THE STRUCTURE OF PERSONALITY

Personality structure: Definition of personality Cattel: What tells us what a person does when he is in a certain situation: The nature and magnitude of a person's response or behavior is the function of S, a stimulating situation in which she or she is, and P or nature of their personality. Basic unit of analysis: the trace The characteristic is the basic structural element of Catell's theory. Defined as a relatively permanent and broad tendency to react in a certain way. It assumes a certain regularity of behavior over time and situations. Rating based on your content: Aptitudeinais traits: a pattern of resources available for the subject, to solve the problems posed by the situation. Temperamenttraits: What the individual does and how he does it. Usually, when it comes to traits, they're being alluded to. Dynamic traits: are at the motivational basis of behavior; because the guy does what he does. Classification according to other dimensions: Commonality: the degree to which each characteristic is applicable to the majority of the population or only to a subject. Source: Conditions that determine the behavior pattern, which defines the stroke. They can be: constitutions: when it is presumed to be associated with the conditions in the body. environmental conditions: when assumed to be associated with external conditions. Meaning: Based on the weight and meaning of each trait in the personality structure, the following are distinguished: Superficial: the trait translates the presence of behaviors that usually appear together on several occasions, although not always covate. They indicate that there are regularities in the behavior.

Causes: they are defined by the focal lights that exist between the behaviors that constitute the superficial trace. They are responsible for the regularities of the behavior. Personality research will be interested only in causal, temperamental and dynamic. Univariate and multivariate methodology The univariate approach focuses on the study of the effect that the manipulation of a variable by the experimenter has on behavior. The multivariate states that relationships can be extracted from the behavior of man in his true life situation, without the need to introduce a control situation, or manipulate variables. This approach uses techniques such as multiple correlation, factor analysis, etc... Factor Analysis The statistical procedure for identifying the existing covariate focuses on a set of elements. A covariate or factor focus is defined by those sample elements that have the highest interrelationship. Example: if we are interested in the study of determinants of academic performance, correlation analysis (essence of PA) can give us information about variables more closely related to academic performance. Information that will allow us to rid ourselves of variables that have nothing to do with performance and focus on the factors that are directly involved. In addition to this exploratory-descriptive function, it has been suggested as a procedure to verify hypotheses.

Projects with factor analysis Technique R: usual form of factor analysis. The variables are divided into factors that allow behavioral with functional relationship to be analyzed. Technique P: The subject cuts a series of tests repeatedly for a while. (Very interesting in the clinic) Technique Q: Tests become subjects and subjects in tests. It allows analyzing the relationships between subjects in the presence of certain tests. Technique S: They correlate and break into factors, people's responses on various occasions. It can be used to analyze social interaction.

Data sources The behavior can be observed and recorded using three types of data: Data L: based on real-life ratings. reflect behavior in everyday situations. its main objective: objective behaviors For example: number of accidents at work occurring in a period of time. Q Qdata: based on questionnaires that give information about yourself are highly exposed data to distortion: deliberate distortion (in the case of staff selection, for example) social desire Acquiescence (tendency to agree with the elements) Data T: based on objective evidence in which the subject is hidden from his purpose for example: blood tests, writing pressure, etc.

Research on the structure of Personality Focused on the discovery and analysis of the fundamental (causal) traits that define the structure of the personality. The L, Q and T data are used based on the idea that the three data types would identify the same structural elements of the personality. Data-based analysis L: On the assumption that all behaviors relevant to personality understanding are expressed in language, the research focused on analyzing descriptive terms of these behaviors relevant to personality. Factor analysis revealed the presence of 12 factors. Other studies found 15, understanding that, in any case, they represented relevant behavior in humans sufficiently. Data-based analysis q: It's about finding out if you have the same factors with survey data.

T data-based analysis: Objective tests were developed to measure the traces already discovered, applying them to large specimens of subjects.

Attitudes Definition: these are the basic units of motivational analysis. They are defined as the force of interest in following a certain course of action. It would be an extension of the E-O model. Stimulus-Agency-Response( R). Measure attitude It can be measured through different indices: physiology activity, accumulation of information about the highest susceptibility to accept facts consistent with attitude, etc. Attitude components: There are 5: Alpha or component "it": This "it" is aware. It encompasses manifestations that express a "desire" or "want" without the limitations of the outside world. Beta component or "I": this is conscious and integrated interest. It's the Freudian self. Gamma or component of the "superion": it is identified with the Freudian superion. It covers expressions like "I'd like to be interested..." Delta or expression of physiological needs: Saturate in it, blood pressure, RPG and speed in decision making. The shudder that runs through the spine when you hear certain music. It could be the unconscious "he." Ethylene or repressed complexes: unconscious conflict factor derived from previous fixations and experiences. Second-order factors: Integrated component of interest: beta (I) and gamma (super-io) are saturated in this factor. He's largely conscious. Component of non-integrated interest: saturate in this factor Alpha (it), delta (physiological reactions) and epsilon (repressed complexes). He's largely unconscious.

Types of attitudes: mistakes and feelings Ergio: innate tendency to react specifically to certain objectives, although it may be affected by the socialization process. They are: sex, fear of security, self-affirmation, gregarious, exploitation, protection, construction, bellicoseness, narcissism. Feelings: reflect attitudinal patterns determined by the environment, that is, learned. Its origin would be in the family, or in the school. They are: Religious, professional, sporting feeling, etc. There are three tests for the study of dynamic processes: Motivation Analysis Test, Teen Version and Kids Version. The dynamic fabric Such a structure connects or relates the ergios, attitudes and feelings: we do A to obtain B to achieve the satisfaction of C. Partial satisfactions can be called subsidiary or intermediate goals or midsize activities. The final or final objectives are the ergios. Specification equation It is the relationships between the determining elements of behavior, which the subject develops in a specific situation and a given temporal moment. It is understood that the behavior is determined by all those defining elements of the individual, which are the structural and dynamic traits, along with the situation in which the behavior occurs. Transient states: In addition to the more or less stable trait, there is the mood that fluctuates as often as the occasions. To measure a person's characteristic, you have to do it several times and take the average. Catell proposes mood models defined by people and occasions. 8 states were identified: Anxiety Depression Activation Fatigue Fault

Depression Regression Tension Importance of the role: the same stimulus is perceived differently by the same person, depending on their role in this situation. As in other structural personality theories, more emphasis is given to personal variables than to the influence of the situation. Summary Multivariate Analysis shows a structure of fundamental characteristics using common and unique factors, which are at different levels of analysis. These characteristic structures can be recognized both at different ages and in different cultures. Characteristic structures are obtained from the three data types: L, Q and T It is necessary to include in this quantization the transient variables obtained with the DR and P technique. The specification equation allows a quantitative contrast of the action of the traits, using weighted factor scores. All traits are based in part on genetics, partly by the environment. Factor analysis extracts structures that have been recognized as eeriums (impulses) and feelings (patterns learned)...
