Background:

  • The Journal of Personality Assessment (JPA) and its predecessor published 1,170 studies between 1968 and 1982.
  • Understanding trends in personality assessment research is crucial for informing editorial policies and reader engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in author affiliations, personality measures, study methodologies, and subject characteristics in JPA articles over a 15-year period.
  • To identify shifts in the use of objective versus projective tests and the populations studied.
  • To discuss implications for the future direction of personality assessment research.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of all studies published in the Journal of Personality Assessment and its predecessor from 1968 to 1982.

  • Categorization of studies based on author affiliation, personality measures employed, study design, and subject demographics.
  • Quantitative analysis to identify trends and shifts over the 15-year period.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant trends or shifts were observed in author affiliations, study methodologies, or subject characteristics over the 15-year period.
    • The Rorschach and MMPI remained consistently popular subjects for research.
    • Academic settings were the primary affiliation for authors, and college students were the most frequent research subjects.
    • Objective tests showed an increase in frequency, while projective tests (excluding the Rorschach) declined.
    • The majority of research subjects were drawn from non-pathological populations.

    Conclusions:

    • Personality assessment research in JPA exhibited remarkable stability between 1968 and 1982.
    • A gradual shift towards objective measures and non-pathological populations was noted.
    • Findings suggest a need for editorial policies to adapt to evolving research landscapes and reader interests.
