After going over Readings 25,28,30,35 and 36 their importance in social psychology, psychopathology, and psychotherapy are unbelievably important and relevant to the studies in each field. With most, if not all readings hinting at social psychology 25 and 28 both revolve around personality as Reading 30 addresses Freud’s daughter study over her father’s theories of egos while Readings 35 and 36 go over studies dealing with psychotherapy. Nonetheless, as Rotter goes over internal and external locus of control fate, he inevitably develops a test ultimately measuring a person’s locus of control. However, his work was far from being over. Only then, after creating the IE scale he began to measure people’s characteristics and could then study

He proposed that the degree to which a particular culture can be defined as an individualistic or collectivist which ultimately determines the behavior and personalities of its member in complex and pervasive ways. With this in mind he developed 3 studies where he tested participants from different cultures and conclusively sharpened the research focus of both studies in the final study. As a result, study 1 suggested a believed individualistic U.S as a multifaceted concept while study 2 fascinated Triandis with a mixed bag of results as some results supported his theory and others against it. However, study 3 basically supported Triandis’s theory and concluded with Triandis providing all social sciences a new lens through which we can view fundamental cultural differences. Nonetheless, you can relate to the individualist U.S with similar points of Triandis theory which is in fact true, for example, having less importance and every man to themselves type of …show more content…
This in fact focuses entirely on the content of the subject’s interpretations, rather than formless shapes like Rorschach inkblot, the TAT consists of black and white drawings depicting people in various ambiguous situations. However, the basic underlying assumption of TAT is that people’s behavior is driven by unconscious forces. Despite that, Murray stressed the purpose of this procedure is to stimulate literary creativity and thereby evoke fantasies that reveal covert and unconscious complexes. As a result, he surveyed participants between ages 20-30 and took notes on what each one said about the final set of 20 drawings, and then they were later asked about the drawings to see whether they made up stories about the drawings thus reflecting their own personal experience. Nonetheless, like most studies Murray’s and Rorschach faced strong criticism about poor reliability and validity, however, both researcher’s studies have influenced and prolonged studies dealing with projective test and have help upcoming researchers with a building
