Q

What is the Empirical approach ? ?

A
  • large number of items that desribe actions thought and feelings / characteristiscs
  • structured
  • large sample
  • extra indicator (such as school grades)
  • It is priviously know what will be meassured
  • Content of itmes do not matter only the emparical link (correlation) (random question )

Q

What is the criticism on the empirical approach

A
  • fake/coincidental association can occur if sample is not big enough
  • extra indicator can be choosen by each measurer which means scores can show variability

Q

What is the factor analysis ?

A
  • no spacific plan
  • large sample with lots of question
  • sort items together to create groups/dimensions
  • Each group represent a trait
  • factor loading determines how important something is for a trait from 1 to -1 (high loading can be positive or negative
  • If zero then it is not relevant at all

Q

What are the critics on the factor analysis ?

A
  • needs a variety of items otherwise it will meassure only limited traits
  • even if traits are diverse no gurantee if the trait is ideal for the purpose

Q

What is the rational approach ?

A
  • Not a lot of items only items which are important for the trait
  • Items are collected rationally
  • Items are gained by studies
  • content plays a role not only correlation

Q

What is the criticsm on the rational approach ?

A
  • Resulting scales can only be as good as the sets of items chosen by the measurer
  • Easy to fake

Q

What is the best approach ?

A
  • Best is the rational approach = simple /easy and highest validity and reliability
  • But all in all combining all of them is the best

Q

Are self or observer reporst more usefull ?

A
  • most studies are done by self report
  • self report and observer report show high correlation -> even higher when there is a family member
  • It also depends on characteristics trait

Q

What are the impacts of biases regarding self and observer reports ?

A
  • Small impact can get excluded
  • But they are allways present
  • self and observer report do not need to have the same biases
17
Q

What is the lexical approach ?

A
  • it is a factor analysis
    1. Researcher searches through dictionary to find list of personality-descriptive adjectives
    2. Exclude rarely used terms
    3. Administer to large sample
    4. Calculate correlations to find major categories
  • first used by cattell
  • lexical hypothesis -> people will want to talk about traits that have important consequeces on their life
18
Q

What is the lexical hypothesis ?

A
  • people will want to talk about traits that they view as having important consequences on their lives
19
Q

What is the big five ?

A
  • 35 variables found by cattell which could be put in 5 major categories/dimensions -> only english
  • Extraversion
  • Argeeableness
  • Consientiousness
  • Emotinally stabillity and neuroticsm
  • intellect/imagination
20
Q

Q

What does intellect stand for ?

A
  • cretivity vs conventionallity
25
What is Neo PIR ? Also name critic
A test to study the big five personallity traits but also test 6 subcategories (facets) of each trait - critic: openess to experience does not take intellect into account - Agreebalnes contain certain facets which did not corelate to the major factor
26
Why was the HEXACO important?
- Was developed because the big five only counted for english speaking person - As well as the technology was not that present at the time so not that many traits could be assessed
27
What are the 3 sizes of HEXACO's ?
- 200 question - 100 question - 60 question
28
What are the 6 dimesnions from the HEXACO'S ?
1. Honesty / humility 2. Agreeablness 3. Emotionality 4. Conscientiousness 5. Extraversion 6. Opennes to experinece
29
What is the difference between the big five and HEXACO ?
- Only Honestly / humility = got added | - neuroticism relted somehow to emotinality but also some other aspects
30
What are the three personality types ?
- the resilient type: All around type - the internalizing type: Rather anxcious person - the externalizing type: aggresive and impulsive person - but in general soo many different types
31
What is the rorschach inklobot technique ?
- it is a projective test which means it is unstructured - Asking people what they see in 10 inklobots - Inkblots designed to look like one thing in one part but something contradictory in another part (obvoius vs hooks) - psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both - used for personality description
32
What is a typical performance meassure ?
- wide possiblities of reponding with no strong demands
33
What was the criticism on the Rorschach inkblot ?
- low reliability (not everyone came to same conclusion) - poor validity (only schizophrenia and bipolar disorder can be meassured - overdiagnosis of people - everything is leaked - norms of ECS is are to inaccurate
34
What is ESC in combination to Rorschach performance ?
- set of instruction with detailed rules for percieving the Inklobot and for how to interpreted these findings
35
What are other projective tests ?
- Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) | - drawing test
36
What is the hematic Apperception Test (TAT) ?
- make up a story describing the events going on in the picture - Supposed to show reationship/ attitude to self and other
37
What are the critics of the TAT ?
- no standard administration test-> low reliability | - overdiagnose
38
What is the general conclusion regarding approaches.
- projective methods do not give new exsiting insides | - but the combination of all approaches lead to better conclusions
39
What is the drawing task about ?
- showing sexuell abuse !
