Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

742
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.

Bullying02:04

Bullying

8.8K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.7K
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.

Deindividuation

30.2K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

452
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

262
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Criminology
  • Child Development

Background:

  • Polyvictimization, experiencing multiple victimization types, lacks consistent definitions and measures.
  • Inconsistent measurement hinders scientific impact in child polyvictimization research.
  • A reevaluation of polyvictimization assessment is necessary due to its complex nature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate the Polyvictimization Invasiveness and Exploitativeness Scale (PIES).
  • To test the 3-D polyvictimization theory's hypothesis on invasiveness and exploitativeness.
  • To provide a reliable and valid measure for assessing polyvictimization in adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Translation and expert review of an English scale for face validity.
  • Testing the scale's reliability and validity in two adolescent groups in Eastern China (N=956).
  • Utilizing internal consistency, EFA, CFA, and convergent, divergent, and predictive validity analyses.

Main Results:

  • The PIES demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.95, McDonald's Omega=0.97).
  • Factor analyses confirmed a robust ten-item, two-dimensional scale with excellent model fit.
  • The scale showed strong correlations with existing polyvictimization measures and predicted depression, indicating strong validity.

Conclusions:

  • The PIES exhibits strong psychometric properties for assessing polyvictimization.
  • This scale is valuable for intervention studies and research focusing on polyvictimization.
  • PIES offers a reliable tool for understanding the multifaceted nature of child polyvictimization.
