Q

The lexical hypothesis
Gordon Allport and Henry Odbert

A

Idea that the most important differences between people will be encoded in the language that we use to describe people. Therefore, if we want to know which personality traits are most important, we can look to the language that people use to describe themselves and others.

Q

Personality and Assessment (1968)
Walter Mischel

Evolved into ‘Person-Situation debate’

A

People behave differently based on the role their playing in certain contexts
*basically code switching

The person-situation debate is a historical debate about the relative power of personality traits as compared to situational influences on behavior. The situationist critique, which started the person-situation debate, suggested that people overestimate the extent to which personality traits are consistent across situations.

SO… Mischel thought that psychologists should focus on people’s distinctive reactions to specific situations.

Q

What is the best way to describe the relationship between the personality traits in the Five-Factor Model?

a. The traits are relatively independent. A high score on one trait tells little about a score on another trait.

b. Two of the traits – Extraversion and Conscientiousness – are positively correlated..

c. Three traits– Neuroticism, Agreeableness, and Openness – are positively correlated..

d. The traits are all negatively correlated. A high score on one of the traits tends to predict a low score on another.

Q

Personality is the field within psychology that studies the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, goals, and interests of _______ individuals.

A

Normal

64
Q

Objective tests

A

represent the most familiar and widely used approach to assessing personality. Objective tests involve administering a standard set of items, each of which is answered using a limited set of response options (e.g., true or false; strongly disagree, slightly disagree, slightly agree, strongly agree). Responses to these items then are scored in a standardized, predetermined way.

For example, self-ratings on items assessing talkativeness, assertiveness, sociability, adventurousness, and energy can be summed up to create an overall score on the personality trait of extraversion.

65
Q

TWO types of Objective personality tests

A
  1. Self-Report Measures
  2. Informant Ratings
66
Q

Self Report Measures

A

*Asks people to describe themselves
- most widely used in modern personality research
- tend to have high validity

Two Key advantages:

  1. Self-raters have access to an unparalleled wealth of information: After all, who knows more about you than you yourself? In particular, self-raters have direct access to their own thoughts, feelings, and motives, which may not be readily available to others
  2. Asking people to describe themselves is the simplest, easiest, and most cost-effective approach to assessing personality. Countless studies, for instance, have involved administering self-report measures to college students, who are provided some relatively simple incentive (e.g., extra course credit) to participate.

Three Key Disadvantages:

  1. Self-raters may be motivated to present themselves in an overly favourable, socially desirable way (especially in high-stakes testing)
  2. Self-enhancement bias in other words, people are motivated to ignore (or at least downplay) some of their less desirable characteristics and to focus instead on their more positive attributes.
  3. Self-ratings are subject to the reference group effect; basing our self-perceptions, in part, on how we compare to others in our sociocultural reference group. For instance, if you tend to work harder than most of your friends, you will see yourself as someone who is relatively conscientious, even if you are not particularly conscientious in any absolute sense.
67
Q

validity

A

Evidence related to the interpretation and use of test scores. A particularly important type of evidence is criterion validity, which involves the ability of a test to predict theoretically relevant outcomes. For example, a presumed measure of conscientiousness should be related to academic achievement (such as overall grade point average).

68
Q

High stakes testing

A

Settings in which test scores are used to make important decisions about individuals. For example, test scores may be used to determine which individuals are admitted into a college or graduate school, or who should be hired for a job. Tests also are used in forensic settings to help determine whether a person is competent to stand trial or fits the legal definition of sanity.

69
Q

Self-enhancement bias

A

The tendency for people to see and/or present themselves in an overly favorable way. This tendency can take two basic forms: defensiveness (when individuals actually believe they are better than they really are) and impression management (when people intentionally distort their responses to try to convince others that they are better than they really are). Informants also can show enhancement biases. The general form of this bias has been called the letter-of-recommendation effect, which is the tendency of informants who like the person they are rating (e.g., friends, relatives, romantic partners) to describe them in an overly favorable way. In the case of newlyweds, this tendency has been termed the honeymoon effect.

70
Q

Reference group effect

A

The tendency of people to base their self-concept on comparisons with others. For example, if your friends tend to be very smart and successful, you may come to see yourself as less intelligent and successful than you actually are. Informants also are prone to these types of effects. For instance, the sibling contrast effect refers to the tendency of parents to exaggerate the true extent of differences between their children.

71
Q

Informant Ratings

A

*Ask someone who knows a person well to describe his or her personality characteristics.
- In the case of children or adolescents, the informant is most likely to be a parent or teacher. In studies of older participants, informants may be friends, roommates, dating partners, spouses, children, or bosses
*valuable when self-ratings are impossible to collect (e.g., when studying young children or cognitively impaired adults) or when their validity is suspect (e.g., as noted earlier, people may not be entirely honest in high-stakes testing situations). They also may be combined with self-ratings of the same characteristics to produce more reliable and valid measures of these attributes

Advantages:
- A well-acquainted informant presumably has had the opportunity to observe large samples of behavior in the person he or she is rating.
- Judgments presumably are not subject to the types of defensiveness that potentially can distort self-ratings
- Level of validity in relation to important life outcomes that is comparable to that discussed earlier for self-ratings. Indeed, they outperform self-ratings in certain circumstances, particularly when the assessed traits are highly evaluative in nature

Problems and limitations:
- level of relevant information that is available to the rater
- informants lack full access to the thoughts, feelings, and motives of the person they are rating
- reference group effect still in play

72
Q

sibling-contrast effect

A

The tendency of parents to use their perceptions of all of their children as a frame of reference for rating the characteristics of each of them. For example, suppose that a mother has three children; two of these children are very sociable and outgoing, whereas the third is relatively average in sociability. Because of operation of this effect, the mother will rate this third child as less sociable and outgoing than he/she actually is. More generally, this effect causes parents to exaggerate the true extent of differences between their children. This effect represents a specific manifestation of the more general reference group effect when applied to ratings made by parents.

