Empirical validity

The Peabody correlating with vocab tests is a representation of what?

Convergent validity

What does the Neale measure and in what age group?

Oral reading comprehension from age 6 to 12 years

What three things does the Neale give measures on?

Reading accuracy Reading rate Comprehension

True or False. 1. The 16PF is an example of a comprehensive personality measure designed for normal populations. 2. The 16PF was created using the lexical approach.

1. True | 2. True

How was the 16PF developed?

Identified 18000 words in the dictionary for personality traits. Factor analysis to 36, but settled on 16.

What are other names for the NEO-PI-3?

Five Factor Model or Big Five

What are the 5 factors in the NEO-PI-3?

Openness Conscientiousness Extroversion Agreeableness Neuroticism

What does the NEO correlate with?

Personality factors Other personality tests Social outcomes Behaviour

What does Conscientiousness correlate with?

GPA of uni students beyond exam marks

How many items in the NEO-PI-3 and how long does it take?

240 items 30-40 minutes

According to Eysenck's personality theory what is the underlying basis for individual differences in neuroticism?

Differences in activation threshold in the limbic system.

The theoretical basis of Eysenck's personality theory is at the what level?

Biological

What did Eysenck argue to be the critical component underlying individual differences in extraversion/introversion?

Differences in cortical arousal

What is the EPI based on?

Factory analysis and theoretical approach

EPI is a biological approach based on 3 factors?

1. Psychoticism 2. Anti social 3. Tendencies

What is the description of someone that scores high on the MMPI scale known as Psycasthenia?

Compulsive obsessive disorder

What is a major criticism of the MMPI-2?

The MMPI-2 scales are related to demographic variables as well as personality dimensions

The MMPI-2 is a XXXX personality test designed to diagnose XXXX groups?

Control Abnormal

Who mainly used the MMPI-2?

Neuropsychologists

What 3 things was the MMPI-2 used for?

1. Differentiating between organic and psychiatric disorders 2. identifying personality changes after a head injury 3. Assess validity of patients self report (lie scales)

What was used to develop the MMPI-2?

Criterion keys/empirical criterion keys ie item analysis based on control group and psychiatric in patients

What does the Item Discrimination Index measure?

Criterion validity

What are the four weaknesses of the MMPI-2?

1. Items overlap 2. Response styles affects score (need more reverse scores) 3. Demographic variables correlate with scales 4. Clinical samples are not nationally representative
