Personality Through Direct Testing Criterion Keying Approach (Clinical Method) –Behavioral descriptions as items –Comparing normal with the mentally ill –Often used in clinical settings –e.g., MMPI

Description of MMPI-2 Content Scales _______________________________________________________ ANX (ANXIETY)23 items FRS (FEARS)23 items OBS (OBSESSIVE)16 items DEP (DEPRESSION)33 items HEA (HEALTH CONCERNS)36 items BIZ (BIZARRE MENTATION)24 items ANG (ANGER)16 items CYN (CYNICISM)23 items ASP (ANTISOCIAL PRACTICES)22 items TPA (TYPE A)19 items LSE (LOW SELF-ESTEEM)24 items SOD (SOCIAL DISCOMFORT)24 items FAM (FAMILY PROBLEMS)25 items WRK (WORK INTERFERENCE) 33 items TRT (NEGATIVE TREATMENT INDICATORS) 26 items

Development of the MMPI in 1930s Began with pool of 1000 items Presented items to criterion and control groups Criterion group: psychiatric inpatients at the UM Hospital Control group:700 relatives and visitors of the patients Validation: Criterion group differed from control group at p<.05.

Personality Through Direct Testing Taxonomic Approach (Dictionary Method) –Single adjectives or phrases as items –Factor analysis –Often used in the normal population e.g., Catell 16PF Eysenck Personality Questionnaire NEO-PI

Chinese Personality: Inter Personal Relatedness Ren Qing 人情 Harmony 和諧 Flexibility 靈活性 Modernization 現代化 Face 面子 Thrift 節儉 Ah Q 阿 Q 精神

Sample Items Ren Qing 人情 When dealing with institutions, things can work out more smoothly through the connections of friends working inside. 有些事情要通過關係才可以做 Though I may be perfectly aware of my friends’ lack of ability, if they ask me to find them a good job, I will do my best to help them. 儘管我知道某個朋友很無能, 也會幫他引荐工作 When a friend borrows something from me and does not return it, I often feel uneasy about asking him/ her to give it back. 朋友借東西不還, 我不好意思要

Sample Items Face 面子 Sometimes I pretend I understand a lot, because I do not want others to look down on me. 不憧裝懂, 以免別人笑話 I feel a loss of face to be turned down by others. 被別人拒絕, 感到很沒面子 Sometimes I will insist on giving a friend a decent gift even if it means borrowing money to buy it. 就是借錢也得送一份像樣的禮物

Sample Items Thrift 節儉 少花錢, 不浪費 Ah Q 阿 Q 精神 出名的人都是靠別人吹捧, 沒有真本事 不上大學有甚麼關係, 大學畢業還不是找不到工作

A Comparison of Factor Pattern, Item Means, and Standard Deviations for Chinese Sample with Sample Reported by HARTER (1982)

Performance on mathematics test given at three testing periods (1980, 1984, 1990) for students from Japan ( ), Taiwan( ) and the United States( ) Performance on the reading vocabulary test given at two testing periods (1980, 1990) for students from Japan ( ), Taiwan( ) and the United States( )

Attitudes of Japanese (solid), Chinese (open), and American (hatched) mothers toward children’s academic performance as reflected in ratings on a three-point rating scale. Sample sizes for Japan, Taiwan, and United States, respectively:233, 197, and 214 (1980); 157, 104, and 117 (1984); and 258, 238, and 220 (1990).

Factors influencing academic achievement Western Culture -High national spending -Small class size -Disposition (IQ, personality) -Primary control (the person) -Individual learning -Individualistic values -Intrinsic motivation -Ability attribution -High self-esteem e.g., Big fish Confucian Culture -Moderate spending -Large class size -Changeability (attitudes) -Secondary or environment -Cooperative learning -Social pressure, guilt -Extrinsic, social comparison -Effort attribution -Self-effacement e.g., Little pond

Findings on Likert-type scale response tendencies: Very BadVery Good

Note. Points A and C mark the mean American and Chinese ratings, respectively, on the internal and external attribution scales.
