“…The importance and usefulness of dominance/submissiveness was evident in the characterization of major personality dimensions (Mehrabian, 1980(Mehrabian, , 1987Mehrabian and O'Reilly, 1980;Mehrabian and Bernarth, 1991). For example, only unpleasant/submissive attributes defined Depression.…”

“…The PAD Temperament Model (Mehrabian, 1980(Mehrabian, , 1987 provided a general description of personality by combinations of characteristics as follows (Mehrabian, 1980(Mehrabian, , 1987Mehrabian and O'Reilly, 1980;Mehrabian and Bernarth, 1991). Hence, pleasant/arousable/dominant characteristics defined affiliation, extroversion, nurturance, and arousal seeking; pleasant/arousable/submissive qualities defined dependency; unpleasant/arousable/dominant characteristics defined hostility and aggressiveness; and only unpleasant/ submissive attributes defined depression.…”

“…The three dimensions of temperament were trait pleasure/displeasure, trait arousal/ nonarousal, and trait dominance/ submissiveness. The trait pleasure scale assessed individual differences in characteristic levels of pleasant versus unpleasant affect and was found to differentiate between psychological characteristics of adjustment versus maladjustment (Mehrabian & O'Reilly, 1980). The trait arousal scale assessed general or characteristic arousal (i.e., mental alertness and physical activity levels) over the daily cycle and across varied situations.…”

The subjects in Study 1 (the target group) provided their names and data on their own temperaments. The subjects in Study 2 rated the target group's names on uniqueness and desirability. The subjects in Study 3 rated the temperament qualities connoted by the names given by the target group. The name uniqueness and desirability scales had high reliabilities and correlated ‐0.44, showing that more unique names were less desirable. The qualities of pleasantness and dominance, which were connoted by a person's name, were judged very reliably. Names that connoted psychological health versus maladjustment (pleasant/ unpleasant temperament) were indeed associated with pleasant/unpleasant temperament attributes. The pleasantness and dominance connoted by names enhanced the desirability of those names, whereas greater unpleasantness and submissiveness were connoted by more unique names.

“…Unpleasant, arousable, and submissive characteristics define trait anxiety or neuroticism, whereas unpleasant, arousable, and dominant characteristics define aggressiveness or hostility [26][27][28]. Also, depression has been found to consist of unpleasant and submissive characteristics [27,29]. Factor analysis of the Big-Five scales [30], two basic factors of Wiggins' [31] Circumplex Model, and the three PAD temperament scales has yielded three underlying factors that essentially replicated the PAD temperament dimensions [32].…”

The present study explored emotional thinking in the adult using four related scales. A new Mysticism Scale assessed tendencies to use magical, esoteric, incomprehensible, and unfounded concepts and hypotheses. Two related scales (Paranormal Belief, Magical Ideation) correlated .88 and .74, respectively, with the Mysticism Scale. The Globality-Differentiation Scale assessed emotional, subjective, and centered thinking and related to unpleasant, arousable, and submissive characteristics, showing it to be the cognitive counterpart of Trait Anxiety or Neuroticism. The Globalityl maladjustment relationship was confirmed by positive relationships of the Globality Scale with measures of Trait Anxiety, Depression, Panic, Somatization, and Drug Use. In comparison, the Mysticism Scale related only to Trait Arousability (a measure of positive and/or negative emotional sensitivity) and, along with the Paranormal Belief and Magical Ideation scales, was generally unrelated to measures of psychopathology.Werner defined development as involving progressive differentiation and hierarchic integration of parts and used this definition to analyze cognitive systems (or world views) of 1) individuals or 2) cultures [l}. For individuals, Werner's definition of development implied less self-other differentiation and greater fusion of cognition, affect, and behavior at earlier stages of development. Shared 325
