Surveys

16.6K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

224
Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Self-Esteem and Culture01:26

Self-Esteem and Culture

205
Self-esteem, a core psychological construct, is intricately shaped by cultural context and varies significantly between collectivist and individualistic societies. In collectivist cultures such as Japan, self-esteem tends to be flexible, context-sensitive, and influenced by relationships. A Japanese student, for instance, may show restraint in formal settings like school but behave more openly among close friends, reflecting the flexible and dynamic nature of self-concept in such...

Self-Report Tests of Personality

777
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.

Attitudes

32.7K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Self-Serving Bias01:29

Self-Serving Bias

214
Self-serving bias is a cognitive phenomenon in which individuals attribute positive outcomes to internal factors such as their abilities, intelligence, or effort while attributing negative outcomes to external circumstances. This cognitive distortion helps maintain self-esteem but can also impede objective self-assessment.Theoretical Explanations of Self-Serving BiasTwo primary theories explain the self-serving bias: the cognitive explanation and the motivational explanation.The cognitive...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychopathology
  • Cultural Psychology

Background:

  • Maladaptive risk attitudes (extreme risk seeking/aversion) correlate with psychopathology like psychopathy and anxiety.
  • Culturally appropriate risk attitude assessments are crucial for psychological research in diverse populations.
  • Understanding risk attitudes is vital for mental health research and interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Multi-Domain Risk Tolerance (MDRT) scale.
  • To provide a culturally adapted measure for assessing risk attitudes in the multi-ethnic Singaporean population.
  • To ensure the scale's reliability and validity for psychological and psychopathological research.

Main Methods:

  • Item generation involved interviews with Singaporean adults.
  • Scale candidate items were tested and selected through a survey (N=882).
  • Longitudinal validation (N=1003) assessed structural validity, criterion validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability.

Main Results:

  • The MDRT scale demonstrated satisfactory structural validity and criterion validity.
  • Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were confirmed.
  • Scalar measurement invariance was observed across genders and age groups.

Conclusions:

  • The validated MDRT scale is suitable for assessing risk attitudes in Singapore's multi-ethnic population.
  • Cultural adaptation of risk attitude measures is essential for accurate psychological research.
  • The MDRT scale contributes to improved assessment and understanding of risk attitudes across diverse groups.
