We introduce a model to relate the personality dimensions of introversion- extraversion, achievement motivation, and anxiety efficient cognitive performance. show how these in combination with situational moderators (e.g., success, failure, time pressure, incentives, day, stimulant drugs) affect motivational constructs arousal effort. propose general information-processing that accounts for systematic effects states on certain task components (sustained information transfer some aspect...
We studied the relationship between phase and amplitude of circadian temperature rhythm using questionnaires that measure individual differences in personality variables, variables relate to rhythms, age sex. The ambulatory core body 101 young men 71 women was recorded continuously over 6 days. minimum (Tmin) (Tamp) were derived by fitting a complex cosine curve each day's data for subject. Participants completed Horne-Ostberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), Circadian Type...
A new procedure for determining the optimal number of interpretable factors to extract from a correlation matrix is introduced and compared more conventional procedures. The method evaluates magnitude Very Simple Structure index goodness fit factor solutions increasing rank. which maximizes VSS criterion taken as being extract. Thirty-two artificial two real data sets are used in order compare this with such methods maximum likelihood, eigenvalue greater than 1.0 rule, comparison observed...

The extent to which a scale score generalizes latent variable common all of the scale's indicators is indexed by general factor saturation. Seven techniques for estimating this parameter—omega hierarchical (ω h )—are compared in series simulated data sets. Primary comparisons were based on 160 artificial sets simulating perfectly simple and symmetric structures that contained four group factors, an additional 200 confirmed large standard deviations two methods these simulations when was...
Abstract Hierachical cluster analysis is shown to be an effective method for forming scales from sets of items. The number form a particular item pool found by testing the psychometric adequacy each potential scale. Higher-order are formed when they more adequate than their component sub-scales. It suggested that scale's should assessed new measure internal consistency reliability, coefficient beta, which defined as worst split-half reliability test. Comparisons with other procedures show...
Abstract A genuine interest in science is an important part of scientific literacy, and thus a critical goal for education. Recent studies, however, have found that school has not been effective meeting this goal, reason which the lack knowledge about what makes interesting (or not) to students. Using instructional episodes as unit analysis, study investigated effects learning environment elements (content topic, activity, goal) on student science. The findings indicated when judging...
We argue that it is useful to distinguish between three key goals of personality science—description, prediction and explanation—and attaining them often requires different priorities methodological approaches. put forward specific recommendations such as publishing findings with minimum a priori aggregation exploring the limits predictive models without being constrained by parsimony intuitiveness but instead maximizing out–of–sample accuracy. naturally occurring variance in many...
Abstract Measurement is fundamental to all research in psychology and should be accorded greater scrutiny than typically occurs. Among other claims, McNeish Wolf (Thinking twice about sum scores. Behavior Research Methods , 52 2287-2305) argued that use of scores (a) implies a highly constrained latent variable model underlies items comprising scale, (b) may misrepresent or bias relations with criteria. The central claim by requires the assumption parallel test item responses incorrect...
The authors of the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) and Questionnaire (EPQ) have claimed that extraversion scales contained in two tests are equivalent. Although scores on moderately highly correlated, supplementary analyses suggest they differ at least one important respect. While EPI scale measures as a reasonable mix impulsivity sociability, EPQ's is almost purely measure sociability. Recent experimental evidence demonstrates responsible for several findings previously attributed to...
Personality psychology is concerned with affect (A), behavior (B), cognition (C) and desire (D), personality traits have been defined conceptually as abstractions used to either explain or summarize coherent ABC (and sometimes D) patterns over time space. However, this conceptual definition of has not reflected in their operationalization, possibly resulting theoretical practical limitations current trait inventories. Thus, the goal project was determine affective, behavioral, cognitive...
