Big Five Personality Reflection

  1. The link at the bottom will take you to a free online version of Costa and McCrae’s “Big Five” personality test (NEO-PI).  This one is titled the IPIP300.  There are 300 items, but it’ll go pretty fast, no worries. You’ll see that there’s also a short 44-item version, don’t take it. It doesn’t include the subscales (facets).  When you click on the link, you’ll need to create a username and password. I suggest using an email account to join. If you see a  “join with Facebook” option,  I do not recommend using it.  The site is perfectly safe and managed by academics; for privacy reasons, I’m just not a fan of using Facebook, Google, or any other profile as a way to log in to anything. Once you have an account, you’ll be able to go back anytime and view the results of any tests you take. I think it’s interesting to look back on past scores and compare them to new scores. Here’s the task. Please follow each step carefully:1. For this assignment, please take the personality test and save all of the results (some students use a series of screenshots, some copy as jpeg, whatever works for you)2. Copy and paste all results, including details on subscales, aka facets (not just the 5 broad domains) into a Word document. 3. Next, write your response to the results.  Begin with a brief intro – summarizing your general impressions about the test. 4. Now review your scores on each of the five domains and facets.  Discuss each domain.  Do any of the percentile ranks seem unusually high or low or uncharacteristic of how you view yourself?  If any overall factor (domain) seems out of line with your view of yourself, dive a little deeper into the subdomains (facets) and you might find more useful information. I’d like your thoughts on whether you agree or disagree with the results, and why you agree or disagree.  5. Tell whether you think the results are useful to you, and if so, how? 6. Consider the many possible applications of this test and discuss when, where, why, and how it might be useful or not useful.  Examples: Might the results be useful in relationships? for managers making hiring decisions? for psychologists in clinical settings? etc. 7. Write a conclusion, and you’re done. ______________________________________________

    ___________________________________Besides the pages allocated for your results, the portion you will write should be about 2 pages. Be sure to write the assignment in a Word document, save it, and upload it (submit file). Please do not type your response directly into the submission box._________________________________________________________________________________Click on the link below to get to the “personality assessor” website.  You’ll need to set up an account.   Again, I encourage students to sign up using an email account and not the Facebook option (privacy concerns). ***  Click       IPIP-300 to go to the personality assessor website. Scroll through the tests to find the IPIP-300.Note: You’ll find several other personality tests on this site that are interesting, including an MBTI-like test, and others.

    Big Five Personality Reflection

  2. How do your scores on each of the five domains and facets compare to how you view yourself?,

  3. Do you agree or disagree with the results, and why?,

  4. Are the results useful to you, and how?,

  5. In what settings (relationships hiring clinical etc.) might the test be useful or not useful?

Quantitative Research Analysis

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the instructor guidance, the quantitative section of Chapter 7 and all of Chapter 8 in the Creswell and Creswell text, the chapter by Meltzoff and Cooper titled  Chapter 6: Research Designs and Threats to Internal ValidityLinks to an external site., and the article by Henrich et al. titled  Most People Are Not WEIRDLinks to an external site.. Also review Standard 8 of the APA  Ethical Principles for Psychologists and Code of ConductLinks to an external site.  from last week.

Your instructor will post an announcement with the reference for the quantitative research study you will discuss and critique in this discussion. The study will be found in the UAGC Library. Refer to the Library resource  How Do I Find An Article When I Have A Citation?Links to an external site.  if you need help finding the article.

Quantitative Research Analysis

In your initial post, consider the following:

· Compare and contrast the characteristics of experimental and nonexperimental quantitative research.

· State the research question the researchers were trying to answer in the study.

· Identify the type of quantitative research design that was used in the assigned study.

Quantitative Research Analysis

· Evaluate whether the researchers’ conclusion follows logically from the evidence presented.

· Identify threats to internal and external validity that might apply to how this study was conducted.

· Determine whether validity threats were addressed by the researchers. If so, describe how this was done.

· Summarize ethical considerations that were mentioned in the research report.

· Assess what ethical considerations apply to the design of the study but that were not mentioned by the researchers.

· Explain how you might do a study on this topic differently and why your approach would be more appropriate than the one used by the researchers.

· Evaluate whether a quantitative approach would be useful for the research topic you chose in Week 1.

· Describe the actions you would take to ensure that a quantitative study on your topic would be ethical.

· Support your evaluation of the study with citations and references of the required readings and other peer-reviewed sources. Refer to the  Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible SourcesLinks to an external site.  tip sheet to help determine which sources are appropriate.

Discussion 2

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the instructor guidance, the quantitative section of Chapter 7 and all of Chapter 8 in the Creswell and Creswell text, the chapter by Meltzoff and Cooper titled  Chapter 6: Research Designs and Threats to Internal ValidityLinks to an external site., and the article by Henrich et al. titled  Most People Are Not WEIRDLinks to an external site.. Also review Standard 8 of the APA  Ethical Principles for Psychologists and Code of ConductLinks to an external site.  from last week. Your instructor will post an announcement with the assigned research question. You and your colleagues will share ideas about how to research this topic using a quantitative approach.

In your initial post, consider the following guidelines and questions:

· Apply the scientific method by developing a null and an alternative hypothesis that provide potential answers to the research question.

· Review the quantitative research designs in the required readings and choose one that is suitable for your research question and hypotheses. Explain why this choice is most appropriate to test your hypotheses.

· Describe the target population, the desired sample, and any cultural considerations that may be involved.

· Identify potential internal and external threats to validity. Explain how you might mitigate these threats.

· Determine ethical issues that would need to be addressed. Explain what you would do to ensure an ethical study.

Quantitative Research Analysis

  1. What are the differences between experimental and nonexperimental research?,

  2. What type of quantitative design did the researchers use?,

  3. What are potential threats to validity in the study?,

  4. Were ethical considerations addressed, and how?,

  5. How would you design this study differently?
