The Relationship Among Self-Reported Aggression, Locus of Control, Expectancy for Success, and Dream Content

This study examined the relationship between elements of two dream content analysis systems, and between dream content variables and self-report measures. One hundred and five college students from two universities in Virginia completed the following self-report measures: Generalized Expectancy for Success Scale (Fibel & Hale, 1978), Internal Control Index (Duttweiler, 1984), Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus, 1979), Verbal Aggressiveness Scale (Infante & Wigley, 1986), and Brief Symptom Inventory (Derogatis & Spencer, 1982). They recorded any dreams they could remember over the subsequent three weeks in a dream journal. Only the data of participants who reported five or more dreams were included (n = 83). Dream content was analyzed using Hall and Van de Castle\u27s (1966) and Gaillard and Phelippeau\u27s (1977) dream content analysis systems. Hall and Van de Castle\u27s Successful Dream Outcome was significantly correlated with Gaillard and Phelippeau\u27s Active Control. Hall and Van de Castle\u27s Verbal Aggressive Interactions was significantly correlated with Gaillard and Phelippeau\u27s Verbal Aggressiveness and Physical Aggressiveness. Hall and Van de Castle\u27s Physical Aggressive Interactions was significantly correlated with Gaillard and Phelippeau\u27s Physical Aggressiveness. The Verbal Aggressiveness Scale was significantly correlated with Gaillard and Phelippeau\u27s Physical Aggressiveness. Contrary to expectation, other dream content was unrelated to personality measures. Several unanticipated correlations were obtained. There appears to be considerable overlap between some aspects of Hall and Van de Castle\u27s and Gaillard and Phelippeau\u27s systems. The results fail to identify a direct relationship between specific dream content categories and specific personality variables. This relationship may not exist, or may be less direct, involving combinations of dream content variables
