Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

360
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.

Traits and States01:17

Traits and States

250
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,...

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...

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...

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Genetics

Background:

  • College students exhibit high rates of risky substance use.
  • Current prevention strategies often overlook genetically influenced risk factors.
  • Personalized Feedback Programs (PFP) offer a novel approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an online Personalized Feedback Program (PFP) for college students.
  • To target genetically influenced risk pathways for substance use (externalizing and internalizing).
  • To assess student engagement and intentions regarding substance use and campus resources.

Main Methods:

  • An open trial involving 300 college students was conducted.
  • Participants received personalized feedback on sensation seeking, impulsivity, extraversion, and neuroticism.
  • The study assessed initial responses, future substance use intentions, and campus resource use intentions.

Main Results:

  • 81% of students reported enjoying the PFP.
  • Participants showed increased intentions to use campus resources.
  • Significant percentages intended to decrease alcohol consumption (39%) and reduce drunkenness (41%).

Conclusions:

  • The PFP demonstrates potential as a complementary tool for college substance use prevention.
  • Personalized feedback may enhance engagement with prevention strategies.
  • Addressing genetic risk factors could improve intervention effectiveness.
