Abstract
"The purpose "of the present investigation was to examine the relationship between performance on the Taylor A scale and measures of problem-solving rigidity, perceptual reactivity to threat-expectancy, and self-concept. One hundred and two male and female Ss were selected as high, middle, and low A scale scorers. All Ss completed the Bills-Vance-McLean Inventory (self concept) in group administration. Subsequently, 96 of these were given the Luchins water jar task of problem-solving rigidity, and a test of perceptual reactivity to threat expectancy, in individual administration." Among the results was the finding that "no relationships between A-scale response and performance on either the rigidity or perceptual tasks were observed." 31 references.
