Clinical correlates of the PRF Androgyny scale in an alcoholic population.

Clinical correlates of the PRF Andro were examined in an alcoholic population. Measures included the Sensation Seeking Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory, Symptom checklist--90, the Cornell Medical Index and Rotter's Locus of Control. Of 28 possible relationships, only five measures were found to be weakly associated with androgynous subtypes. Androgynous subtypes appear largely unrelated to the psychological and physical health of alcoholics.

An MMPI subscale (Gd): to identify males with gender identity conflicts.

This study reported on the development and cross-validation of a 31-item MMPI Gender Dysphoria subscale (Gd) which accurately discriminates between gender identity patients and matched controls, and identifies males with gender dysphoria syndrome. Both the validity and reliability of the Gd scale has been demonstrated and there is every expectation that the scale has excellent potential for clinical usage. In the construction of the Gd scale, we have addressed the major methodological problems of previous studies which have used psychological tests to assess gender role and identity disturbances: small criterion groups, a lack of an appropriate control group, and prediction of too many false positives.

An illustration of issues in factor extraction and identification of dimensionality in psychological assessment data.

Structural validity has long been regarded as critical to psychological measurement. However, in practical application, issues central to structural validity are often neglected. The purpose of this study was to illustrate the importance of several crucial choices that face researchers attempting to evaluate the structure of data from a given scale. In this study, I compared the structural solutions derived via principal components analysis and principal axis factoring using eigenvalues, scree plots, and traditional parallel analyses with data from the Purpose in Life Test (Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1964). I discuss the importance of structural validity for overall construct validity and the importance of carefully considering factor analytic methodology. I provide recommendations for uses of factor analysis.

Religiosity in adolescence and young adulthood: implications for identity formation.

Based on previous correlations between religiosity and descriptions of character traits related to meaning and purpose in life described by Gladding, et al. in 1981, this study hypothesized significant differences in religiosity scores as a function of age. Variables of religious group and gender were also included. Subjects included 147 adolescents and young adults, 70 males and 77 females, largely Caucasian, attending fundamental, moderate, and liberal churches in Central and Northwest Arkansas. A 3 x 3 x 2 analysis of variance yielded significant main effects for age group and religious group but not gender. No interactions were found. Findings suggest relationships between religiosity and identity formation during adolescence.

[Resource support as the basis of projects for the prevention of violence and addiction].

Lastingly effective projects for the prevention of violence and addiction must ask which resources adolescents require for coping with their lives. A central criteria for a successful life is the creation of coherence in one's inner life and thus the basis for becoming capable of functioning in society. In earlier social eras, the readiness to take on ready-made identity packages was the central criteria for coping with life. Today, this depends on individual adaptation and identity work, and thus the capability for self-organisation, for "intentionality" or "embedding". Children and young people need "free spaces" in their worlds, in order to be able to outline themselves and to act formatively upon their everyday environment. The future prospects of adolescents depend upon their options for learning the "craft of freedom". Sustainable key qualifications for coping with life in globalised, digital capitalism must grasp education as a hard-headed process in which the subject's capacity for self-organisation is to be given optimal encouragement, so that the patchwork of their own identity can succeed as a self-determined creative project.

[The narcissistic family].

Based on the pathology of narcissism as displayed by a number of pre-psychotic and psychotic teenagers, this article deals with exploring the close dependence that is maintained between the patients and their nuclear families. Several of us, using a therapeutic approach in an institutional setting, are trying to bring defective narcissistic "givens" into play in order to give the teenager a chance at ex-istence... In this article, the author suggest pointing out the need for such a way of synchronizing particular concepts, pushing to the very limits of psychoanalysis.

[The individual as actor-character].

Daily life is the starting point as an obvious as well as normal comprehension web of others' and the world's. Daily life appears to us as a reality interpreted by Man who thus transforms a neutral fact into a meaningful event. The author aims at showing that experiences, perceptions, and actions among humans are compromised into a significative gathering. 'A person is not a thing which exists first, and, then, in relation to others'. Constantly, we think about others and what others are thinking about others: We can, thus, move into a third, a fourth, or a fifth level of perspectives. Don't we by chance come across this reciprocal spiral perspective when two people distrust one another without actually showing it? Above all, identity is part of expectations and other definitions' definitions, originated before birth and reaching further well after death. When you perceive the other, and the other perceives you, you are doing it through typified schemes, even when facing each other. These are reciprocal schemes which in turn become progressively anonymous as they recede away from the face to face situation.
