Sense of coherence, negative affectivity, and general health in farm supervisors.

Interview schedules were administered, 9 mo. apart, to 79 male first-line supervisors. The first included the 13-item Sense of Coherence scale (Antonovsky) and the PANAS, from which the Negative Affectivity scale was used; the second included two graphic rating scales for general health. Scores on Sense of Coherence and Negative Affectivity correlated -.30, indicating that the relationship is not always strong enough to assume that the former scale measures the inverse of the latter. Scores on Sense of Coherence and health ratings correlated .26, reducing to .25 with Negative Affectivity partialled out. This supports the validity of the Sense of Coherence scale as a measure of Antonovsky's "salutogenesis" construct.

The power motive, n power, and fear of weakness.

Among 85 male undergraduates, high need for power as measured by the 1968 Winter scoring system is shown to relate to high drinking frequency (p less than .01), high alcohol consumption (p less than .05), and taking the first drink at age 16 or less (p less than .05); to the Disinhibition ("Swinger") factor on Zuckerman's Sensation Seeking Scale (p less than .05) to poor academic performance (p less than .05); and to generate a regression equation with the California Psychological Inventory that suggests qualities of personal disorderliness and intellectual aggression. These findings, considered in terms of power motive theory, are seen as replicating earlier evidence that high n Power is maladaptie, voyeuristic and power avoidant.
