Study Notes
Understanding Psychometric Testing
- Standardization transforms scale scores into universal indexes like IQ, used for comparison between individuals, groups, and other scales.
- Validity in psychometric testing refers to the degree to which an instrument measures what it claims to measure, affected by biases and errors in test construction and conclusions.
- Construct validity assesses if observed attributes are real, considering cultural, procedural, and interpretation biases.
- Testing can have both positive and negative impacts, such as labeling and not being a holistic approach.
- Validity assumptions determine population norms and have limitations, examples include Z-scores and t-scores.
- Construct validity examines if constructs have a coherent theoretical foundation, relevant to internal and external validity.
- Operationalization is the process of generating operational definitions that allow for empirical assessment, such as mental health defined by symptoms in the DSM-V.
- Factorial validity is a type of construct validity focused on the measurement instrument, relevant to internal validity.
- Convergent validity demonstrates high levels of correlation between related constructs, while discriminant validity shows lower levels of correlation between unrelated constructs.
- Criterion-related validity assesses the degree to which a test correlates to or predicts a theoretical representation of the construct.
- Structural validity ensures that scores represent the content area they claim to represent, avoiding ceiling and floor effects.
- Reliability measures the stability of measurement output across time or context, explained by classical test theory and assessed through variance and reliability index.
Understanding the Big Five Personality Traits
- The Big Five personality traits are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
- The traits were developed by Costa and Mcrae, who found 5 domains, unlike Cattell's proposed 16.
- The Big Five traits are based on factor analysis (FA) and include L-data (life recorded data), Q-data (questionnaire data), and T-data (test data).
- The lexical approach to personality focuses on how to predict an individual's behavior in a given situation.
- The heritability index for neuroticism is 0.31, while for extraversion, it is 0.36, and for agreeableness, it is 0.28.
- Neuroticism is associated with emotional instability, such as emotional control, stress, and negative affectivity.
- Extraversion is linked to social impact, positive affect, and includes facets like warmth, activity, and cheerfulness.
- Agreeableness is related to maintaining positive relations with others, including trust, altruism, and compliance.
- Conscientiousness is about responsibility and the will to achieve, with facets like competence and self-discipline.
- The Big Five traits have been applied cross-culturally, and there are different approaches to developing the traits within each culture.
- The Big Five traits have been used for profiling, and the heritability index for conscientiousness is 0.28.
- The lexical hypothesis describes behavior using adjectives, and the Big Five traits have good temporal stability and internal consistency.
Personality and Gender Differences
- Evolutionary fitness of personality traits influences the correlation between domains such as extraversion and agreeableness.
- Individual differences in reproductive strategies are linked to varying levels of general psychometric factor (GPF) with higher GPF associated with K-strategy over R-strategy.
- Method effect theory suggests that correlation between domains can be influenced by people distorting their responses to sound good, including impression management and self-deceptive enhancement.
- The Dark Triad comprises narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, with differences observed between men and women in various personality traits.
- Traits outside common models include self-efficacy, self-esteem, locus of control, need for cognition, and empathy.
- The Jingle-Jangle Jungle fallacies refer to misconceptions about the similarity or difference between personality traits and measures.
- Meta-analysis by Schmitt on Big-5 reveals small to moderate gender differences, such as women scoring higher on enthusiasm and men scoring higher on assertiveness.
- Social roles, social modeling, social reinforcement, evolutionary psychology theory, and artefactual explanations are linked to gender differences in personality.
- Reasons to study gender differences in personality include implications for hiring and diagnostic purposes.
- Narrative reviews and meta-analyses provide different perspectives on gender differences in personality, with the former lacking a structured approach and the latter offering a systematic search for research findings.
- The person-situation debate involves dispositionism, which suggests that personality determines behavior, and situationalism, which argues that the situation determines behavior.
- The personality coefficient accounts for a small to moderate effect and about 9% of behavior differences, while the situation accounts for a much lower percentage.
Personality Traits and Emotions in Psychology
- Longitudinal study shows an increase in conscientiousness at each life stage, with only small significance in 20s/30s.
- Longitudinal and cross-sectional studies reveal different effects for dominance and vitality in extraversion, with a small significant effect of dominance and a negative effect for vitality.
- Agreeableness increases at each life stage with only small significance in 50s/60s, according to longitudinal and cross-sectional studies.
- Neuroticism decreases at all life stages, with only small significance in 20-40s in longitudinal and cross-sectional studies.
- Openness increases earlier in life and decreases later in longitudinal studies, while cross-sectional studies show all decreasing.
- Costa and McCrae suggest the 5 factors are enduring and stable dispositions with a heritability and biological basis.
- Eysenck criticizes the broad justifications of the 5-factor model and argues that heritability is not sufficient to determine a biological basis.
- Emotions are suggested to have a biological/genetic basis, as proposed by Plutchik's wheel of emotion and the affect circumplex model.
- Emotions occur in a sequence over time giving rise to components like appraisal, physiological changes, action tendencies, internal experience, and expressions.
- Arnold's appraisal theory suggests that feelings, expressions, and physiological changes occur at the same time and are caused by appraisals of the situation in terms of personal meaning.
- Coping potential appraisals, normative significance appraisals, and other types of appraisals are part of the transactional model of stress and coping in psychology.
- Historical theories of emotion include James-Lange theory, Cannon-Bard theory, and Lazarus' core relational themes, which propose different relationships between expressions, feelings, and physiological changes in emotions.
Types of Racism and Measuring Racial Prejudice
- There are three types of racism: blatant (overt) racism, subtle (covert) racism, and aversive racism
- Aversive racism is proposed by Dovidio and involves consciously advocating egalitarian views while unconsciously adhering to social norms to appear not racist
- Measuring racial prejudice involves two developmental stages: early learning of cultural stereotypes and evaluation of stereotype validity in respect to own beliefs
- McConahay’s explicit measures include the Modern racism scale (MRS) and the Old-fashioned racism scale (OFRS), but they have limitations such as confounding prejudice and political conservatism
- Implicit measures, like the Implicit Association Test (IAT), aim to measure unconscious attitudes and have been criticized for their susceptibility to deliberate faking and poor behavioral predictability
- Social desirability bias leads people to report more socially acceptable answers, and it is more prevalent in explicit measures
- The MODE model, proposed by Fazio and Olson, suggests that motivation and opportunity to control prejudice moderate the relationship between attitude-behavior and implicit-explicit measures
- There is a tendency for dependency and hatred of parents to lead to displacement of unacceptable impulses into hostility towards minority groups
- Implicit and explicit measures will correlate when individuals have low motivation and opportunity to control prejudice
Social Cognition and Automatic Processes
- Social cognition involves uncertainty and is influenced by factors like gender, upbringing, region, and political views.
- Memory and past experiences can influence our judgments.
- Scarcity leads to the perception of value and desirability.
- Competing goals in social cognition include mental efficiency and protection of self-image.
- Cognitive styles such as consistency seeker, naive scientist, cognitive miser, and motivated tactician influence decision-making.
- Confirmation bias contributes to echo chambers and filter bubbles in social media.
- The motivated tactician approach involves choosing between default/automatic and more controlled processes based on motivation and situation.
- The activated actor considers the role of the environment in behavior and is influenced by situational cues.
- Automatic nonconscious processes like priming, implicit bias, and stereotyping affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
- Priming involves exposure to stimuli that influence judgments and responses without awareness.
- Social priming influences ambiguous information and can be affected by variables like gender schema.
- Research has shown mixed results in experiments related to social priming, with some studies showing significant effects and others showing no significant difference.
