[en] DEVELOPMENT OF IMPLICIT MEASURES TO ASSESS THE FACETS OF NEUROTICISM / [pt] ELABORAÇÃO DE MEDIDAS IMPLÍCITAS PARA AFERIR AS FACETAS DE NEUROTICISMONATHALIA MELO DE CARVALHO 28 May 2020 (has links)
[pt] Neuroticismo é um fator de personalidade que engloba quatro subfatores: depressão, vulnerabilidade, passividade e instabilidade emocional. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivos construir e buscar evidências de validade de medidas implícitas para aferir as facetas de neuroticismo. Para tanto, foram realizados dois estudos: (1) elaboração dos itens; (2) teste empírico das medidas. O primeiro estudo consistiu em um procedimento empírico para selecionar itens e buscar evidências de validade baseadas no conteúdo das medidas construídas. Participaram 408 pessoas, sendo que todas eram estudantes universitárias. Esse procedimento resultou em listas de palavras representativas do indivíduo e das facetas de neuroticismo. No segundo estudo, as palavras selecionadas previamente foram implementadas em testes de associação implícita para que fossem buscadas mais evidências de validade e obtidos indicadores de fidedignidade. Participaram 417 pessoas com diferentes níveis de escolaridade, sendo que 72,2 por cento tinham ensino superior incompleto e 61,4 por cento eram mulheres. Os resultados indicaram que as medidas de depressão, insegurança e passividade apresentaram evidências de validade satisfatórias, incluindo uma estrutura consonante com as definições dos construtos e relações esperadas com outras variáveis. Por exemplo, encontraram-se correlações positivas entre as medidas construídas e neuroticismo e correlações negativas com satisfação de vida. A medida de instabilidade emocional, por outro lado, se mostrou mais problemática no que diz respeito às evidências de validade. Ainda, os índices de consistência interna de todas as medidas se mostraram adequados e os coeficientes de correlação teste-reteste foram superiores aos valores que têm sido encontrados na literatura. Discute-se, entretanto, que mais evidências de validade são necessárias para que essas medidas possam ser usadas em contextos aplicados. / [en] Neuroticism is a personality factor that encompasses four subfactors: depression, vulnerability, passivity and emotional instability. This research aimed to build and search for evidence of validity of implicit measures to assess the facets of neuroticism. For this purpose, two studies were conducted: (1) elaboration of the items; (2) empirical test of the measures. The first study consisted of an empirical procedure to select items and search for evidence of validity based on the content of the built measures. Participants were 408 people, all of them were university students. This procedure resulted in lists of representative words of the individual and the facets of neuroticism. On the second study, the previously chosen words were implemented on implicit association tests, so that more evidence of validity was sought and reliability indicators were obtained. Participants were 417 people with different levels of educational background, 72.2 percent of them had incomplete higher educational background and 61.4 percent were women. The results indicated that the measures of depression, insecurity and passivity presented satisfactory evidence of validity, including a structure aligned with the definition of the constructs and expected relations to other variables. For instance, we found positive correlations between the built measures and neuroticism and negative correlations with satisfaction with life. The measure of emotional instability, however, proved to be more problematic regarding the evidence of validity. In addition, the internal consistency indexes for all measures were found to be adequate and the test-retest correlation coefficients were higher than the values found in previous studies. It is argued, however, that more evidence of validity is needed so that these measures can be used in applied contexts.

Measures of Implicit Self-Esteem. Psychometric Properties and the Prediction of Anxious, Self-Confident and Defensive BehaviorRudolph, Almut 02 October 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Die Dissertation besteht aus einem Einleitungsteil und drei empirischen Beiträgen. Die Einleitung gibt eine Einführung in das Themengebiet der Selbstwertschätzung und deren Erfassung mit indirekten Verfahren. Vor allem aber dient sie dazu, die empirischen Befunde der Beiträge zu integrieren. Die ersten beiden Artikel widmen sich der Überprüfung der psychometrischen Qualität indirekter Verfahren. Das Augenmerk des ersten Beitrags liegt auf der Prüfung, ob verschiedene indirekte Verfahren konvergieren und ob explizite und implizite Selbstwertschätzung korrespondieren, wenn implizite Selbstwertschätzung reliabel erfasst wird. Außerdem werden strukturelle Ähnlichkeiten der indirekten Verfahren in die Betrachtungen mit einbezogen. Der zweite Beitrag komplettiert die Untersuchungen zur Güte der Verfahren. Der Fokus dieses Beitrags liegt im Nachweis der prädiktiven Validität verschiedener indirekter Verfahren. Dabei werden Kriterien herangezogen, die nicht im Selbstbericht erhoben werden. Im Detail wird eine doppelte Dissoziation zwischen expliziter und impliziter Selbstwertschätzung geprüft. Der dritte Beitrag rundet diese Arbeit ab, da er sich auch einem anwendungsbezogenen Aspekt der Persönlichkeitspsychologie widmet. Untersucht wird der Zusammenhang zwischen defensiven Verhaltensweisen und Selbstwertdiskrepanzen, also der Kombination expliziter und impliziter Selbstwertschätzung. / The dissertation consists of an introduction and three empirical journal articles. The introduction gives the theoretical background about self-esteem and its assessment with indirect measures, and primarily, integrates the three journal articles. The first article investigates the reliability and convergent and discriminant validity of indirect measures of self-esteem. The second article complements the examination of the psychometric properties. It contributes evidence to the predictive validity of indirect self-esteem measures. With using non-self-reported criteria, a double dissociation between explicit and implicit self-esteem is tested. The third article brings into focus an applied aspect of personality psychology. It is analyzed how defensive reactions are related to self-esteem discrepancies, that are different combinations of explicit and implicit self-esteem.

Implicit Stigma of Mental Illness: Attitudes in an Evidence-Based PracticeStull, Laura Grace 07 August 2012 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Stigma is a barrier to recovery for people with mental illness. Problematically, stigma also has been documented among mental health practitioners. To date, however, most research has focused on explicit attitudes regarding mental illness. Little research has examined implicit attitudes, which has the potential to reveal evaluations residing outside of conscious control or awareness. Moreover, research has tended to use a mixed sample of practitioners and programs. The extent to which both explicit and implicit stigma is endorsed by mental health practitioners utilizing evidence-based practices is unknown. The purposes of the current study were to 1) carefully examine implicit and explicit stigmatizing attitudes, or biases, among Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) staff and 2) explore the extent to which explicit and implicit biases predicted the use of treatment control mechanisms. Participants were 154 ACT staff from nine states. They completed implicit (Implicit Association Test) and explicit measures of stigma. Overall, participants exhibited positive explicit and implicit attitudes towards people with mental illness. When modeled using latent factors, implicit, but not explicit bias significantly predicted the endorsement of restrictive or controlling clinical interventions. Practitioners who perceived individuals with mental illness as relatively more dangerous and helpless (both explicit and implicit), as well as participants from Indiana and those with less education were more likely to endorse use of control mechanisms. Thus, despite overall positive attitudes toward those with mental illness for the sample as a whole, even low levels of stigma at the individual level were found to affect clinical care. Mental health professionals, and specifically ACT clinicians, should work to be aware of ways in which their biases influence how they intervene with consumers.
