Study Notes
Individual Differences in Human Functioning
- Individual differences refer to variations in characteristics and behaviors among people.
- Situationism suggests that behaviors are significantly influenced by the surrounding environment and circumstances.
- Psychological assessment is the process of evaluating psychological attributes, abilities, behaviors, and personal qualities through systematic testing procedures.
Types of Assessment
- Formal Assessment: Standardized, objective, and organized.
- Informal Assessment: Varies per case and assessor, subjective.
Characteristics of Psychological Attributes
- Complex and multi-dimensional (cognitive, emotional, social, etc.).
Psychological Attributes: Intelligence
- Definition: Global capacity for understanding the world, rational thinking, and effective resource utilization in challenging situations.
- Use of Tests: Intelligence tests measure overall cognitive ability, including the capacity for learning from schooling.
Psychological Attributes: Aptitude
- Definition: Underlying potential for acquiring skills.
- Use of Tests: Aptitude tests predict future capabilities with proper training and environment.
Psychological Attributes: Interest
- Definition: Preference for specific activities over others.
- Use of Tests: Interest assessments help guide choices promoting life satisfaction and vocational success.
Psychological Attributes: Personality
- Definition: Relatively enduring characteristics making a person unique.
- Use of Tests: Personality assessments elucidate behaviors and predict future actions.
Psychological Attributes: Values
- Definition: Enduring beliefs about ideals for guiding behavior and judging others.
- Use of Tests: Value assessments determine dominant beliefs and principles guiding actions.
Assessment Methods
- Psychological Tests: Objective, standardized measures of mental and/or behavioral characteristics. Used for clinical diagnosis, guidance, personnel selection, placement, and training.
- Interviews: Gathering information from individuals through one-on-one interactions, used in counselling, employee selection, and other applications.
- Case Studies: In-depth examinations of individuals’ backgrounds, histories, and experiences in their environments. Utilized by clinical psychologists.
- Observations: Recording and analyzing behaviors in natural settings via organized, systematic, and objective procedures.
- Self-Reports: Method where individuals provide information about themselves and beliefs via interviews, questionnaires, psychological tests, and personal diaries.
Intelligence and Theories of Intelligence
-
Multiple definitions of intelligence exist.
-
Psychometric approach emphasizes cognitive abilities as a singular index.
-
Uni-factor theory: Intelligence is a single trait.
-
Two-factor theory: Includes a general factor (g) and specific factors (s.)
-
Theory of Primary Mental Abilities: Proposes 7 independent primary abilities.
-
Hierarchical Model of Intelligence: Suggests intelligence operates at multiple levels.
-
Structure of Intellect Model: Classifies intellectual traits across operations, contents, and products.
-
Information-Processing Approach: Explains how individuals use cognitive processes for problem-solving and reasoning.
-
Theory of Multiple Intelligences: Postulates several distinct types of intelligence, independent of each other (linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and naturalistic.)
-
Triarchic Theory of Intelligence: Views intelligence as comprised of componential, experiential, and contextual elements, emphasizing adaptability and contextual factors in intelligence.
-
PASS Model of Intelligence: Suggests interdependent neurological systems (arousal/attention, simultaneous/successive processing) are fundamental to intellectual activity.
Intelligence: Nature vs. Nurture
- Correlations highlight the interplay of genetic predispositions (nature) and environmental influences (nurture) in shaping intelligence.
- Twin and sibling studies reveal heritability influence on intelligence, although environmental factors still play a significant role.
Assessment of Intelligence
- Development of standardized IQ tests, and methods of determining mental age.
- Typical IQ distributions and understanding of normal vs. exceptional intelligence and intellectual disability.
Culture and Intelligence
- Cultures vary in values, and these values inform societal expectations and performance assessments.
- Vygotsky's theory highlight cultural contexts as foundational for intellectual development.
Creativity and Intelligence
- Creativity is the capacity to generate novel ideas, objects, or problem solutions.
- Some studies suggest limited correlation between intelligence and creativity.
Types of Intelligence Tests
- Individual tests: Administered to one person with an emphasis on rapport-building.
- Group tests: Administered to multiple persons simultaneously.
- Verbal tests: Require oral or written responses.
- Nonverbal tests: Employ illustrations or visuals.
- Performance tests: Require manipulation of objects to assess skills and abilities.
- Culture-fair tests: Designed to avoid bias toward specific cultural groups.
