Self-Report Tests of Personality

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.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex and multifaceted mental health condition characterized by pervasive instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, emotions, and impulse control. This instability manifests in extreme emotional reactions, fear of abandonment, and self-destructive behaviors. The disorder significantly impacts daily functioning, often leading to distress in both personal and professional domains.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental health condition marked by significant mood fluctuations, including episodes of mania and depression. Elevated energy levels, heightened mood or irritability, impulsive behavior, reduced sleep needs, rapid speech, racing thoughts, inflated self-esteem, and distractibility characterize mania. Individuals with bipolar disorder often alternate between depressive and manic states, with periods of emotional stability lasting an average of six months to a year.

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Strategies of Self-Presentation III: Self-Monitoring

Strategies of Self-Presentation III: Self-Monitoring

Self-monitoring is a central construct in understanding individual differences in self-presentation strategies across social contexts. It refers to how individuals observe, regulate, and control their expressive behavior and self-presentation following situational cues. Self-monitoring reflects a person's sensitivity to social appropriateness and willingness to adapt behavior to fit varying interpersonal demands.High vs. Low Self-Monitoring IndividualsIndividuals high in self-monitoring are...

Area of Science:

Psychiatry
Psychometrics

Background:

The Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP) assesses functioning, but a self-reported graphic version (SRG-PSP) was needed for broader application.
Previous research established the reliability and validity of the SRG-PSP in schizophrenia patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the validity of the SRG-PSP in assessing functionality among patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder (BD).

Main Methods:

114 patients with BD were recruited from outpatient clinics.
Participants completed the SRG-PSP alongside established scales for mania (YMRS), depression (MADRS), global impression (CGI), symptom severity (PANSS), overall function (GAF), health status (SF-36), and disability (SDS).
Criterion-related validity was assessed by correlating SRG-PSP scores with other measures.

Main Results:

The SRG-PSP demonstrated significant correlations with the original PSP, confirming criterion-related validity.
The SRG-PSP global score showed significant correlations with YMRS, MADRS, PANSS, CGI-Depression, GAF, SF-36, and SDS scores.
Specific SRG-PSP domains exhibited expected correlations with symptom severity, global functioning, and disability scales, supporting its construct validity.

Conclusions:

The SRG-PSP is a validated self-reported instrument for evaluating functional capacity in individuals with bipolar disorder.
This finding supports the use of the SRG-PSP as a reliable tool for clinicians and researchers assessing functioning in BD patients.
