Q

describe the test-retest reliability of IQ tests

Study These Flashcards
A

typically high but not perfect

23
Q

describe the problem with discriminant validity of IQ tests

Study These Flashcards
A

learned experiences. test taking skills and practice. motivation/incentive

24
Q

describe the validity of the CAS cognitive test

Study These Flashcards
A

high reliability

25
how much variance in intelligence does genetics explain?
40-80%. varies between individuals and increases with age (in childhood you are more affected by your environment).
26
how much variance in childhood IQ does shared environment explain?
20-40% - drops to 0% by adulthood.
27
what are some non-shared environmental factors that can be influential on intelligence?
prenatal factors eg early nutrition (Oddy et al., 2004); birth order (first borns may get more time and resources); school education increases IQ test scores (Ceci, 1991)
28
describe the 'Mozart Effect'
Rauscher, Shaw & Ky (1993): 10 min of Mozart sonata (vs silence or the music) left to • 8-9 points higher on spatial-temporal parts of IQ tests
29
describe the contradictory nature of the 'Mozart Effect'
subsequent studies have contradictory results. Pietsching et al. (2010) met-analysis. effects signifiant but small and temporary. May reflect positive mood and levels of cortical arousal. Larger effects in studies conducted by original researchers. Not specific to Mozart: can happen with any music eg Blur
30
summarise Gardner's (1993) theory of multiple intelligence
Theoretically independent. Emotional intelligence: Intrapersonal (self smart) and Interpersonal (people smart) Cognitive: Linguistic (word smart) and Logical-Mathematical (logic smart) Sensori-motor: Musical (music smart) and Bodily-Kinaesthetic (body smart). Naturalistic (nature smart); Spatial (picture smart)
31
how well validated is Teele's Multiple Intelligences?
not well validated
32
what did Visser, Ashton & Vernon (2006) find out about Gardner's (1993) theory of multiple intelligences?
Assessed each intelligence with 2 tests. Factor analysis showed 1 ‘g’ factor. All tests except for bodily-kinesthetic, musical, and one intrapersonal (least cognitive) loaded onto ‘g’. Supported hierarchical structure (not independence)
33
define emotional intelligence
The ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions in the self and others. Both intrapersonal and interpersonal
34
describe the ability model of emotional intelligence
the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and us this information to guide one’s thinking and actions. 4 branches. perceiving, facilitate, understanding, and managing emotions
35
describe facilitate thinking (ability model of emotional intelligence)
ability to use your emotions to inform problem solving, creativity and decision making
36
describe understanding (ability model of emotional intelligence)
relations between emotions, causes, time course etc.
37
describe managing emotions (ability model of emotional intelligence)
relations between emotions, causes, time course etc.
38
describe the Mayer-Salovery-Caruso E.I. Test (MSCEIT)
Wanted it to be like an IQ test and objective Eg. Perceiving emotions task. Given a set of faces, and asked how much a series of emotions is present in that face. same thing for abstract images: how much emotions are conveyed in this image. Argued there was a correct answer that responses could be compared to Eg. Facilitate thinking. MCQ questions: given a situation Injustice + ____ = anger? a) frustration, b) guilt, c) melancholy, d) fatigue
39
describe MSCEIT Reliability and validity
High internal consistency and test re-test validity. Hierarchical factor structure. What is correct scoring Results differ. Consensus: how much you agree with others in sample. Sample specific patterns: cannot compare. Expert: how much you agree with experts. Relatively high agreement between experts, but why would they be more emotionally intelligent?
40
what was Goleman's 1998/2001 theory?
emotional competence inventory. separate self vs others’ emotions. widely used in organisations BUT not well-validated. Developed so they can be bought for a lot of money
41
what was Bar-On's 1997 theory?
emotional quotient inventory. self-report. scored to give normed "EQ" (like IQ). separate self vs others’ emotions. widely used in organisations BUT not well-validated. Developed so they can be bought for a lot of money
42
describe the trait model of emotional intelligence (Petrides & Furnham, 2003)
Emotion-related self-perceptions and dispositions (also known as emotional self-efficacy). Trait EI Questionnaire (TEIQue) Reliable; valid factor structure
43
what are the different factors in the trait model of emotional intelligence? (Petrides & Furnham, 2003)
wellbeing, sociability, emotionality, self-control, self-motivation, adaptability
44
describe what it means for emotional intelligence to be an ability
Only ability to perceive, understand, and manage own/others’ emotions. Part of general intelligence (‘g’). Assessed using objectively scored test/peer-report
45
describe what it means for emotional intelligence to be trait
Self-perceptions of ability PLUS dispositional tendencies to do with emotions. Emphasise predicting success. Assessed using subjective self-report
46
according to the ability model of EI, where does it come from?
Parents’ emotional talk (Dunn et al., 1991). Women score higher than men. No official data on heritability
47
according to the trait model of EI, where does it come from?
Behavioural genetic study (TEIQue) (Vernon et al., 2008). Genetic influence ~ 30-50%. Unique but not shared environment. Similar % to personality traits
48
does IQ correlate with ability EI?
yes (mostly with verbal IQ tests - vocal?)
49
does big 5 correlate with ability EI?
weak (+) its agreeableness, openness (+ sometimes neuroticism, conscientiousness)
50
does Dark Triad correlate with ability EI?
(-) with psychopathy, narcissism in men, machiavellianism ns
51
does IQ correlate with trait EI?
no
52
does big 5 correlate with trait EI?
separate factor but overlap wit neuroticism (-). correlates with extraversion and conscientiousness (+)
53
does Dark triad correlate with trait EI?
(-) with psychopathy; machiavellianism in men; narcissism ns (+ with sociability/wellbeing)
