Abstract
The relation between Eysenck's Psychoticism factor and the traits of Cattell's Children's Personality Questionnaire were examined among 698 girls and 568 boys in Zimbabwe. The major concomitants of Psychoticism among boys and girls included positive correlations with dominance, enthusiasm and shrewdness scores and negative correlations with self-control, conscientiousness, emotional stability, warmth and abstract thinking scores. Factor analysis of the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and the Children's Personality Questionnaire scales yielded a clear Psychoticism factor, characterized by positive psychoticism, dominance and shrewdness loadings and negative conscientiousness, self-control and abstract thinking loadings among boys and by positive psychoticism, dominance, and enthusiasm loadings and negative tender-mindedness, conscientiousness, self-control and abstract thinking loadings among girls. These results strongly support the cross-cultural validity of Eysenck's Psychoticism factor among Zimbabwean children.
