[Personality development in children after renal transplantation].

Twelve children cared for renal failure at the Hôpital-des-Enfants-Malades, dialysed and who have been transplanted for more than one year, were studied from a psychological view point. We have been using the Rorschach's test, projective technique selected for a collaborative study by the European dialysis centers. During the stage of renal failure, there appears considerable worry about body image and functioning, and psychic upheaval. During the period of haemodialysis, conflicts become latent and regression comes to the foreground. Some time after the transplantation took place, the psychological conflicts are again mobilized. There is a danger that they lead to dead-ends if guilt feelings impair too heavily this dynamic process.

Change and sameness in personality development: unwarranted conclusions.

A recent paper by Haan and Day reports personality characteristics displaying change and sameness during the course of a longitudinal study. The personality characteristics had been classified according to statistical criteria following which the personality qualities within each category were interpreted. Thus the usefulness of the interpretation depends upon the basis for classification of the personality characteristics. The present note calls attention to three fundamental statistical errors in the Haan and Day classification scheme, errors which influence dramatically and adversely the consequent interpretations.

Beyond despair and disengagement: a transactional model of personality development in later life.

It is argued that ego analytic, disengagement, and symbolic interaction theories of personality share an insufficient consideration of the dynamics of the interaction between developmental and social forces transpiring during the aging period. An alternative, transactional model is proposed, positing that the effects of the environment to which the elderly person is subject are the product of: (1) the people and settings comprising that environment and (2) the manner in which the individual acts upon and is acted upon by these people and settings. The model highlights the need for research in which present behavioral and environmental events assume as much importance as past ones.

Facial imagery and personality development.

The empirical relationship between judgments obtained with a motorized facial-distortion mirror and relevant personality and rating measures was examined. Subjects were 88 school children. The findings indicated general trend differences between males and females in perceiving facial distortion shown in a mirror. Although not statistically significant, a relationship between teachers' ratings on hygiene, self-concept, sociability, and two scales of the High School Personality Questionnaire were noted.
