Study Notes
Temperament and PTSD
- Individuals with higher briskness and endurance tend to have lower PTSD symptoms, suggesting these traits may provide some resilience against PTSD.
- Higher emotional reactivity and perseverance are associated with higher PTSD symptoms, indicating these traits may exacerbate PTSD symptoms.
Temperament Changes and PTSD
- Individuals who show improvement in PTSD symptoms exhibit significant changes in Briskness, Emotional Reactivity, Endurance, and Activity.
- These changes suggest that effective PTSD treatment can enhance quick reactions, emotional stability, endurance, and overall activity levels.
Thomas & Chess Approach
- Importance of individual differences
- Role of interaction between the individual and the environment
- Importance of social demands and expectations
Roots of the Theory
- Clinical observations (individual differences between children in their first weeks of life)
- Results of previous studies (individual patterns of behavior in infancy, individual differences in newborns)
NYLS
- 85 families, middle and upper-middle class, with one or two children between 2 and 3 months
- 133 subjects observed from 1956 to 1980
- Individual reaction patterns
Categories of Temperament
- Activity: level of motor activity and amount of time baby spends being active
- Rhythmicity/regularity: how regular the patterns of eating, sleeping, and other bodily functions are
- Response to new things: how baby will probably respond to new experiences
- Adaptability: how baby responds to changes in their environment
- Sensitivity: baby's threshold for stimuli
- Response: energy levels and intensity of baby's responses
- Disposition: whether baby generally seems happy or unhappy, friendly or unfriendly
- Distractability: how easily baby can be distracted from what they are doing
- Attention span: span of time that baby will pay attention to one thing when left to their own devices
Types of Temperament
- Easy: children categorized as 'easy' generally have a positive attitude, are quick to fall into routines, and quick to adapt to new situations
- Difficult: children in the 'difficult' category cry more often, have a harder time adapting to new situations, and don't regularly follow routines
- Slow to warm up: children who are 'slow to warm up' adapt slowly and can react negatively, but also show a low intensity in their emotional reactions
The Goodness of Fit
- Correspondence between capacities, temperament, and other individual characteristics and opportunities, demands, and expectations of the environment
- Optimal development
- Poorness of fit – maladaptive functioning and distorted development
Critical Remarks
- Misleading adjectives (easy/difficult)
- Lack of correspondence between difficult temperament and interactionist approach
- Poor psychometric properties of the tools used in the study
- Lack of operationalization of the term behavior disorder
Current Approach
- Temperament-based interventions
- Training workshop for preschool day care providers
- Parent education program for highly withdrawn children
- Comprehensive intervention that teaches parents and teachers how to use temperament-based strategies to reduce behavior problems
Gurievich, Matvieyev (1970)
- In an emergency situation, operators with strong nervous systems function effectively, while operators with weak nervous systems suffer from disorders.
Strong Nervous Systems
- Better at studying, sport competitions, and operating in emergency situations
- Styles of action: mobility of nervous processes does not affect work efficiency, but affects the style of action
Weak Nervous Systems
- Discouragement from learning, behaviors indicating protective inhibition, and suffering from disorders in emergency situations
- Styles of action: relationship between operators' efficiency and strength of their nervous system
Yerkes-Dodson Law
- Relationship between the level of arousal (motivation) and the level of performance (response effectiveness)
Intelligence
- The mental capacity to learn from experiences, adapt to new situations, understand and handle abstract concepts, and use knowledge to manipulate one's environment
- Intelligence quotient (IQ): a standard measure of an individual's intelligence level based on psychological tests
- IQ scoring: ranges from 40 to 160, with different levels of intelligence
Debates on IQ Testing
- Validity, accuracy of measurement, reliability, and Jensenism (biologically inherited property varied according to skin color)
Sensation Seeking
- A trait defined by the need for varied, novel, and complex sensations and experiences and the willingness to take physical and social risks for the sake of such experience
- Types of sensation seeking: thrill and adventure seeking, experience seeking, disinhibition, and boredom susceptibility
Biological Theory of Sensation Seeking
- Experimental research, sensory deprivation studies, and sensation seeking studies
- Scientific relationship with Eysenck
- Sensory deprivation: increased anxiety, somatic discomfort, thinking and concentration difficulties, and both auditory and visual hallucinations
- Optimal level of arousal: a combination of physiological and psychological activation, influenced by factors such as stress, cognitive load, and emotional states
