- Abstract
- An attempt was made to replicate previous work relating Eysenck’s personality dimensions to social attitudes. Sixty-one female student nurses from a district general hospital completed the P.E.N. inventory and the Wilson-Patterson Conservatism Scale. No significant correlation was obtained between psycho-ticism, neuroticism, extraversion, the lie scale, and any of the 6 social attitude variables. One hundred eleven female psychiatric patients completed the EPI Form A, and the Conservatism Scale. No significant relationship was found between neuroticism, extraversion, and any of the 6 social attitude variables. The lie scale correlated positively with the Conservatism vs. Liberalism Scale (p < .01) and the Ethnocentrism-Intolerance Scale (p < .05). Sixty-eight boys and 65 girls, aged 13 and 14, completed children’s versions of the PEN Inventory and the Conservatism Scale. Only 1 significant correlation, the lie scale and sex (negative), was consistent for both sexes.
