Susceptibility to Methylpentynol: Eyelid Conditioning and P.G.R. Response

Abstract

Eysenck (1957a) has recently cogitated the relation between personality and drug response. He quotes McDougall (1929) as stating “I have observed in a number of cases that the marked extraverted personality is very susceptible to the influence of alcohol. The introvert, on the other hand, is much more resistant to alcohol“. This is a remark capable of confirmation, for Eysenck (1953) has described at least two personality dimensions, each a continuum and each orthogonal to the other. These two dimensions were termed “Neuroticism-Normality” and “Extraversion-Introversion”. A number of tests have been elaborated by Eysenck (1955, 1956, 1957b) for measuring such personality quantities.
