Abstract

Released back in 1980, the slasher film I Terror Train i [1] has quite a bit in common with Soufan's narrative of those derailing the war on terror after 11 September 2001. "No" he said again "but I know human nature."... I couldn't believe that someone with no interrogation or terrorism experience was sent by the CIA on this mission [running "our country's high-level detainee interrogation program"]." Meanwhile Abu Zubaydah led him on with tidbits ... [and] provided him information that was vague [,] superficial, and nonactionable"[11] Here's Soufan from I The Black Banners i on someone called Boris, a CIA contractor and psychologist whom, I am assuming, is largely based on Mitchell.

5. COMMENT ON "THE AUTHORITARIAN AS MEASURED BY A PERSONALITY SCALE: SOLID CITIZEN OR MISFIT?".

Author

Bloom, Richard W.

Subjects
AUTHORITARIANISM, PERSONALITY, CLINICAL psychology, MOTIVATION (Psychology), SOCIAL desirability
Abstract

The article comments on the article "The Authoritarian as Measured by a Personality Scale: Solid Citizen or Misfit?," by J.J. Ray. The comment is directed to two statements in the article. One statement questions the adequacy of personality scales presented in a forced-choice format. The other purportedly nails the coffin shut on the classical concept a of authoritarianism. There are adequate data to support the adequacy of forced-choice formats in dealing with social desirability. There is also an alternative theoretical/empirical rationale that at least temporarily prevents the passing away of authoritarianism from the personality arena.

6. Comment on 'Measuring Machiavellianism With Mach V: A Psychometric Investigation'

Author

Bloom, Richard W.

Subjects
PSYCHOMETRICS, MACHIAVELLIANISM (Psychology)
Abstract

A recent article (Shea & Beatty, 1983) attacks the reliability, triadic-choice format, and validity of the Mach V. The issues of meaningful versus statistical criteria, differing perspectives of bias, and reliability-validity independence are raised in challenge. Although the Mach V may have some construct validity problems, Shea and Beatty's call for a new measure of Machiavellionism is not supported by their article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