73
Q

letter of recommendation effect

A

The general tendency for informants in personality studies to rate others in an unrealistically positive manner. This tendency is due a pervasive bias in personality assessment: In the large majority of published studies, informants are individuals who like the person they are rating (e.g., they often are friends or family members) and, therefore, are motivated to depict them in a socially desirable way. The term reflects a similar tendency for academic letters of recommendation to be overly positive and to present the referent in an unrealistically desirable manner.

74
Q

honeymoon effect

A

The tendency for newly married individuals to rate their spouses in an unrealistically positive manner. This represents a specific manifestation of the letter of recommendation effect when applied to ratings made by current romantic partners. Moreover, it illustrates the very important role played by relationship satisfaction in ratings made by romantic partners: As marital satisfaction declines (i.e., when the “honeymoon is over”), this effect disappears.

75
Q

Other Ways of Classifying Objective Tests
- Comprehensiveness

A

The extent to which an instrument seeks to assess personality in a reasonably comprehensive manner

One Extreme:
Measures are designed to assess a single core attribute
- Toronto Alexithymia Scale
- Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
- Multidimensional Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire

Another Extreme:
A number of omnibus inventories contain a large number of specific scales and purport to measure personality in a reasonably comprehensive manner
- California Psychological Inventory
- Revised HEXACO Personality Inventory
- NEO Personality Inventory-3
- Personality Research Form
- Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire

76
Q

Other Ways of Classifying Objective Tests
- Breadth of the target characteristics

A

Personality characteristics can be classified at different levels of breadth or generality.

  • Many models emphasize broad, “big” traits that have lots of facets that would not necessarily score similarly
  • Some popular personality instruments are designed to assess only the broad, general traits.

Ex. Big Five only on general traits

Ex. Other inventories only on a large number of more specific characteristics

Ex. HEXACO-PI-R and the NEO-PI-3 on both general and specific trait characteristics

77
Q

ProjectiveTests
Projective Hypothesis

TWO MAIN EXAMPLES:
- Rorschach Inkblot Test
- Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

A
  • belief that important thoughts, feelings, and motives operate outside of conscious awareness.

Projective Hypothesis: The theory that when people are confronted with ambiguous stimuli (that is, stimuli that can be interpreted in more than one way), their responses will be influenced by their unconscious thoughts, needs, wishes, and impulses. This, in turn, is based on the Freudian notion of projection, which is the idea that people attribute their own undesirable/unacceptable characteristics to other people or objects.

Ex. ambiguous stimuli showed
- responses will be influenced by nonconscious needs, feelings, and experiences

Rorschach Inkblot Test
- asks respondents to interpret symmetrical blots of ink
Critique: fails to provide important incremental information beyond other, more easily acquired information, such as that obtained from standard self-report measures

Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)
- asks respondents to generate stories about a series of pictures.
Support: reviews have concluded that TAT-based measures of the need for achievement
(a) show significant validity to predict important criteria
&
(b) provide important information beyond that obtained from objective measures of this motive
*implicit motives: These are goals that are important to a person, but that he/she cannot consciously express. Because the individual cannot verbalize these goals directly, they cannot be easily assessed via self-report. However, they can be measured using projective devices such as the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

78
Q

Implicit Tests

A

based on the assumption that people form automatic or implicit associations between certain concepts based on their previous experience and behaviour.

*If two concepts (e.g., me and assertive) are strongly associated with each other, then they should be sorted together more quickly and easily than two concepts (e.g., me and shy) that are less strongly associated.

79
Q

Behaviour & Performance Measures

A

Infer important personality characteristics from direct samples of behaviour.
* Observing real world behavior is one way to assess personality. Tendencies such as messiness and neatness are clues to personality.

Ex. Using EAR, the participant and observer both rate the participant on extraversion based on how much they talked over two days

Behavioural measures Advantages:
- directly sampled, not subject to the types of response biases that can distort scores on objective tests.
- allows people to be studied in their daily lives and in their natural environments, thereby avoiding the artificiality of other methods
- only approach that actually assesses what people do, as opposed to what they think or feel

Behavioural measures Disadvantages:
- labor intensive compared to using objective tests, particularly self-report
- need to be scored in a reliable and valid way
- even the most ambitious study only obtains relatively small samples of behavior that may provide a somewhat distorted view of a person’s true characteristics.

80
Q

______validity refers to the ability of a given test to predict real world outcomes. For example, a measure of openness to new experiences should be related to one’s desire to engage in unconventional activities.
