- 1self report Datarevealing of self - obtained through interviews, blogs, questionnaires: ADV-wealth of knowledge, personal experience DIS- lies, bias, accuracy
- 2L/L O/I S/S T/TLife history data
Observer Report
Self-Report
Test Data - 3structured unstructured-closed questions: true and false, trait descriptive (ACL),
-open-ended questions: Likert rating scale (least-most likely), Twenty statement test (I am...), experience reports - 4Observer-report data (O-data)use friends, families, teachers, casual acquaintances gathering info about a persons personality
ADV- access new info, group relation info, Multiple observers
DIS- bias, inaccurate info, no ideal purposes for info/assess. - 5inter-rater reliabilitymultiple observers allows investigators to see if there is agreement/disagreement
- 6multiple social personalitiespersonalities manifest in varying social environments depending on the relationship with others
- 7naturalistic observationobservers witness and record events that occur in normal course of participants lives
- 8Test data (T-Data)participants are places in standardization testing, diff ppl react to same situation
- 9Edwin Megargee's study (1969)1. high domiant(h-d) woman w/ Low-d man 2. h-d man w/ L-d man 3. h-d woman w/ L-d woman 4. h-d man w/ L-d woman
man are more likely to take leadership role, even if less dominant. woman would appoint the men - 10T-data adv disADV: control the context of experiment, test hypothesis
DIS: try to guess the trait being measured, or interrupt the experiment differently, researcher influencing test - 11actometer mechanical recording devicemodified self-winding watch, which can be strapped to arms, legs of participants, registers activity- usually kids
- 12Physiological Data fMRI eyeblink startle reflexarousal, reactivity, speed at taking in information, blood pressure, SNS, muscle contraction, brain waves
- 13Christopher patrick psychopathyused eye blink startle test to see if psychopaths have a normal reaction to fear --- psychopaths exhibit less anxiety + guilt in test
- 14fMRI used in personality +psychopathologyfunction Magnetic resonance imaging- gauges the iron in oxygen used by brain & lights up the parts of brain using more
- 15Projective technique Hermann Rorschachperson is given a standard stimulus and asked what he/he sees. -Inkblot
- 16Life-outcome data (L-data)info from events, activities, outcomes in persons life available to public scrutiny - may use S/O data to predict L
- 17L-Dataseverity of trait, frequency it is displayed
- 18L-Dataseverity of trait, frequency it is displayed
- 193 standards of personality assessment1. reliability
2. Validity
3. Generalizability - 20Reliabilitydegree to which an obtained measure represents true level of trait being measured
- 21repeated measurementrepeating measures several times over time getting similar results
- 22Response sets noncontent respondingtendency of some ppl to respond to questions on basis that is unrelated to question context
- 23acquiescencetendency to simply agree w/ questionnaire items regardless of contents
- 24Extreme Respondingtendency to give endpoint responses, such as strongly agree/disagree
- 25social desirabilitytendency to answer items in such a way as to come across as socially attractive/ likable
- 263 approaches to combatting social desirability1. Approval Motive
2.less susceptible question
3. forced-choice questionnaire - 27forced-choice questionnairetest takers are confronted w/ pairs of statements & are asked to indicate w/h statement in each pair is more true
- 28Social desirability from Delroy Paulhus is seen as two things:1. Self-Deception Enhancement subscale
2. Impression Management subscale - 29Validityextent to which a test measures what it claims to measure
- 30face validityon surface appears to measure what it is supposed to measure
- 31predictive validity criterion validitytest predicts criteria external to the test
- 32convergent Validitytest correlates with the measures that it should correlate with, alternative measures correlate or converge with target measure
- 33discriminant validitywhat a measure should not correlate with
-always done with convergent validity - 34construct validitymeasures what it claims to measure, correlates w/ what it is supposed to correlate w/, doesn't correlate w/ what it isn't supposed to correlate w/
- 35theoretical constructsHypothetical internal entities useful in describing & explaining diff b/w ppl
- 36Generalizabilitydegree to which the measure retains its validity across various contexts
ex. ethnic groups, culture - 37experimental methodsto determine causality, whether one variable influences another variable
- 38experimental methods1. variable manipulation
2. participants in each experimental experience same conditions - 39random assignment of...all participants to experimental groups
- 40counterbalancingequivalence created by the order of events
- 415 significant differences1. sample size
2. mean
3. standard deviation
4. t-test
5. p-value - 42p-valuesignificance of the differences among conditions
- 43statistically significant1/20, 0.05, likely to occur 5/100 times
- 44relationships among variableshow the variables relate to each other in the experiement
- 45correctional methodstatistical procedure used to determine whether there is a relationship b/w 2 variables
- 46Correlational coefficientstatistical procedure for gauging rela. b/w variables
- 47correlational research is interested in 2 variables1. direction
2. magnitude - 48directionality problemA & B are correlated but not the cause
- 49third variable problemtwo variables might be related to a third unknown variable
- 50case study methodexamining life of one person w/ an in-depth look -can use recording, interviewing etc.
- 51Gordon Allportbelieved that personality could be studied through in-depth case studies
