	Hans Eysenck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eysenck was professor of psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry (IoP) from 1955 to 1983.
		Eysenck's model of personality (P-E-N) Eysenck was one of the first psychologists to study personality with the method of factor analysis, a statistical technique introduced by Charles Spearman.
		Eysenck made early contributions to fields such as personality by express and explicit commitment to a very rigorous adherence to scientific methodology, as Eysenck believed that scientific methodology was required for progress in personality psychology.

	Great Ideas in Personality--PEN Model
		Eysenck believes that the five-factor model is a hodge-podge of factors and superfactors.
		Eysenck thinks of this as simply a bad way of measuring intelligence, which is a cognitive ability that would be better reflected in I.Q. tests than in self-reports on adjective questionnaires.
		This paper describes Eysenck's contribution to the notion that the personality trait of psychoticism is related to creativity, along with criticisms of this notion.

	HighBeam Encyclopedia - Eysenck, Hans Jurgen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		EYSENCK, HANS JURGEN [Eysenck, Hans Jurgen], 1916-97, British psychologist.
		Best known for his theory of human personality, Eysenck suggested that personality is biologically determined and is arranged in a hierarchy consisting of types, traits, habitual responses, and specific responses.
		A staunch critic of psychoanalysis, Eysenck maintained that the recovery rates of the emotionally disturbed were approximately equal for treated and untreated individuals, though the accuracy of his studies on the subject have been questioned in recent years.

	Human Intelligence: H. J. Eysenck
		Hans Eysenck was one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th Century.
		As with Eysenck's efforts to address the perception of psychology as a "soft science" in these other areas, he took a "hard science" approach to the study of intelligence, viewing it as a theoretical construct similar to the basic concepts of physics.
		Eysenck, H. J., with Fulker, D. The structure and measurement of intelligence.

	Political spectrum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eysenck's model was criticized because virtually no values were found to load only on the tough/tender dimension, and also because his interpretation of tough-mindedness as a manifestation of "authoritarian" versus tender-minded "democratic" values was incompatible with opposing theorists' conception of authoritarianism as being related to conservatism.
		Furthermore, the theory which Eysenck developed to explain individual variation in the observed dimensions, relating tough-mindedness to Extroversion and Psychoticism, did not stand up well to research.
		The political compass largely follows the Eysenck method with the two-axes representing economic issues as right-vs-left and issues of freedom as authoritarian-vs-liberal.

	Hans Eysenck
		Eysenck was convinced that, since everyone in his data-pool fit somewhere on this dimension of normality-to-neuroticism, this was a true temperament, i.e.
		Eysenck hypothesized that extraversion-introversion is a matter of the balance of “inhibition” and “excitation” in the brain itself.
		Eysenck came to recognize that, although he was using large populations for his research, there were some populations he was not tapping.

		Eysenck's analysis of the item-sheet data thus demonstrated that a general factor or dimension of neuroticism-normality could be used to categorize psychologically disabled patients, and that the group high in neuroticism could be further subdivided into anxiety neurotics and hysterical neurotics.
		Eysenck's "dysthymia" is not identical to the current use of this term in the DSM and in the clinical nosology, where it refers to reactive or "neurotic" depression.
		Eysenck's first step in untangling the Pavlovian scheme was an assumption that Pavlov had been essentially correct in his biological strategy: Observable differences in the four personalities have their source in less observable inhibition-excitation processes of the nervous system.

	Hans J. Eysenck
		Since the 1950s, Dr. Eysenck had vocally propounded the view that the experimental methods used in the physical sciences, particularly statistical tests, should be applied in psychology, psychotherapy and especially psychoanalysis.
		Eysenck fell in love with the subject and was fortunate in being able to study under Sir Cyril Burt, the noted psychologist who was an early advocate of statistical studies, and the legendary statistician Karl Pearson.
		Eysenck graduated in 1938 and received his doctorate, also from the University of London, in 1940.

	AUTHORITARIANISM AND EYSENCK'S P SCALE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Eysenck's claims in this respect were rather acrimoniously criticized by Christie (1) and Rokeach and Hanley (8) on the general ground that Eysenck had no right in the circumstances to refer to T as a "dimension" of attitudes.
		Eysenck and Wilson (5) now claim that Eysenck's new personality variable P (Psychoticism) is the main influence on T. This seems a rather confused claim for several reasons.
		The P scale from the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (4) was included in a questionnaire together with two different measures of authoritarianism: a short form of the Ray (6) balanced F scale and a short form of the Ray (7) scale of authoritarian personality in behavior inventory format.

	EYSENCK ON SOCIAL ATTITUDES: AN HISTORICAL CRITIQUE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Eysenck (in Eysenck and Wilson, 1978) records that one of the authors of the 'California' study (Else Frenkel-Brunswik) freely acknowledged to him, the role of Jaensch's theory in forming her own thinking even though Jaensch was not listed in the references of The Authoritarian Personality.
		Eysenck is one of the world's most cited authors by his fellow psychologists (Gibson, 1981), and it is my impression that it is the loose and subjective writings in psychology that attract attention.
		Eysenck had what I would claim was the correct insight -- that the second variable in the psychology of politics is a personality rather than an attitude variable -- but was limited by his strait-jacketed notions of what constitute the variables of personality in pursuing the insight fully.

	Hans J. Eysenck's contributions to Astrological Research
		Eysenck emphasised that he came to his positive conclusions (on the Gauquelin findings, on ESP, on psychokinesis) only after carefully assessing the evidence and failing to find sources of error.
		In giving Gauquelin's research as an example, Eysenck commented that as far as objectivity of observation, statistical significance of differences, verification of the hypothesis, and replicability are concerned, there are few sets of data in psychology which could compete with these observations and that there is something here that requires explanation.
		In general Eysenck's contributions to astrological research were his insistence that there was an effect to be explained, his insistence that matters be resolved by appropriate experiments, and his refusal to be satisfied with dismissive explanations.

