Prison Inmates: Institutional Adjustment, Educational Levels, Recidivism, and Escapism, Related to 16 Personality Factor ScoresMcKinlay, Thomas, fl. 1978- 05 1900 (has links)
The present study investigated the relationship of 16 Personality Factor (16 PF) Scores to institutional adjustment, educational level, recidivism, and escapism of 665 prisoners in a maximum security prison. Two phases of data analysis were conducted. Multiple two-tailed Students' t tests resulted in significant differences on all 16 PF Factor Scores between prisoners and Cattell adult norm group. Significant differences were also found between prisoners and Cattell prisoner norms. In phase two, four multiple linear regression models were constructed. Significant 16 PF scales, age, and educational differences were found within the prisoner sample. Possible implications of the use of the 16 PF in regression models in paramorphic clinical prediction programs are discussed.

Personality, payoff information and behaviour in a two-person bargaining gameMack, David January 1969 (has links)
Previous studies of the influence of personality on behaviour in experimental games have provided conflicting and inconclusive results. The present investigation was designed to search on a broad front for personality correlates of behaviour in a two-person bargaining game, the one used being a derivation of the Deutsch and Krauss Trucking Game. Five personality tests, covering fifty-three personality traits, were administered to 192 undergraduate students attending courses at The University of Stirling, and from these the experimental groups were randomly chosen, the only constraint being the sex of the subjects. The tests were The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire, The Guilford/Zimmerman Temperament Survey, The Study of Values Test, The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule, and The Test of Social Insight. The trucking game was played for 30 trials by two groups of subjects, each containing 24 male dyads and 24 female dyads, under two experimental conditions: Condition I, where subjects had access to full information regarding the other's payoffs, and Condition II, where only incomplete information of the other's payoffs was available. It was hypothesized that behaviour in the game would be influenced by (i) amount of information available about the payoffs of the other; (ii) sex of the players (comparing single-sexed dyads); and (iii) players' personality. No differences due to either amount of information available about the other's payoffs, or sex of the players, were found. An analysis of the data provided by the combined experimental groups, however, successfully located indications of personality effects on behaviour in the game, as measured by total joint payoff summed over 30 trials, total time taken, the number of concessions made to the other player, and first strategy-choice on individual trials. The personality variables concerned were Emotional Stability and Radicalism/Conservatism, (Factors C and Ql of The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire); Personal Relations, (Factor P of The Guilford/Zimmerman Temperament Survey); Theoretical Value, (T scale of The Study of Values Test); Exhibition, ('exh' variable of The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule); and Cooperativeness, (Scale III of The Test of Social Insight). It is suggested that the relationship of these personality variables to game-playing behaviour should be the subject of further investigation.

The cross-cultural compatability of the 16 personality factor inventory (16PF)Abrahams, Fatima 11 1900 (has links)
This study focused on the 16PF (SA 92), a personality questionnaire that was developed in
the USA and adapted for South African conditions. The main aim of the study was to
determine whether the scores of the 16PF are comparable in a cross-cultural setting in South
Africa. The influence of age, language, socio-economic status and gender on the scores were
also determined.
The sample consisted of black, white, coloured, and Indian university students and were
drawn from the University of Western Cape, University of Pretoria, University of DurbanWestville,
and University of Natal.
To achieve the aims outlined construct comparability studies and item comparability studies
were conducted. In addition, descriptive statistics were also calculated to provide a general
picture of the performance of the various sub-samples. A qualitative study was also
conducted to determine some of the reasons for the occurrence of item incomparability of the
racial sub-sample.
The results showed that the racial variable had the greatest influence on the scores obtained.
Problems existed with the construct and item comparability of the 16PF when the different
race groups were compared. In addition, significant mean differences were also found on the
majority of factors when the scores of the different race groups were compared. The results
of the qualitative study showed that participants whose home language was not English or
Afrikaans had difficulty in understanding many of the words and the construction of
sentences contained in the 16PF.
The implications of using the 16PF in South Africa, with its multicultural population was
outlined, taking the new labour legislation pertaining to selection into consideration.
Finally, a number of options for test users, and users of the 16PF in particular were
presented. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / D.Com. (Industrial Psychology)

