TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - Extraversion and attitude towards capital punishment JO - Personality and individual differences A1 - McKelvie, Stuart J. A1 - Daoussis, Leonard SP - 341 EP - 342 VL - 3 IS - 3 N2 - Male and female Canadian undergraduate students identified as extraverts or introverts on the basis of the Eysenck Personality Inventory were administered a questionnaire measuring attitude towards Capital Punishment. Both effects of sex and personality were significant, males and extraverts reporting stronger beliefs in Capital Punishment than females and introverts. These results were interpreted as providing support for Eysenck's proposal that the social attitude dimension of Toughmindedness reflects the personality trait of Extraversion.
