Personality Classification Agreement Identified by Configural Frequency Analysis.

Agreement tables are defined as squares rxr contingency tables with identical row and column categorial variables. It is proposed to test for categorial agreement cellwise by configural frequency analysis, rather than globally by Cohen's K coefficient. The configural agreement tests are illustrated by an example from experimental personality research: it is shown that Eysenck's and Cattell's personality classifications are in good cell wise categorial agreement

Modeling instrumental aggression in adults in a laboratory setting

Mummendey HD. Modeling instrumental aggression in adults in a laboratory setting. Psychological Research. 1978;40(2):189-193.Five experiments with 353 young adults performing a game on an aggression machine are reported, three of them testing hypotheses concerning the effects of a model's aggressiveness and social status on instrumental aggressive behavior, and two investigating aspects of reliability and validity. Model's aggressiveness increased the Ss' aggressive behavior in all experiments. The use of presumptive monetary losses as a means by which SS punish their opponents in aggression machine experiments is as effective as presumed electric shocks, and therefore seems preferable in further experimental studies of aggression
