Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

42
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...

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory01:20

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

724
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Intelligence01:27

Intelligence

8.1K
The term "intelligence" is complex because it refers to both behavior and individuals, and its interpretation varies across cultures. European Americans tend to link intelligence with reasoning and cognitive skills, while in Kenya, it is tied to responsible participation in family and social life. In Uganda, intelligence is seen as the ability to know the right actions and carry them out effectively, while the Iatmul people of Papua New Guinea associate it with the capacity to remember...

Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

7.9K
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification03:00

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.5K
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...

Multiple Intelligences Theory01:20

Multiple Intelligences Theory

8.4K
Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligence proposes that there are nine distinct types of intelligence, each reflecting different ways of interacting with the world. Introduced in 1983 and expanded in subsequent years, Gardner's framework challenges the traditional notion of a single, generalized intelligence.

Area of Science:

  • Evaluation Studies
  • Educational Psychology
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Effective evaluator education requires mastering evaluation models and complex problem-solving skills.
  • Professional associations like the American and Australian Evaluation Associations have outlined evaluator competencies.
  • A universally accepted core curriculum for evaluation training remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore evaluator competencies through the lens of cognitive complexity.
  • To distinguish between 'knowing that' (declarative knowledge) and 'knowing how' (procedural knowledge) in evaluation tasks.
  • To propose a framework for understanding learning models in evaluator education.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a cognitive complexity model to analyze evaluator tasks and thinking.
  • Coded the Australian 'Evaluators Professional Learning Competencies' based on cognitive complexity levels.
  • Categorized competencies into 'knowing that' (surface-level) and 'knowing how' (deeper-level) thinking.

Main Results:

  • A significant majority (two-thirds) of competencies were classified as 'knowing that' or surface thinking.
  • One-third of the competencies were identified as 'knowing how' or deeper thinking.
  • This highlights an imbalance in the current focus of professional learning.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive complexity offers a valuable framework for understanding and structuring evaluator education.
  • A taxonomy is proposed to guide the development of learning models for evaluator training.
  • Further development of professional evaluator competencies should emphasize deeper, 'knowing how' aspects.