16-PF as meetinstrument vir dir keuring van opvoedkundige sielkundiges / The 16-PF as tool for the selection of educational psychologistsLessing, A. C. (Anna Christina), 1947- 11 1900 (has links)
Summary in English / Research was conducted to determine whether the 16-PF can be used as an objective
measurement for the selection of prospective educational psychologists. A wellgrounded
literature study was performed about the task of the educational psychologist
and skills and personality features which make the task of the educational psychologist
easier. The task of the educational psychologist is not of an individual nature, directed
at individual problems any more, but covers a wide field which demands that the
educational psychologist comes forward with new initiatives. The traditional task of
diagnosing, assisting, administrating and conducting research must be extended to one
which also emphasizes proactive programmes, mental health, prevention of problems
and human development. The nature of the task makes high demands on the
educational psychologist and requires the mastering of a variety of skills.
A large variety of factors have been found in literature which could make the task of the
educational psychologist easier. These factors can be grouped together as cognitive
factors, factors which contribute to the creation of an educational climate and
accompanying interpersonal relations and rapport, factors which indicate the use of an
external reference framework, and factors which indicate mental health. These
identified factors were related to the factor patterns of the 16-PF and were derived to
personality factors. These latter factors which were thus obtained, were used to compile
a personality profile for educational psychologists.
The following personality profile for educational psychologists was derived from the
literature study: outgoing (affectothymia; A+), high intelligence (B+), higher ego
strength (C+), higher superego strength (G+), socially venturesome (H+), shrewdness
(N+) and self-assuredness (0-). According to literature, withdrawal (A-) and dominance
(E+) are regarded as negative features of the educational psychologist.
The personality profile was assessed by experts with the use of the Delphi technique.
From the results of the Delphi investigation it appears that the experts support the
suggested personality profile. The personality features are regarded as extremely
important, and comment on the personality profile was positive.
The findings of the research contribute to the solution of the problem around the
selection of educational psychologists since an objective assessment of the prospective
student's abilities can be obtained by means of the 16-PF. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Sielkundige Opvoedkunde)

Empowerment of IT Manager and PerformanceWang, Yu-Ning 20 August 2009 (has links)
Today, computers and communications have changed the relationship among firms, the structure of some existing companies, the advancement of information technology (IT), and increased competition among enterprises. IT plays an important role in enterprise. IT Managers face global competition, and therefore, must be prepared to respond to abrupt changes. They need to ensure their capabilities and resources are sufficient to cope with the environmental challenges that arise. Therefore, this research will concentrate on investigating the relationships among empowerment, leadership style, personality of IT manager and IT department performance. The moderating effects of organizational culture and organizational structure on the relationship between IT manager characteristics and IT department performance are also considered in the study.
The result shows four major findings. First, empowerment of IT manager has a significant positive effect on IT department performance. Second, the presence of a transformational leadership style of IT manager has positive effects on IT department performance. Third, IT managers classified as Internal LOC have significantly higher departmental performance than IT managers classified as External LOC. Finally, organizational culture and organizational structure were shown to have no moderating effect between empowerment of IT manager and IT department performance.
The findings of this research can serve as a reference for organizations to improve selection of managers with potential for improving department performance.

