be more sensitive in discriminating real differencesin personality traits between individuals than is currently the case. Ifthe 21-factor model were adopted, the OPQ would be a more sensitive toolfor use in personnel selection, development and counselling. However,the use of personality tests in selection still remains controversial.

    Depression and the processing of emotional stimuli: A study of semantic priming (1991)

    Notes: Abstract This study used a semantic priming paradigm to test spreading activation network models of the effects of depression on attention and memory. Semantic priming and recognition memory for positive, neutral, and negative words were tested in depressed and matched control subjects. Stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between primes and target strings was manipulated to distinguish between automatic and controlled routes for the spread of activation. In unprimed lexical decision, depressives were slower to respond to neutral than to emotional words at the short SOA, suggesting tonic activation of emotional concepts in these subjects. However, depressives also showed enhanced automatic priming to neutral words, and reduced priming to emotional words, suggesting that depressives may be impaired in the automatic association of emotional concepts. On recognition memory, depressives committed most false positive responses to negative words, whereas controls committed most false positives to positive words, a finding interpreted in terms of elaboration strategies. Implications of the data for current network models of depression are discussed.

    Mood, neuroticism, and the encoding of affective words (1995)
    Springer
    Cognitive therapy and research 19 (1995), S. 563-587 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-2819
    Keywords: emotion ; neuroticism ; semantic priming ; associative networks
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Psychology
    Notes: Abstract A lexical decision task, with words of positive, neutral and negative content, was used to test for affective bias in word encoding. Bias in priming of response was also examined; stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) between prime and target words was manipulated to distinguish automatic and controlled priming. We tested for bias associated with emotional content of words, and with trait and state subject characteristics of neuroticism and pleasantness of mood. Results showed a variety of biases, but mood-congruence of priming of emotional words was found only in subjects selected for relatively extreme moods. In unprimed lexical decision, the strongest effect was a general processing advantage for negative words, although some variation between subject groups was found. Negative word-pairs also showed greater automatic priming magnitude than positive word pairs. Neutral words were more strongly primed in more neurotic subjects. The magnitude of controlled priming was greater for both types of emotional word than for neutral words. Implications of the results for spreading activation and attentional models of affective bias are discussed. It is concluded that there is a general, automatic processing advantage for negative words, but the “tuning” of the information-processing system to affective content varies with neuroticism and mood. Results are broadly consistent with “hybrid models” of affective bias, which propose that mood-congruence is influenced by several distinct mechanisms.

    Multiple factors of cognitive failure and their relationships with stress vulnerability (1990)

    Notes: Abstract Use of the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) in clinical research assumes that the questionnaire measures a single factor. A factor analysis of the CFQ was performed, on a sample of 475 students, using accurate procedures for determining the number of factors. These procedures gave mutually inconsistent results: at least two alternative factor structures can be extracted from the CFQ. An interpretable seven factor solution was found, but the CFQ probably has insufficient items to measure more than two strongly defined factors. The capacity of CFQ multiple factors to predict measures related to stress vulnerability was tested in a further study (N=57). Correlations between CFQ total score and neuroticism and use of coping strategies appeared to depend mainly on a single CFQ multiple factor, related to failures of concentration. Some of the other CFQ factors predicted other criteria. Further research on multiple factors of cognitive failure might improve the validity of the CFQ as a predictor of stress vulnerability and of cognitive performance.
