Conservatism and Personality Factors in a Sample of Adolescents
Verma, Gajendra K.
Contemporary Educational Psychology, 3, 1, 51-6, Jan 78
Relationships between Cattell High School Personality Questionaire Factors and the adolescent version of the Wilson-Patterson Conservatism Scale were examined in a sample of 492 teenagers. In both sexes, conservatism was significantly related to a number of personality traits, which were significantly similiar to those defined by extroversion. Results suggest the existence of a "conservative personality." (Author/CP)
