title: The holistic theory of Andras Angyal: measuring the system principle.
abstract: Scales were devised to measure Andras Angyal's concepts of the trends toward autonomy and homonomy and the patterns of vicarious living and noncommitment. In a sample of 82 undergraduates (62 women, 20 men), scores for the trends were negatively associated with psychoticism scores (-.42 and -.39, respectively), while scores for the patterns were positively associated with neuroticism scores (.42 and .49, respectively).
