An Application of the California Psychological Inventory in a Study of Japanese Delinquency

The Significance of Three Scales Identifying a Delinquent Orientation among Young Australian Males

“…Research has demonstrated that this scale provided significant discriminations in this domain (Gough, 1960;Gough, 1965;Peterson, Quay and Anderson, 1959). studies have shown that the Socialization scale is not the only scale of the CPI which has provided significant discriminations in the field of delinquency (Mizushima and De Vos, 1967;Richardson and Roebuck, 1965). .…”

Relationship of familial and social factors to socialization in middle-class college students.

“…The first was that groups were defined on the basis of scores on the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) Socialization (So) Scale instead of Nye's delinquency questionnaire. The So scale has been found to differentiate significantly between delinquents and nondelinquents not only in the United States, but also in Austria, Costa Rica, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Switzerland, and Taiwan (Gough, 1965(Gough, , 1968(Gough, ,1969Gough & Sandhu, 1964;Mizushima & DeVos, 1967).

The Common-Item Problem in Measurement: Effects on Cross-Cultural Invariance of Personality Inventory Structure

“…A number of studies (Fong and Peskin, 1969;Gough, 1964;Mizushima and DeVos, 1967) have reported that the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) is valid in cultures other than the U.S.A., and one study (Levin and Karni, 1970) has reported that the CPI inter-scale structure as represented by smallest space analysis (SSA) (Guttman, 1968;Lingoes, 1973) is invariant between U.S. and Israeli samples. This latter study is the only one available that compares CPI internal structure between different cultural groups using recently developed multidimensional scaling procedures.…”
