MMPI L, F, K
L = Lie (high fake good) F = infrequent responding (high fake bad, cry for help) K = corrective (coping resources - low/high defensive)
Biofeedback (EMG)
health of muscle and nerves matching them - good for muscle injury, pain
Biofeedback (Galvanic Skin Response)
electrodermal activity
measures electrical conductivity of skin
good for anxiety

Job Analysis
- Develop/validate selection instruments
- ID measures of job performance
- Assist in developing training programs
Work Samples
less adverse impact
motor more valid
Interviews
less valid unfavorable info carries more weight, decisions made early in interviews, judge on superficial traits, past-oriented and structured with job analyses more effective
Personnel Selection Types
Multiple Regression - compensatory (additive)
Multiple Cutoff - min on each measure (conjunctive)
Multiple Hurdle - pass before next level
Holland’s Personality Typologies
RIASEC
- Realistic - manipulation of machinery
- Investigative - analytical, curious
- Artistic - expressive, non-conforming
- Social - work w/ others
- Enterprising - manipulation to obtain goals/money
- Conventional - data, filing, etc.
satisfaction, longevity, and productivity increase with personality-environment fit
ROE’s Fields and Levels Theory
Experiences with parents leads to occupational choice and success;
3 parenting orientations (overprotective, avoidant, acceptant);
8 job fields; 6 job levels
Super’s Life Career Development Theory
self-concept related to career choice, stage model, Rainbow - 9 roles adapted during stages
5 Stages: Growth Exploration Establishment Maintenance Decline
Career Maturity - mastering stage tasks
Tiedman and O’Hare’s Decision-Making Model
Based on Erikson’s Identity Stages
Differentiation and Integration - making distinctions about self and environment and unifying these aspects
realizing job doesn’t fit with personality
Personal Reality (right for self) vs. Common Reality (society/others think is right for you)
Theory Z
combo of Theory A (USA) and Theory J (Japan)
J with individual responsibility and moderately specialized career path
Japanese have longer employment duration, slow promotion, consensual decision-making, collective responsibility, holistic knowledge
Leadership Styles (Lewin, Lipitt, White)
Autocratic - increased productivity, especially with routine work; high when leader is present, low when absent; Groups (aggressive, dependent, self-oriented)
Democratic - increased satisfaction and creativity ; good productivity not effected by presence of leader; most liked; groups (friendly, group centered task oriented)
Laissez-faire - low productivity, increases when absent
Theory X
Old way, poor view of workers
X out personal concerns, cross/stern unfeeling taskmasters
Theory Y
workers are ambitious and require freedom and autonomy
encourage Y questions
Fiedler’s Contingency
High LPC
Relationship Oriented
moderately favorable
Fiedler’s Contingency
Low LPC
Task Oriented
low or highly favorable
Hersey and Blanchard Styles
Responsibility Low High A B Telling Selling I L I Participating T Delegating Y
Telling - high task, low relationship
Selling - high task and relationship
Participating - low task and high relationship
Delegating - low task, and relationship
Organizational Change -
Empirical-Rational
people are rational; if given all info they will act in accordance with self-interest
Organizational Change -
Normative-Re-educative
social norms underlie group behavior; change attitudes to bring acceptance of change
Organizational Change -
Power-Coercive
uses rewards and punishment to coerce
Driver’s Decision Making Styles
Satisficers/Maximizers - amount of info needed to make decision
Unifocus/Multifocus - focus/goal/outcome
- Decisive - S/U - inflexible, short-sighted
- Flexible - S/M - fast but willing to change, little structure
- Hierarchic - M/U - thorough, rigid, over-controlling
- Integrative - M/M - value creativity, best with groups
- Systemic - 3/4 combo
Decisive and Flexible - simple and quick response
Others - long-term and costly decisions
understand your style, work with people with different styles, match job to your style
Maslow
Phyisological, safety, love/belong, esteem, self-actualization
Goal-Setting Theory
Max - specific, moderate difficulty, frequent feedback
Management by objective - employee and supervisor agree to specific, measurable goals
- positive impact on performance
- incentives do not help
- group goals may be more valuable
- no gender differences
Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory
Satisfaction vs. Dissatisfaction
Hygiene - Dissatisfiers, job factors (pay, benefits, setting, relationships with coworkers) - absence = dissatisfied; presence not satisfied
Motivator - satisfiers, job enrichment (responsiveness, growth, decision making, more responsibility) [satisfaction and productivity] and job enlargement (more/different work w/out responsibility) [satisfaction only] - presence = satisfaction; absence not dissatisfied
Work Schedules
Compressed work week (no change in productivity; physical work suffers; lower absenteeism; increased job satisfaction; women like it less)
Flextime (higher satisfaction and attitude; lower absenteeism and tardiness; unclear effect on productivity)
Shift work (rotating worse than night, lower productivity, higher accidents, more health problems, young adapt better)
Hindbrain
Cerebellum - balance, coordination, posture (ataxia)
Brainstem
- pons (myelencephalon, raphe nuclei) - regulates state of arousal, triggers and maintains slow wave sleep
- medulla oblongata (metencephalon) - breathing, heart rate, BP, digestion (damage fatal)
Midbrain
Mesencephalon:
- substantia nigra - extrapyramidal motor system, modulates smoothness, initiation, and termination of movement
- reticular formation -
sleep, arousal, pain,
touch, reflexes (reticular activating system - maintaining waking state and attention)
Forebrain
Diencephalon:
- hypothalamus - homeostasis (5 F’s)
- thalamus - central sensory relay (not smell)
Telencephalon:
- cerebral cortex - 4 lobes
- basal ganglia - voluntary movement
- limbic system -mediates emotional component of bx (amygdala - attaching emotional meaning, aggression, damages causes lack of response;
septum - inhibits emotion
hippocampus - memory consolidation, anterograde amnesia)
Acetylcholine (Ach)
movement and memory
too much - paralysis
too little - memory (Alzheimer’s Disease and Huntington’s Disease)
mediates sexual bx and REM sleep
Catecholamines
Cats Not Dogs
Norepinephrine
Epinephrine
Dopamine
personality, mood, drive states
Norepinephrine
mood, pain, sleep
Low = Depression
High = Schizophrenia, and Axiety
Catecholamine Hypothesis
Low = Depression High = Mania
Dopamine
Low = Parkinson’s Disease (substantia nigra in the basal ganglia) - L-Dopa treats movement symptoms
High = Schizophrenia, Mania
Serotonin
mood, aggression, sex, sleep onset, pain, schizophrenia
Low = Depression (permissive hypothesis - low levels permit mood dx, but norepinepherine determines mania or depression)
Anxiety, aggression, sleep, pain, obesity
GABA
most common
inhibitory
low = Anxiety, epileptic seizures, Huntington’s Disease
Glutamate
Excitatory
Memory, long term potentiation, and brain damage from stroke
Pituitary Gland
- master endocrine gland
- affected by hypothalamus
- growth and anti-diuretic hormones

Pancreas
- Insulin
- absorbs glucose and amino acids

influences adrenocortitropic hormone from pituitary
Addison’s Disease - low - apathy, weakness, irritability, depression, gastrointestinal disturbance
Cushing’s Disease - high - agitated depression, irritability and emotional lability, memory and concentration, suicide, adiposity (swelling and fattening) of face, neck, and trunk
