Study Notes
- There are different approaches to studying personality, including cross-situational enduring typical individual differences, human nature (universal approach), individual & group variation (nomothetic approach), and individual uniqueness (idiographic approach).
- Personality traits refer to typical tendencies to behave, think, or feel in related ways across different situations and time periods.
- There should be a considerable amount of systematic variance in scores on personality measures that can be attributed to individual differences between people.
- Three inventory construction strategies include empirical, factor-analytic, and rational approaches.
- Empirical strategy involves creating an inventory based on items that differentiate groups of people who exhibit different personality characteristics.
- Factor-analytic strategy involves identifying underlying factors or dimensions of personality represented by a set of items.
- Rational strategy involves creating an inventory based on theoretical concepts or constructs of personality.
- Structured assessment involves using a standardized questionnaire or inventory to measure personality traits.
- Limitations of structured assessment include individuals' ability to accurately report on their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
- Projective tests are a type of assessment that differs from structured assessment.
