The alignment of mind style with four categories of registration in South African psychologyReinecke, Charlene Rene 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores the possible alignment between mind style and four specialization categories
within the profession of psychology. The Mind Style model of Anthony F. Gregorc, serving as a
key to better understand an individuals' constitution, constitutes the theoretical underpinning of
the investigation. The model divides specific perceptual and ordering qualities into four
mediation channels or mind styles: Concrete Sequential (CS), Abstract Sequential (AS), Abstract
Random (AR), and Concrete Random (CR).
The Gregorc Style Delineator, an instrument measuring the perceptual qualities of
concreteness and abstractness, and the ordering qualities of sequentialness and randomness, was
administered to 68 students registered for the Clinical, Counselling, Educational, and Industrial
Psychology masters study programmes at the University of Stellenbosch.
The primary research objectives included determining the mind styles of the four
specialization groups, and ascertaining whether the four groups displayed distinguishing
dominant mind style preferences. Secondary research objectives explored the relationships
between and interactions with the words of the Gregorc Style Delineator and the four
specialization groups. The reasons of the four groups for studying their chosen specialization
fields were also noted. The data was analysed using the SPSS.
Findings revealed no significant differences between the mind styles of the four groups.
The Abstract Random mind style was found to be the dominant mind style for all four of the
specialization groups. The secondary research objectives similarly found no significant evidence
in support of clear descriptive delineations between the four specialization groups. Regarding
mind style, a perceptual-ordering aspect of personality, it would thus appear that psychologistsin-
training, and therefore psychologists, are undifferentiated. On the whole the results of this
study indicate that psychologists in various registration categories are more similar than different.
Recommendations were made for further study and research. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie stelondersoek in na die moontlike verwantskap tussen verstandstyl en vier
spesialiseringskategorieë binne die sielkunde professie. Die 'Mind Style' model van Anthony F.
Gregorc, wat dien as 'n sleutel na 'n betere insig betreffende 'n persoon se samestelling, vorm die
teoretiese onderstutting van die ondersoek. Die model verdeel bepaalde perseptuele- en
ordeningskwaliteite in vier bemiddelingskanale of verst and style: Konkreet-Opeenvolgend (CS),
Abstrak-Opeenvolgend (AS), Abstrak-Lukraak (AR), en Konkreet-Lukraak (CR).
Die Gregorc Style Delineator, 'n instrument wat konkrete en abstrakte perseptuele
eienskappe, en opeenvolgende en lukrake ordeningseienskappe meet, is toegepas op 68 studente
wat geregistreer was in die Kliniese, Voorligting, Opvoedkundige, en Industriële Sielkunde
meesters studieprogramme aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch.
Primêre navorsingsdoelstellings het die vasstelling van die verstandstyle vir die vier
groepe ingesluit, asook die bepaling van moontlike onderskeidende dominante verstandstyl
voorkeure vir elke groep. Sekondêre navorsingsdoelstellings het die verhoudings en interaksies
van die woorde van die Gregorc Style Delineator met die vier spesialiseringsgroepe ondersoek.
Die steekproef se redes vir die studie van hul gekose spesialiseringsvelde is ook genoteer. Dataanalise
is gedoen met behulp van die SPPS.
Bevindings het geen beduidende verskille tussen die verstandstyle van die vier groepe
aangedui nie. Die Abstrak-Lukraak verstandstyl was geidentifiseer as die dominante verst andstyI
vir al vier spesialiseringsgroepe. Die sekondêre navorsingsdoelstellings het eweneens geen
beduidende bewys bevind ter ondersteuning van 'n duidelik omskrywende deliniasie tussen die
vier spesialiseringsgroepe nie. Ten opsigte van verstandstyl, 'n perseptueel-ordenings aspek van
persoonlikheid, wil dit dus voorkom of sielkundiges-in-opleiding, en dus sielkundiges,
ongedifferensieerd is betreffende verstandstyl. In die geheel dui die resultate van die huidige
studie aan dat sielkundiges van verskeie registrasiekategorieë meer eenders as verskillend is.
Aanbevelings is gemaak ten opsigte van verdere studie en navorsing.

