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.
