“…In the present investigation, we focus on the MCMI subscales for hypomania and histrionic, borderline, and narcissistic personality disorders. The reliability and validity of these scales appear to be adequate [e.g., Craig, 1997;Millon, 1994]. In the validation sample, KR-20s for these scales were .92, .87, and .84, respectively.…”

Hypomanic symptoms predict an increase in narcissistic and histrionic personality disorder features in suicidal young adults

Consistent with the "scar hypothesis", according to which mood depression might impact personality, we examined the effect of unipolar and hypomanic mood disturbances on cluster B (i.e., narcissistic, histrionic, and borderline) personality disorder features. Data from 113 suicidal young adults were utilized, and cross-lagged associations between unipolar and hypomanic mood disturbances and cluster B personality disorder features were examined using manifest-variable structural equation modeling (SEM). Hypomanic symptoms predicted an increase in narcissistic and histrionic personality disorder features over the Time 1-Time 2 period, as well as an increase in narcissistic personality disorder features over the Time 1-Time 3 period. Unipolar depressive symptoms and borderline features were reciprocally and longitudinally associated, albeit at different time periods. The sample distinct features restrict generalization of the findings. An exclusive use of self-report measures might have contributed to shared method variance. Results are consistent with the notion that hypomanic symptoms increase narcissistic personality disorder tendencies.

“…Above, I introduced Rorty's (neo-pragmatic) conceptual analysis of culture because I believe it offers useful guidelines for empirical research, quite apart from its other failings regarding different projects about ourselves (cf. Craig, 1997). This analysis of the term 'culture' seems particularly useful for the task at hand because it leads us to think about culture as an empirical question, that is, what indeed (if any) are the shared habits of action among the subjects within a particular subjectpopulation under study.…”

In this paper, I want to suggest a framework for the study of action that does notturn ‘culture’ and ‘psychological phenomena’ into two sides ofa dichotomy, but which is sensitive to the context of action. This is called for in view of what seem to be genuinely interesting developments in our thinking about ourselves: for example,theoretical and empirical attempts to re-unite brain, body, words and world in such a way thatit is no longer interesting to speculate merely about what is ‘in’, and opposed towhat is ‘outside’, the individual. Briefly, I propose a definition of culture thatseems to offer productive empirical possibilities. After this I suggest an empirical focus on task, participant(s) and situation, by way of explicating the resources and constraints operating during action-in-context.

“…In contrast to traditional psychological models, however, such dimensions need not be framed as discrete cognitive entities (see Wetherell and Potter, 1992). For present purposes, they may be seen as linguistic resources that are habitually deployed by the respondent in her discursive constructions (see Edley and Wetherell, 1999); but also (and crucially) as a means of reflexively locating and understanding herself in her social world (see Craig, 1997;Jones, 1997). Thus, 'identity' may be framed in terms of a narrative, which draws on culturally available linguistic resources to produce a coherent (albeit malleable) version of self (see Giddens, 1991).…”

What we need is a feminist realism that does not resort to positivism, that ties discourse to politics, and that makes politics more than discursive (Burman, 1992: 45).This statement highlights a central concern in contemporary feminist theorythat is, the political implications of the postmodernist movement, as applied to women's experiences and subjectivities (McLaughlin, 1997). Although many in the academy view postmodernism as a positive and liberating force (for example, Weedon, 1987;Roseneil, 1999), there is widespread concern that an overemphasis on plurality/relativism, and in particular the denial of a unified subject, will trivialize women's (collective) experiences of oppression, thereby constraining the possibility of meaningful political action (see, for example, Gavey, 1989
