Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

325
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-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...

Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory

11.4K
Self-Determination Theory (SDT), formulated by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, explains that human motivation is driven by three fundamental psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, individuals experience personal growth, intrinsic motivation, and overall well-being.
Autonomy is the need to feel in control of one's actions and decisions. For example, a student who chooses their research topic is likely to be more engaged and motivated than one who...

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).

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...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

12.7K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Education

Background:

  • Growing focus on self-determination in French-speaking regions.
  • Need for a validated instrument to measure self-determination in French-speaking youth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the technical adequacy of the Self-Determination Inventory: Student Report (SDI:SR) French Translation.
  • To examine the reliability and validity of the French version of the SDI:SR.

Main Methods:

  • Pilot study involving 471 French-speaking youth (with and without disabilities) from Canada, Switzerland, France, and Belgium.
  • Utilized 20 out of 21 items to represent the self-determination construct.
  • Analyzed item functioning across student groups.

Main Results:

  • Feasible use of 20 items to measure self-determination in the French-speaking sample.
  • Items functioned similarly for students with and without disabilities.
  • Students with disabilities descriptively scored lower on self-determination.

Conclusions:

  • Promising evidence for the reliability and validity of the SDI:SR French Translation.
  • Ongoing development and larger-scale testing are warranted.
  • The instrument is a valuable tool for assessing self-determination in French-speaking youth.
