Correlation of the Self-Actualizing Value Subscale of the Personal Orientation Inventory with the Self-Acceptance, Socialization, and Self-Control Scales of the California Psychological Inventory

Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to determine the degree of correlation between the Self-Actualizing Value (SAV) Subscale of the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) and the (a) Self-Acceptance ( Sa ), (b) Socialization ( So) and (c) Self-Control ( Sc) scales of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI). The subjects were 17 males and 36 females currently enrolled at Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, Tennessee. The POI and the CPI were administered individually to each subject. The correlation coefficients between the Self-Actualizing Value ( SAV ) subscale of the POI and (a) Self-Acceptance ( Sa), (b) Socialization ( So ), and (c) Self-Control ( Sc) scales of the CPI were .43, .01, and -.18, respectively. The correlation between the SAV subscale scores and the Sa scale scores was significant at the .01 level. The results of this study suggested that the Sa scale of the CPI and the SAV subscale of the POI measure common characteristics in individuals, whereas the So and Sc scales of the CPI reflect qualities different from those in the SAV subscale of the POI.