DIAGNOSIS OF DSM-III PERSONALITY DISORDERS THROUGH THE USE OF THREE SELF-REPORT INVENTORIES.DUBRO, ALAN FRAZIER. January 1986 (has links)
Publication of DSM-III led to increased recognition and diagnosis of personality disorders by assigning them to a separate axis. Self-report inventories have recently been constructed to reflect these changes in psychiatric nosology. This study compared the diagnostic efficiency of three tests: MMPI personality disorder scales (MMPI PD scales), Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), and the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire (PDQ). Subjects were nonpsychotic psychiatric patients (n = 37), and medical control patients (n = 20). Subjects were given a clinical interview to diagnose any and all DSM-III personality disorders, and were then administered the three self-report inventories. Results indicate that the tests were extremely accurate at identifying the presence of any personality disorder, clusters of personality disorders, and specific personality disorders. Using the tests in combination further increased their efficiency. Implications for using cost-effective self-report tests in lieu of labor-intensive structured interviews are discussed.

Use of the Bell Adjustment Inventory as a counseling tool at FSUUnknown Date (has links)
"This study is designed to determine if the Bell Adjustment Inventory is a more accurate device than the Minnesota Personality Scale for measuring adjustment of college freshmen. If the Bell Inventory correlates more highly than the Minnesota Personality Scale with a majority of the scales of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, it would indicate that the Bell Inventory measures poor adjustment resulting from personality problems as measured by the MMPI more accurately than does the Minnesota Personality Scale"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1955." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 18).

Three theories of psychological measurement in the assessment of subjective control in gambling behaviourKyngdon, Andrew Stuart, University of Western Sydney, School of Psychology January 2002 (has links)
The aim of this study was to argue for a new conception of subjective control and then to devise psychometric scales to test this new conception in the area of gambling behaviour. The 'Subjective Control'scales were constructed using Michell's (1994a, 1998) theory of the ordinal determinable. After extensive pilot testing, these scales were administered to a participant sample consisting of 57 students, 104 in situ club EGM players and 49 self-referred problem gamblers. The data collected consisted of paired comparisons judgements, ratings and rank orders. The limitations of the findings were discussed and suggestions for future research were made. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Personal action constructs and the long term care ombudsman role : linking personal projects and possible selves in personal researchBolkan, Cory R. 22 August 2002 (has links)
This study explored potential linkages between personal projects (Little,
1983) and possible selves (Markus, 1986), two mid-level units of analyses in
personality research. The primary goal of this research was to bridge participants'
current project as state volunteer ombudsmen for care facilities, to their future,
hoped-for selves. This relationship was examined under the framework of
Developmental Systems Theory (Ford & Lerner, 1992) using multiple linear
regression and correlational analyses. It was theorized that participants' personal
project ratings on the volunteer role should be related and congruent with their
possible selves. It was also hypothesized that participants who reported a
relatedness between their personal project and possible self would indicate they
were more satisfied with their ombudsman role.
The ombudsman role was specifically identified in 25% of the participants'
hoped-for selves. Ombudsman hoped-for selves were also the second most
frequently reported selves.
The presence of an ombudsman hoped-for self was significantly correlated with
two personal project ratings, progress and visibility.
Contrary to prediction, the possible selves rating of relatedness was
insignificantly correlated with satisfaction. Furthermore, the presence of an
ombudsman self was not related to satisfaction. Time devoted to the ombudsman
role however, was a significant predictor of satisfaction.
Among participants who identified an ombudsman self, the possible selves
rating of relatedness was significantly correlated with three personal project ratings,
enjoyment, visibility, and challenge. These three variables significantly predicted
relatedness. Among all participants, the possible selves rating of relatedness was
significantly correlated with one personal project rating, value congruency. The
overall domains of meaning and stress were not significant predictors of
relatedness. / Graduation date: 2003

Reconsidering openness : a study of relationships between personality openness and attitudinal opennessChang, I-Tung Joyce 28 May 1992 (has links)
This is an observational study concerning relationships between
personality openness and attitudinal openness. 209 volunteers from two
samples, participated in this study. The Ohio sample contained data
from 36 self-identified feminists (age 18-65) at the Annual National
Women Studies Conference in Akron, Ohio, 1990. The Oregon State
university (OSU) sample contained data from 173 undergraduates (age
18-52). Personality openness was assessed by the short form of
"Openness to experiences" sub-scale from NEO (Neurosis Extraversion
Openness) Personality Inventory (Costa and McCrae, 1985); attitudinal
openness was assessed by the Feminism scale (Dempewolff, 197 4). The
results suggested that the correlation between openness and feminism
was significantly positive across all samples. Feminism attitudes were
found to be correlated with course selection, gender, and class
standings. On the other hand, personality openness was found to be
fairly stable regardless of course selection, age, gender, or class
standing. The findings are consistent with a personality construct of
openness as a stable disposition, and with feminism as an accumulated
attitude that is influenced by experiences, beliefs, and values. / Graduation date: 1993
