    Study Notes

    Gender Schemas

    • Gender schemas are organized cognitive structures that encompass society's attributes, beliefs, norms, and expected behaviors for males and females.
    • These schemas shape personality and behavior through socialization experiences.
    • Males are often encouraged to exhibit emotional strength and independence, while females are expected to be kind, nurturing, and emotional in relationships.
    • Cultural context influences gender schemas; for example, America shows more gender fluidity compared to collectivistic cultures like India.

    Personality Assessment

    • Understanding one's personality fosters self-growth and awareness of personal limitations.
    • Various personality assessment tools include Self Report Personality Inventories, Psychometric Tests, Projective Techniques, and Behavioral Assessment Tools.
    • Personality assessments are crucial in organizational settings for recruitment and development.
    • Assessing personality helps in diagnosing mental health issues by providing insight into a client's challenges.

    Types of Intelligence

    • Seven types of intelligence are proposed to describe cognitive abilities:
      • Linguistic Intelligence: Proficiency in using language for expression, reading, and writing.
      • Logical-Mathematical Intelligence: Skills in logic, problem-solving, and mathematical reasoning, typical in scientists and engineers.
      • Visual-Spatial Intelligence: Ability to visualize and manipulate objects in space, common in architects and artists.
      • Musical Intelligence: Capacity to understand and create music, found in musicians and composers.
      • Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence: Skill in physical expression and manipulation of objects, prevalent in athletes and dancers.
      • Interpersonal Intelligence: Capability to interact effectively with others, demonstrated by leaders and therapists.

    Crystallised and Fluid Intelligence

    • Crystallised intelligence (gc) pertains to utilizing acquired knowledge to solve problems, aiding in vocabulary and comprehension tasks.
    • Fluid intelligence (gf) refers to the ability to think abstractly and solve new, unfamiliar problems, useful for puzzles and conceptual challenges.
    • The two types of intelligence, proposed by Raymond Cattell and John Horn, are independent yet complementary.
    • Over a lifespan, individuals tend to transition from relying on fluid intelligence to crystallised intelligence as experience accumulates.
