2	Biologické teorie temperamentu / Biological theories of temperament Řežábková, Marika January 2019 (has links) The master thesis deals with theories of temperament from the perspective of their linkages with biological essence of man. In theoretical chapters, it is examined how research of temperament has evolved over time, and there are presented the most important biology- oriented theories, ranging from classical antique temperaments, to Pavlov's differentiation of personalities according the reactivity of nervous system, and finally to Eysenck's, Gray's and Cloninger's modern theories of temperament. Empirical research is dedicated to the testing of interdependencies between temperamental questionnaires. 4Elements Inventory test based on an element approach theory and Cloninger's TCI-R test representing biological approach in temperament observation were analyzed on a research sample, and correlation and regression analysis was performed. If we have to assign the most similar dimensions of both tests to each other according to content analysis, we would expect relationships between the Harm Avoidance and Fire (negative), Novelty Seeking and Air, Reward Dependency and Water and Persistence and Earth. The relationship of Novelty seeking and Air (r = 0.73) and negative relationship of Harm Avoidance and Fire (r = -0.74) were confirmed as the strongest relationships. The correlation between Reward...
3	The relationship between temperament, character and executive functioning Dennison, Lisa Kim 23 August 2013 (has links) Despite emergent attempts to connect temperament to a neurobiological etiology there has been little research that focuses on the relationship between temperament and character and neuropsychological test performance. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the relationship between temperament, character and performance on neuropsychological tests of executive functioning. Temperament and character dimensions were operationalized according to the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), a 240-item measure that is based on the psychobiological theory of personality. Neuropsychological performance was measured on the University of Pennsylvania Computerized Neuropsychological Test Battery (PennCNP), which is a test of executive functioning and abstract reasoning. The PennCNP comprised a test of Motor Praxis (MPRAXIS), the Penn Abstraction, Inhibition and Working Memory Task (AIM), the Letter-N-Back (LNB2), the Penn Conditional Exclusion Task (PCET), the Penn Short Logical Reasoning Task (SPVRT) and the Short Raven’s Progressive Matrices (SRAVEN). The sample comprised 422 first year psychology students at a residential university in South Africa. The results from this explorative study showed a moderate relationship between temperament, character and executive functioning. The temperament dimensions Novelty Seeking and Reward Dependence were positively related to AIM-NM, AIM and SPVRT, and inversely related to MPRAXIS. These results validate the importance of research that investigates the relationship between temperament and character dimensions and neuropsychological performance. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Psychology / unrestricted Character Executive functioning Temperament Psychobiological theory Personality Neuropsychological performance Neuropsychology Neurobiology Cloninger UCTD
4	Självtranscendens : upplevelse, utveckling och psykologiska förändringar / Selftranscendence : experience, development and psychological changes Friman, Henrik January 2014 (has links) Psykologiska processer där identifikationen med jaget och medvetandets innehåll upphör kan tänkas utgöra en hälsosam motvikt i dagens samhällskultur där centrering kring jaget, stress, depression och meningsförlust, ofta förekommer. Självtranscendens har beskrivits som en expansion av medvetandet och en rörelse bortom gränserna för ens självmedvetenhet och självuppfattning, antingen tillfälligtvis eller som en relativt stabil perspektivförändring som utvecklats under livsloppet. Sex personer mellan 54 och 100 år med erfarenhet av självtranscendenta perspektiv intervjuades i studien i syfte att induktivt generera mer kunskap om hur självtranscendens kunde upplevas, utvecklas och förändra en människas perspektiv. Genom en tematisk analys framkom att en regelbunden aktivering av självtranscendenta medvetandetillstånd särskilt inverkade på utvecklingen och kopplades till principer om neuroplasticitet. Självtranscendensutvecklingen medförde även förändringar i respondenternas perception av inre och yttre fenomen exempelvis vad gäller känslighet, jagupplevelse och möjlighet till distans och objektivitet, vilket även bidrog till psykologisk hälsa. självtranscendens utveckling upplevelse psykologiska förändringar neuroplasticitet jaget peakupplevelse höjdpunktsupplevelse flow platå-upplevelse gerotranscendens transcendens meditation mindfulness ACT yoga självupplevelse personlighetsdrag Maslow Tornstam Cloninger Reed kvalitativ studie tematisk analys buddhism humanistisk psykologi transpersonell psykologi Wilber Wade självförverkligande psykologisk utveckling utvecklingspsykologi självförverkligande motivation drivkraft perception förändringar i perception känslighet objektivitet distans decentrering jagupplevelse självbild självmedvetenhet Psychology Psykologi
