Personality Theory

Front 1

Two Major Orientations

Back 1

Personality Psychology and experimental psychology

Front 2

Personality

Back 2

More or less stable and enduring organization of a person's character, temperament, intellect and physique which determines his unique adjustment to the environment

Front 3

Character

Back 3

A person's more or less stable and enduring system of conative behavior (will)

Front 4

Temperment

Back 4

Stable and enduring system of affective behavior (emotion)

Front 5

Intellect

Back 5

enduring system of cognitive behavior (intelligence)

Front 6

Physique

Back 6

System of bodily configuration and neuroendocrine endowment

Front 7

Typology

Back 7

Is organized hierarchically through traits and habits

Front 8

Eysenck Personality Questionnaire

Back 8

A test to determine the three dimensions of Eysenck's Trait theory

Front 9

Evtraverts

Back 9

Sociable and impulsive individuals who like excitement

Front 10

Introverts

Back 10

Quiet, introspective individual who are oriented towards well-ordered life

Front 11

Neurotics

Back 11

Emotionally unstable individuals, anxiety level disproportionate to the the realities of the situation

Front 12

Psychotics

Back 12

More sever than neurotics, most sever is psychopathology

Front 13

Psychopathology

Back 13

hostile cruel and inhumane

Front 14

Genius vs. Psychopath

Back 14

Genius has unique way of thinking and not canceling non-relevant answers that are beneficial to society, psychopath is not

Front 15

Schizophrenia

Back 15

Have concepts that are overinclusive and, in consequence able to connect ideas that are unrelated

Front 16

Divergent Thinking

Back 16

Ability to think in unusual an doriginal ways

Front 17

Dopamine

Back 17

Excessive of this causes over inclusiveness

Front 18

Serotonin

Back 18

Lack of is a reason for over inclusiveness

Front 19

Inhibition Theory

Back 19

Eysenck first part of theory that based reasoning on differing neurological functions

Front 20

Extroversion (Inhibition Theory)

Back 20

Strong inhibitory process and weak excitatory process causes for a need for excitement

Front 21

Introversion (Inhibition Theory)

Back 21

Strong excitatory processes and weak inhibitory process

Front 22

Stimulus Hunger

Back 22

Desire for a strong sensory stimulation that extroverts have.

Front 23

Reactive inhibition

Back 23

That an activity is less stimulating each time you come into contact with it, extroverts higher reactive inhibition, tire and move on more often from things

Front 24

Cortical Arousal

Back 24

Eysenck's theory that can more precisely predict

Front 25

Arousal Theory

Back 25

Can identify the physiological system underlying the differences, introversion/extraversion and stability/neuroticisms

Front 26

Arousal Theory and Introversion/Extroversion

Back 26

Said introverts have high cortical arousability, to date has not been proven only that introverts are more sensitive to stimulation

Front 27

Ascending Reticular Activating System (ARAS)

Back 27

The thalamus and cortex, in crease in ARAS results in increases in alertness and arousal of the cortex. The ARAS can influence the cortex and the cortex can influence the ARAS

Front 28

Hedonic tone

Back 28

feelings and evaluations of the experience

Front 29

Difference in Hedonic Tones

Back 29

Extraverts have a higher level of stimulation to reach their hedonic tone where introverts need less stimulation

Front 30

Study On Distractions I/E

Back 30

Showed that introverts could not perform as well when distractions where around that extroverts could, however introverts tend to be more studious

Front 31

Autonomic Activation and Neuroticism

Back 31

Higher scores of neuroticism have lower thresholds for activity , my overact to mild stimulation .

Front 32

Visceral Brain

Back 32

The Limbic system, the part of the brain that is the deriver of neuroticism. Only partially separate from the ARAS.

Front 33

Neurotic ism Seperated

Back 33

Is broken down into Anxious and Worry, worry performs worst, anxious can perform the same but more bodily harm

Front 34

Hormones and Psychotocism

Back 34

Psychotocism is higher in males than females so it is wondered if androgens and antigens have a role in the development

Front 35

The Role of Heredity

Back 35

Roles are universal; twins show that they are more likely to both share Extroversion/Introversion and Neuroticism at the same levels saying there must be some biological reasoning behind it

Front 36

The Role of Socialization

Back 36

Introverts can better learn the rules of society over extraverts. Society helps shape how the individual responds,like criminal behavior. Extroverts more likely to be criminal especially if they are neurotic. Psychotic ism and intelligence have a role. Personality development can and does respond to socialization.

Front 37

Intelligence, Heredity and Social Policy

Back 37

Intelligence plays a big role in personality and it is hereditary. 80% hereditary. Soceity should be based on meritocracy not and a mediocracy. Who do you want performing your brain surgery? Were not equal. Though of a test to measure IQ that measured brain waves to show how you much information you interpreted when visually and auditorially stimulated. More complex waves the higher the IQ.

Front 38

Assessment Techniques

Back 38

Used twins, auditory stimulation tests for e/i. For arousal theory relied on EEG an delectrodermal response and pupillary response. Tested on animals for social goals.
