7. What are process models?

  • They consider the nature of individual differences asking questions such as "why" do individuals differ?
  • They consider the nature of individual differences, asking questions such as "how" do individuals differ?
  • They consider the question of "why", "where" and "when" do people differ and give depth to understanding the "how"
  • They consider the question of "how", "where" and "when" do people differ, and give depth to understanding the "why"

8. What are the three things which support the five factor model?

  • The lexical approach, factor analysis evidence and the bottom-up approach
  • Lab evidence, Questionnaires and self-report data
  • The verbal approach, ANOVA evidence and the top-down approach
  • Observational evidence, historical evidence and interview data

9. What do the personal dispositions consist of in Allport's approach?

  • Positive traits, negative traits, secondary traits and the proprium
  • Cardinal traits, central traits, secondary traits and the proprium
  • Cardinal traits, central traits, nomothetic traits, idiothetic traits
  • Positive traits, negative traits, nomothetic traits, idiothetic traits

10. What is Child's (1968) definition of personality?

  • The non-central traits which are used to describe a person
  • The more or less stable, internal factors that make one person's behaviour consistent from one time to another, and different from the behaviour other people would manifest in comparable situations"
  • The defining characteristics which can be used to describe a person
  • The changing external factors that influences a group of peoples behaviours over time depending on the situation

12. How is Cattell's approach comprehensive?

  • There was lots of support for various hypotheses based on his basic concepts
  • That data was not criticised for ambiguities and subjectivity
  • Wide range of diverse phenomena (normal and abnormal), recognised the complexity of personality, accounts for biological and sociocultural influences, utilises measurement procedures commensurate with the task of assessing complex behaviour
  • The data was not difficult to replicate

13. According to Eysenck what is the relationship between extroverts and extraversion?

  • For extraverts, excitation is weak and builds up slowly, inhibition is also weak and is slowly to build up and slow to dissipate
  • For extraverts, they have a medium levels of Central Nervous System arousal and find incoming stimuli equally arousing compared to introverts
  • For extraverts, excitation is weak and builds up slowly, inhibition is strong, fast to build up and dissipates slowly.
  • For extraverts, they have a higher level of Central Nervous System arousal and find incoming stimuli more arousing compared to introverts

14. How did Cattell's approach have testable concepts?

  • They took great concern when it came to precise measurement's and prediction. They refined their concepts through sophisticated and elaborate factor analysis procedures
  • There was lots of support for various hypotheses based on his basic concepts
  • That data was not criticised for ambiguities and subjectivity
  • The data was not difficult to replicate

15. Who came up with the Lexical Hypothesis?

  • Wundt
  • Galton
  • Sheldon
  • Kant

16. How does Eysenck's theory good at parismony?

  • It is a low-factor theory so is easier to replicate than Cattell's high-factor theory
  • There is not less support for the psychotic type
  • It is a high-factor theory so is easier to replicate than Cattell's low-factor theory
  • There are not too few concepts to describe personality functioning

17. How did Cattell's approach not have parsimony?

  • The data was difficult to replicate
  • His ideas not not have any influence on occupational psychology
  • His data was overly simplistic
  • He failed to define the role of normal and abnormal behaviours

18. What does it mean if a person has a Cerebrotonia temperament in Sheldon's theory of physique and temperament?

  • They are distant from others, vocal in their opinions and like moderate activity
  • They are physically assertive, competitive and keen on physical activity
  • They have a need for privacy, are restrained and inhibited
  • They are associated with a love of relaxation and comfort, like food and are sociable

19. What was Eysenck mindful of when using secondary factor analysis?

  • The lack of validity
  • The potential limitations of the technique
  • The lack of reliability
  • The lack of generalisation

20. How many Synonyms (a word with the same meaning) are there for the word warm?
