Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

455
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.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence01:17

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

368
Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.3K
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...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.2K
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.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

40.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Self-regulation is crucial across disciplines, but its domains are often studied in isolation.
  • Existing measures do not capture the entirety of the self-regulatory system.
  • A comprehensive understanding of self-regulation is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To confirm the factor structure of six proposed self-regulation domains.
  • To psychometrically validate a new quantitative measure of self-regulation.
  • To examine a comprehensive profile of self-regulation.

Main Methods:

  • Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) was used to analyze data.
  • A six-pillar, 12-facet model of self-regulation was tested.
  • Psychometric validation involved two cross-sectional studies and external validation.

Main Results:

  • ESEM confirmed the proposed six-pillar, 12-facet structure of self-regulation.
  • The measure demonstrated psychometric validity and reliability.
  • The self-regulation profile measure was externally validated against related constructs.

Conclusions:

  • The validated six-pillar, 12-facet model provides a comprehensive measure of self-regulation.
  • This tool can be used to examine individual self-regulation profiles.
  • Findings have implications for both clinical practice and future research in self-regulation.
