(Raymond Bernard), 1905-1998A P-technique study of a middle-aged episodic alcoholic was undertaken to get at the dynamic roots of the symptom. The ten dynamic traits in the Motivation Analysis Test were measured each day for 100 occasions using 5 objective test devices summed to an unintegrated, U, and an integrated, I, component for each. They were projection, fluency, preference, word association and decision speed. A measure of appeal (dependence need) and of the strength of the symptom was similarly measured. The longitudinal correlations were highly statistically significant and were analyzed in terms of path coefficients presenting a definite analysis of the etiology of the symptom which was consistent with general clinical observations and biography.Item Expectancies for future success as a function of locus of control, task structure and outcome(Wichita State University, Department of Psychology, 1978) O'Leary, D. E.; Walker, R. D.The present study investigated the relationship between personality and task dimensions of perceived locus of control. Male alcoholic subjects were administered Rotter's I-E scale and participated in both chance and skill tasks with expectancies for future success used as dependent variables. A series of complex interactions were obtained in which internal and external subjects provided differential levels of expectancy shifts as a function of both the nature of the task (chance or skill) and their success or failure on each. These interaction effects were discussed in terms of differential levels of motivation for internals and externals within change and skill tasks.Item Book review: "A guide to the clinical use of the 16 PF" by Samuel Karson and Jerry W.
