Decisiveness and psychological adjustment.
Decisiveness, defined as the ability of the individual to engage in the decision-making process, was examined in relation to a number of parameters of psychological adjustment. Six decisiveness instruments, a series of adjustment measures, and peer rating assessments were obtained for 228 volunteer subjects. The pattern of relationships between the decisiveness measures suggested that decisiveness is not a monolithic trait, but rather is multidimensional. The relationship between the decisiveness and adjustment, with the impressionistic, global measures of decisiveness showing a stronger relationship to adjustment than the behavioral, objective ones. However, contamination of the data due to methods factors was observed, and sex was seen to be a factor in the interaction between decisiveness and adjustment. Methodological improvements and suggestions for further research are offered.
