Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.
Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...
Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification03:00

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) requires accurate assessment tools.
  • Previous revisions of the Padua Inventory had limitations in factorial structure and validity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the psychometric properties and validity of existing Padua Inventory revisions.
  • To develop and validate a new revision for assessing obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Examined psychometric properties and factorial structure of two Padua Inventory revisions in patients with OCD, anxiety, and/or depression.
  • Developed a 24-item revision (Padua Inventory-Palatine Revision, PI-PR) based on theoretical and statistical analysis.

Main Results:

  • The five-factor structures of previous revisions were not replicated.
  • The PI-PR demonstrated a robust psychometric profile, assessing six relevant subscales.
  • The PI-PR showed advantages over prior revisions in assessing a broad range of symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • The Padua Inventory-Palatine Revision (PI-PR) is a brief, psychometrically sound, and valid instrument.
  • The PI-PR is suitable for assessing diverse obsessive-compulsive symptoms in clinical populations.
