Summary.The junior form of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, measuring extraversion, neuroticism and tendency to lie, was administered to two groups of children totalling 575, both boys and girls, ranging in age from 11–15. Children in the control group were tested and retested under identical instructions; children in the experimental group were tested under standard instructions but retested under instructions to ‘ fake good.’ As predicted there were highly significant changes in the experimental group towards greater lying and less neuroticism; there were no changes in extraversion as compared to the control group. Test/retest reliability in the experimental, as compared with the control group, were slightly lower for extraversion, considerably lower for neuroticism and very much lower for the lie scale. The results were interpreted as giving evidence that social desirability response set was unlikely to have accounted for more than a small portion of the variance in the original test s

摘要:

Summary.Eysenck's Personality Inventory (E.P.I., 1964) was given to first‐year students at the University College of Science Education, Cape Coast, Ghana. Their scores on this test were related to the only common academic measure among them—the intermediate examination in arts. Extraversion was found to be correlated significantly and negatively with success in this examination while neuroticism, though also negatively related, failed to reach significa

摘要:

Summary.An investigation is described in which data concerning the age of menarche were obtained from a sample of girls in three West Riding schools. Every care was taken to ensure the accurate reporting of this event. When the figures were compared with those obtained earlier from a closely similar group, a discrepancy of six months in the median age was noted. This is explained in terms of an artifact resulting from the method of reporting the event. When the more recent figures were compared with data obtained from other surveys conducted in the last sixteen years, no consistent secular trend was revealed.
