applicable to a wider field. This book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a balanced description of the investigations that can be carried out in the fields of intelligence, brain damage, perception and personality to mention but a few of the areas covered. The second part gives a very useful account of the various psychological methods of treatment, including psychoanalytically...

Humility is a core psychological process theoretically marked by low self-focus, secure identity, and balanced awareness of strengths and weaknesses. We began with a consensual definition of humility before theoretically unpacking it. First, using 25 samples and 2,622 adults, we developed the Brief State Humility Scale, which demonstrates strong construct validity and good reliability, is sensi...

, Personality & Social Psychology Bulletin May 1998 Author abstract Integrating Zajonc's affective Primacy framework with Steele and Southwick's Inhibitory Conflict Model, we hypothesized that alcohol would have its strongest impact when one's initial affective reaction was in direct conflict with more cognitively based inhibitory cues. In an alcohol by expectancy balanced placebo design, women...

'New age' activities, personality variables, symptomatology, and subjective well-being (SWB) among the Forum (F) participants, psychotherapy (P) clients, individuals who are both Forum and psychotherapy (FP) clients, and control (C) participants, who were never involved in either F or P were compared. A group of 64 Israeli men and 76 women (mean age = 38.55 years) completed a demographic questi...

There is continued debate about the appropriateness of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) for scale evaluation and latent variable modeling more generally. This study seeks to combine the strengths of EFA, namely flexible evaluation of item-factor structures, while using one of the unique strengths of CFA, the simultaneous adjustment for common method bias ...

In a 3-year longitudinal study, we found in a sample of young professionals (N = 82; 44% male; age range: 28 to 39 years) that self-reported behaviors reflecting selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) predicted global and work-specific subjective wellbeing (multiple correlations ranged from R = .22 to R = .44). In addition to optimization (i.e., implementing goal-relevant means), it wa...

Distance-balanced graphs are introduced as graphs in which every edge uv has the following property: the number of vertices closer to u than to v is equal to the number of vertices closer to v than to u. Basic properties of these graphs are obtained. In this paper, we study the conditions under which some graph operations produce a distance-balanced graph.

One hundred and fifteen undergraduate students (88 women and 27 men, mean age1⁄4 19.9 years) from a large urban university participated in this study for course credit. Individuals with moralistic and egoistic biases in self-perception (Paulhus & John, 1998) were tested for attentional biases and memory distortions following bogus personality feedback. Individuals with a moralistic bias (those ...
