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
11. What are the key features of the Extraversion factor from the five-factor model?
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?
