Trait and State Self-Esteem

11.5K
The term self-esteem is often used generically, to refer to how people feel about themselves. However, according to research, there are three distinct constructs that should not be used interchangeably (Brown & Marshall, 2006).

Polygenic Traits01:18

Polygenic Traits

69.2K
When more than one gene is responsible for a given phenotype, the trait is considered polygenic. Human height is a polygenic trait. Studies have uncovered hundreds of loci that influence height, and there are believed to be many more. Due to the high number of genes involved, as well as environmental and nutritional factors, height varies significantly within a given population. The distribution of height forms a bell-shaped curve, with relatively few individuals in the population at the...

Traits and States

563
Personality traits represent consistent patterns in behavior, thoughts, and emotions, reflecting an individual's tendencies across various situations. For example, extraversion, a well-known trait, manifests in individuals as talkative, energetic, and enthusiastic behaviors. These traits are stable over time, offering a reliable framework for predicting how people might act in different contexts. However, they do not define every moment of an individual's life. In contrast to traits,...

X-linked Traits01:19

X-linked Traits

58.8K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.

Trait Centrality01:21

Trait Centrality

199
Trait centrality refers to the degree to which a particular characteristic influences the overall impression of an individual. Some traits exert a disproportionately strong impact on perception, shaping how people interpret other attributes of a person. Solomon Asch first systematically studied this phenomenon in 1946.Asch’s Experiment on Trait CentralityAsch's seminal study demonstrated the centrality of certain traits through a controlled experiment. Participants were presented with a...

Summary

Individual differences in vertical gaze patterns during scene viewing are linked to attention-deficit disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and dyslexia. These scan patterns show potential as diagnostic tools for these clinical traits.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Gaze control during scene perception is under-researched regarding individual differences.
  • Previous work linked cognitive capacity to scene viewing scan patterns.
  • This study investigates clinical traits' association with gaze control in scene perception.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the relationship between individual differences in clinical traits and scene viewing behavior.
  • To explore associations between attention-deficit disorder, autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia scores, and scan patterns.
  • To assess the diagnostic potential of scene scan patterns.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Successor Representation Scanpath Analysis (SRSA) on a normative sample.
  • Quantified associations between scan patterns during real-world scene viewing and clinical trait scores.
  • Examined individual differences in attention-deficit disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and dyslexia.

Main Results:

  • Vertical scan patterns significantly explained variance in clinical trait scores.
  • Over 50% of variance in attention-deficit scores was linked to vertical scanning.
  • A third of autism quotient variance and a quarter of dyslexia variance were associated with vertical scan patterns.

Conclusions:

  • Individual differences in vertical scanning behaviors are strongly associated with attention-deficit disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and dyslexia.
  • Scene scan patterns, particularly vertical ones, show promise as potential diagnostic indicators.
  • Findings offer insights into diagnostic vertical scan patterns for clinical traits.
