Hostility and Personality in a Student‐Teacher Population

Abstract

Eighty men and 72 women student teachers completed the HDHQ and EPI questionnaires. A principal component analysis gave support to the HDHQ as measuring hostility, which may be expressed both intropunitively and extrapunitively. Mean group scores in the present study are compared with previously reported studies and found to be higher than expected. The significance of this and the relation of the HDHQ to the EPI measures are discussed.

Dysthymic Symptoms, Hostility and Scholastic Achievement in a Group of High‐school Students

“…Although extraversion does not imply extraverted hostility and introverted hostility does not imply introversion or neuroticism, it has been found that there is a positive association between these personality features (Foulds, 1965;Mayo & Bell, 1971). …”

Hostility scores in australian women with special reference to the battered wife

“…Subsequently Philip (1968) studied normal subjects in North-East Scotland. In the seventies, Mayo and Bell (1971) studied studentteachers in England, Gill (1 972) studied male Ethiopian students while Philip (1973) tested hospital staff in England. Henderson, Davidson, Lewis, Gillard & Baikie (1977) applied the test to high school students in Tasmania and demonstrated a fall in hostility scores with increasing age, indicating the need for users of the HDHQ to take age into consideration.…”

“…This has to be assumed because no study strictly comparable to the present one has been published. Clearly subjects who are tested after they have made a particular vocational choice may reflect sample bias, as in the studies of Mayo and Bell (1971) who studied student teachers, and Philip (1973) who tested hospital staff. Such bias may derive directly from vocational choice, or indirectly from constraints of age or social class implicit in such choice.…”

“…Ο Philip (1968), στηριζόμενος σ' αυτή την παρατήρηση, συνέστησε πως θα ήτανε ίσως πιο χρήσιμο να μετρηθεί η εξωστρεφόμενη επιθετικό τητα ανεξάρτητα της ενδοστρεφόμενης, χωρίς να ενσωματωθούν και οι δυό σε κοινό Score, με την μορφή της κατεύθυνσης της επιθετικότητας. Αυτή η πρόταση έγινε αποδεκτή και από άλλους συγγραφείς (Warder 1969,Mayo and Bell 1971, Blackburn, 1974.…”
