Detecting the simulation profile in MMPI-2: A proposal based on research / Detectando el perfil simulador en el MMPI-2: una propuesta basada en la investigación

Sánchez Crespo, Guadalupe, Jiménez Gómez, Fernando, Ampudia Rueda, Amada 25 September 2017 (has links)
The aim of this study is to offer a profile detector of the falsifications that could be done to the MMPI-2. We propose minimal changes in the reversed order of the direct punctuations of L y K and the addition of four new specific scales: Odecp, Ds-r, S, F-K. Two groups were used: a control group, composed by normal and clinical subgroups who answered to the MMPI-2 according to standard procedure, and an experimental group, composed by three subgroups with different answer instructions: to give a good image, a bad image or an inconsistent answer. The result is a profile with the proposed scales of validity that initially allow the detection of different falsifications by the subjects when answering the MMPI-2 test. / Se propone un perfil detector de las falsificaciones que se dan con el MMPI-2, proponiendo la inversión de las puntuaciones directas de L y K y añadiendo cuatro nuevas escalas específicas: Odecp, Ds-r, S, F-K. Para esto se formaron dos grupos: control, compuesto por los subgrupos normal y clínico que contestan de forma estándar al MMPI-2, y experimental, formado por tres subgrupos instruidos para contestar al MMPI-2 de una manera determinada: mostrando buena imagen, mala imagen y de forma inconsistente. El resultado de este estudio es un perfil con las escalas de validez propuestas para la detección de las distintas falsificaciones que pueden realizar los sujetos que han contestado al cuestionario del MMPI-2.

Losing Sight of Ourselves: Applying Durkheim. Giddens, Baudrillard and Vaknin to Reality Television

Collins, Megan Elizabeth 2010 December 1900 (has links)
An application of theory to various reality television shows in order to discuss the emergence and encouragement of the false self in our society is the focus of this work. Toddlers and Tiaras, Hoarders and Sister Wives are the three television shows that will be analyzed by using content analysis in order to examine the effects of consumerism, narcissism and the emergence of the false self. The limitless character of the economy coupled with narcissism and an increased focus on the self contributes to the development of the false self within the individual. People may not even be aware of the push to be narcissistic, focused on our own biographies and self-promotion, yet people are aware of their suffering and unhappiness. Many individuals are left questioning why it is that they are never completely satisfied even as they accumulate notoriety, success, material wealth and possessions. An ideology of greatness and being the best is found in so many avenues of our daily lives, and at times it can be overwhelming, and if we do not possess these skills and qualities we are encouraged to just fake it.