	The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ)
		Eysenck's theory is based primarily on physiology and genetics.
		The physiological basis suggested by Eysenck for psychoticism is testosterone, with higher levels of psychoticism associated with higher levels of testosterone.
		Eysenck's theory remains influential; before his death in 1997, he was the most cited living psychologist, and he is the third most cited psychologist of all time, after Freud and Piaget.

	Theories of Personality \| Chapter Outline
		Eysenck was trained in the psychometrically oriented psychology department of the University of London, from which he received a bachelor's degree in 1938 and a Ph.D. in 1940.
		Eysenck believed that P, E, and N all have a powerful biological component, and he cited as evidence the existence of these three types in a wide variety of nations and languages.
		Cattell and Eysenck's theories rate high on parsimony, on their ability to generate research, and on their usefulness in organizing data; they are about average on falsifiability, usefulness to the practitioner, and internal consistency.

	AUTHORITARIANISM/LIBERTARIANISM AS THE SECOND DIMENSION OF SOCIAL ATTITUDES
		Elegant though Eysenck's theory is as an account of similarities between political parties, it proved inadequate when applied to describing the attitudes of individuals.
		Eysenck could find no attitudes which were peculiarly tough- or tender-minded There were only a variety of Leftist and Rightist attitude which he chose to call tough- or tender-minded.
		Eysenck and Wilson (8) have recently revised the earlier theory to say that the personality variable involved is "psychoticism" as measured by Eysenck's new "P" scale.

	Hans Eysenck (1916-1997)
		Eysenck was no therapist himself -- though his quiet and kindly manner and attentive ear could easily have qualified him as a Rogerian counsellor; but he had the genius of a true intellectual who strove to do work that was of wide relevance and humane import.
		Eysenck lectured extensively on hypnosis during the war years and Gibson records he was then "the foremost authority on hypnosis in Britain.
		Eysenck was born in Germany in 1916 into a family of celebrities.

	ISAR - Psychology, Racism & Fascism: An On-line Edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the interview Eysenck explains in simple language why he believes that "racial IQ differences" are not due to environmental factors.
		Hans Eysenck, a lecturer in Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry in Denmark Hill, South London, was recently back in the news when he leaped to the defense of the late Sir Cyril Burt, a pioneer in the study of intelligence.
		The conclusion of Verrall and Reed-Herbert illustrates the harmony which the National Front believes to exist between its racialism and the science of Eysenck and Jensen: "It is regrettable that, in choosing to enter the political arena, Professor Eysenck found himself unable to correlate his political conclusions with the logic of his scientific findings".

		Eysenck's interest in the underlying structure of personality traits is similar to which other theorists that we have studied?
		Eysenck argued that people with different supertraits differ in their physiological make-up.
		Eysenck’s physiological theories were not always supported by research.

	ISAR - Psychology, Racism & Fascism: An On-line Edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Critics of Eysenck and Jensen have claimed that it is not so easy to separate their scientific research from political considerations.
		For example, Eysenck may claim that his critics are politically motivated and that he is the dispassionate seeker of truth.
		Whatever the truth about Eysenck's claim that his opponents are 'politically motivated', it is hard to sustain the image that Eysenck's science is far removed from the political arena, when he writes in a magazine like The Mankind Quarterly: an explicitly racialist publication, whose tendencies take it towards the race-science of the Northern League.

	Houghton Mifflin Textbook - To Learn More
		Eysenck theorized that at the broadest level of the hierarchy, an individual's personality can be described in terms of "types." Eysenck primarily focused on three type variables: extraversion/introversion, neuroticism/stability, and psychoticism.
		The next level, according to Eysenck, was the trait level, followed by the habitual response and specific response levels of the hierarchy.
		Eysenck explained that a cluster of specific responses constitute a habitual response; a cluster of habitual responses constitute a trait; and a cluster of traits constitute a type.

	SparkNotes: Personality Traits: Cattell, Eysenck, and the Big Five
		In this section, we discuss two of the founding figures in trait theory, Raymond Cattell and Hans Eysenck, both of whom conducted their seminal research in the 1940's and 1950's.
		Although they differed in their conclusions, they approached the problem of how to describe personality in a very similar way: by asking people to indicate the extent to which they and others could be described with each of a large number of words.
		Since Cattell and Eysenck, many researchers have conducted many studies to determine whether there are sixteen traits, as Cattell argued, or two, as Eysenck argued, or whether the truth is somewhere in between.

	Eysenck, Hans – British psychologist, and professor at London University 1955 – 1983 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Eysenck is perhaps the best-known of all British psychologists, partially because of his controversial theories on such topics as the genetic determination of personality traits, and his theories of varying intelligence across races.
		Eysenck developed a well-known typology of human personality, based essentially upon two dimensions: introversion – extraversion and neuroticism – psychoticism.
		The Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI), designed around this theory, is still much in use in employment selection procedures, etc. Hans Eysenck died in 1997.

		Eysenck has done an outstanding job in this book in showing not only how unscientific and wrong it is, but goes further to describe the great harm that his ideas have inflicted on Western society.
		Eysenck's critique is truly devastating for a modern reader to encounter, and one can only wonder why Freud's ideas have had such an impact on the popular imagination.
		Eysenck's lucidly expressed explanation is that the answer lies in the ancient human desire to get something for nothing.

		Eysenck also spoke the unspeakable, iconoclastically attacking the cherished attribution of millions of deaths to smoking.
		Eysenck saw the cause-and-effect relation between cancer and smoking as oversimplification.