Souvislosti mezi vybranými osobnostními charakteristikami Cattellova 16 faktorového modelu osobnosti, rodinnými faktory a mírou konzumace alkoholu / The relationship between selected traits from the Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Model, family factors and the rates of alcohol consumption.Convoy, Klára January 2021 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the relationship between the selected traits of the Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Model, the family factors and the rates of alcohol consumption. Attention is paid to the description of personality, to the theory of personality and also to the description of Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Model. This work also deals with the description of alcohol and the factors that may be related to its use and the use of other addictive substances. The function of alcohol, the consumption patterns and addiction issues are also described. The quantitative research was chosen. The target was to determine whether there is a realationship between selected personality characteristics of Cattell's 16 Personality Factor Model, the primal family influences, the demographic variables, and the level of alcohol consumption. The methods used in this research were: Cattell's 16 factor personality questionnaire and the BSQF (Beverage specific quantity-frequency) questionnaire, which made it possible to determine the average daily consumption of pure alcohol in grams and to determine the level of consumption based on this. There were questionnaire methods added to include additional questions that examined the family situation during childhood, substance abuse of biological parents, the...

Psychometric properties of a Venda version of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF)Mantsha, Tshifhiwa Rebecca 10 1900 (has links)
A Venda version of the South African Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire Fifth edition(16PF5) was develop using forward and back translation methods. This version was administered to a sample of 85 Venda speaking subjects. Subjects ranged in age from 18 to 30 years old. Item analysis was done and a qualitative analysis of the reasons why items were not successful was done for each scale. Reasons identified included translation errors, problems in understanding the vocabulary and idiomatic language used, the use of the negative form and possible differences in the manifestation of constructs. Given the large number of items to be excluded, only general trends were indicated as to avoid over interpretation. These trends need to be considered when changing or replacing items. The results of this study can be regarded as a first step in developing a Venda version of the 16PF5. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

Die verband tussen persoonlikheid en toesighouersukses in die suiwelbedryfDoman, Francois 04 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans, abstract in Afrikaans and English / Die primere doelstellings van die navorsing is om die verband
tussen persoonlikheid en toesighouersukses te bepaal.
Persoonlikheid is deur die 16-Persoonlikheidsfaktorvraelys
( 16PF) en toesighouersukses deur 'n prestasiebeoordelingstelsel
gemeet. 'n Literatuurstudie van persoonlikheidsteoriee en vorige
navorsing is gebruik om die verwantskap tussen persoonlikheid
en werksukses te verifieer en die navorsingsbehoefte aan te dui.
Die steekproef is 74 toesighouers, hoofsaaklik blanke mans, by
'n fabriek van 'n suiwelvervaardigingsmaatskappy. Die
verwantskap tussen die 16PF-resultate en toesighouersukses is
statisties deur Pearson en Spearman se
Produkmomentkorrelasiemetode, Standaard en Stapsgewyse
meervoudige regressie en T-toetse vir onafhanklike groepe
bepaal.
Die resultate toon dat slegs faktore B, C, L, 0, Q4 en die
tweedeordefaktor QII van die 16PF 'n beduidende verband met
toesighouersukses het. Dit is bevind dat ouderdom,
ondervinding en kwalifikasie nie die verwantskap tussen
persoonlikheid en toesighouersukses be'invloed nie. Hoewel
hierdie bevindinge nie veralgemeen kan word nie, moet
persoonlikheid wel deeglik by die evaluering van personeel, byvoorbeeld in seleksie, oorweeg word. / The aim of the research is to establish the relationship between
personality and supervisor success. Personality was measured
with the 16-Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) and
supervisor success through a performance measuring system. A
literature study was done to verify the relationship between
personality and work success.
The sample consisted of 74 supervisors, mainly white males,
working at a dairy factory. The relationship between the 16PF
results and supervisor success has been statistically established
through Pearson and Spearman's Product-moment correlation
method, standard and stepwise multiple regression analysis and
T-tests for independent groups.
The results show that factors B, C, L, 0, Q4 and the second
order factor QII of the 16PF has a meaningful relationship with
supervisor success. It was found that age, qualifications and
experience do not influence the relationship between personality
and supervisor success. The findings cannot be generalized but
personality can be taken into consideration when evaluating
employees, for example in selection. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M. Comm. (Bedryfsielkunde)
