Critically evaluate two personality inventories. Develop an empirical examination theoretical foundation for each inventory.

/in /by

 

There are several personality inventories. Some examples are the   Predictive Index, Myers-Briggs, and the Kiersey Termperament Sorter.   (Note: this is not a comprehensive list.) Understanding the value of   these measures for screening and assessment in hiring decisions is of   the upmost importance. For this assignment, you will analyze two   personality inventories used in human resources and   industrial/organizational psychology. The analysis will include:   title, author and publisher, theoretical foundation of the test; a   description of each test content, purpose, structure, administration,   and scoring guidelines; an evaluation of the reliability and validity   of each test; a critique of the strengths and weaknesses of using each   test in an applied setting; and an analysis of the multicultural   application of each test. Frame your answer from a theoretical   perspective. Lastly, determine the impact personality assessment has   for the individual and group to improve organizational performance.

NEED SOMEONE WITH SCIENCE? PSYCHOLOGY/ RESEARCH BACKGROUND

In the context of research design, two types of validity, which speak to the quality of different features of the research process, are considered: internal validity and external validity. Assuming that the findings of a research study are internally valid—i.e., the researcher has used controls to determine that the outcome is indeed due to manipulation of the independent variable or the treatment—external validity refers to the extent to which the findings can be generalized from the sample to the population or to other settings and groups. Reliability refers to the replicability of the findings.

For this Discussion, you will consider threats to internal and external validity in quantitative research and the strategies used to mitigate these threats. You will also consider the ethical implications of designing quantitative research.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post an explanation of a threat to internal validity and a threat to external validity in quantitative research. Next, explain a strategy to mitigate each of these threats. Then, identify a potential ethical issue in quantitative research and explain how it might influence design decisions. Finally, explain what it means for a research topic to be amenable to scientific study using a quantitative approach.

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

Annotated Note Taking

Annotated note taking is a very useful strategy for learning new concepts. Annotated note taking is a more active form of learning than simply reading and highlighting. It also adds a more personalized element to learning by allowing a person to monitor his or her comprehension. Annotated notes are also helpful for quick review at some later point in time.

The concepts and techniques you are learning in this course are fundamental building blocks upon which a solid career as an industrial/organizational (I/O) professional can be developed. For this assignment, you will write detailed notes that should help you cement these concepts during this initial learning stage and provide a very useful resource for you to draw upon throughout your program of study and beyond graduation too.

 

The eight concepts for your annotated note-taking assignment are:

 

  • The scientific method
  • A research question
  • Hypothesis statements
  • Validity
  • Reliability
  • Sample
  • Qualitative research
  • Quantitative research

Tasks:

  • You are to write notes for each concept that explain its meaning, its use, and any other relevant information you believe to be fundamentally important to that concept. If you have any uncertainty related to a concept, you should include that in your notes. You are not allowed to use direct quotations for this assignment. You must paraphrase or, in other words, use your own words to describe and explain the concepts. This contributes to deeper learning and more meaningful notes for your later use.
  • You are to define each concept and provide at least two important items of relevant information associated with each concept.
  • Organize your notes by using each concept as a heading. Then, write a paragraph or two for each concept.

After reviewing this week’s readings I decided that the human growth and developmental theory I would like to discuss will be on Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Developmental Theory. The reason I choose Erikson’s because he proposed a stage theory of development, but his theory encompassed human growth throughout the entire lifespan. Erikson’s theory was an extension of Sigmund Freud’s theories that highlighted the essential role played by early childhood experiences (Wong et al., 2015). Unlike Freud, who focused on early childhood with an emphasis on biological instinctual urges as key to human development, Erik Erikson presented a model emphasizing the challenges and tasks presented across one’s lifespan as key to understanding human development (Wong et al., 2015).

Erikson theory helped individuals understand how important it is for one to be successful at having healthy development as they go through each stage of life. Erikson’s theory also helped coin the term “crisis” (Wong et al., 2015). Erikson felt that these psychosocial crises were based on physiological development interacting with the demands put on he indivdiual by parents and society (Wong et al., 2015). For example, during the Identity vs. Role Confusion stage, it is important for the adolescent (12-18) to understand themselves and how they fit into the surrounding world (Wong et al., 2015).  If an individual does not understand one’s self then the next stage is Intimacy vs Isolation and it will be very difficult for them to develop meaningful relationships over the lifespan. Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory supports the idea that having success or failure in dealing with the conflicts at each stage can impact the overall development of a human.

The article Defining Spiritual Development: A Missing Consideration for Student Affairs by Patrick Love and Donna Talbot provided some very insightful conclusions about spirituality and spiritual development. After reviewing the article, proposition five really stood out to me which is, “Spiritual development involves an increasing openness to exploring a relationship with an intangible and pervasive power or essence that exists beyond human existence and rational human knowing (Love & Talbot, 2009). This means that human existence is deeper than what we see in our everyday world and this is where religion and spirituality come into play. Related to transcendence, as one develops spirituality there is a growing recognition of a spirit or force larger than oneself; a force accessible only through faith, hope, love, and other nonrational aspects of human experience (Love & Talbot, 2009).

In the article Emotional Intelligence and Spiritual Development (2004) it states that “Self-regulation, which is seen as fundamentally emotion regulation, is the essence of spiritual development. Emotional communication whether with one’s parents or the object of one’s devotions in prayer is the fundamental manner in which one mind connects with another” (Emotional Intelligence and Spiritual Development, 2004). Emotional development and spiritual development have major influences on the development of a human being. The human development is very complex and there is a lot of theorists that have made great arguments that support the evidence that has been found, although Erik Erikson’s developmental theory was very detailed to help understand lifespan. The proposition found in the article Defining Spiritual Development: A Missing Consideration for Student Affairs does help support that emotional development is key to one having a healthy emotional development over a lifespan.

One of the first and formative cognitive theories developed in the 1920’s by Jean Piaget is shaped by the idea that there are 4 clearly defined stages of childhood cognitive development. Each of these stages gives the child a way to perceive the world and to be able to construct meaning according to their developing ability in that particular stage of childhood. Piaget also believed that these stages were based on physical maturation and that the child’s environment could be instrumental in the rate of progress but didn’t vary from child to child and each stage was experienced by all children (Wong & Hall & Justice & Hernandez, 2015). The first stage is from birth to 18-24 months and is called sensorimotor because of the emphasis of the sensory skills as the way the infant starts to experience the world. The second stage is called the preoperational stage and occurs between the ages of 2-7. During this stage, the child is egocentric and begins to experience the world through his own perceptions. The third stage, called concrete, is when the child can observe concrete problems and objects and understand his environment through that lens. The fourth and final stage comes after the age of 11 when the child begins to think in more abstract terms. It is during this time that they can logically think about ideas that are abstract such as the future (Wong et. al, 2015).

Piaget was a biologist and he gathered information by observing children. Though his theory has not held up to the test of time, it has been significant to our understanding of human growth and development because it was the first time that children had been studied to show that children think differently than adults (Granello & Young, 2019). He is also credited, “with discovering that thoughts, not just experience, contribute to human development” (Wong et. al, 2015).

Piaget’s theory, based on physical and psychological development, overlooked the element of spiritual development. Spiritual development teaches us how we derive meaning, purpose and direction in life (Love & Talbot, 1999). When we overlook this critical aspect of development, it “may temporize and appear to be not occurring at all or even regressing” (Love & Talbot, 1999). In recent years, spiritual development has been brought back into the counseling arena as practitioners have recognized that it is important to the general well-being of people (Cashwell, 2017).
