D. Answer A and B are both incorrect.
Personality is a collection of an individual's psychological traits and mechanisms that exhibit coherence, generally persist, and affect the individual's interaction and his or her adaptation to intrapsychic, physical, and social environments.
Input (information from the environment), decision rules (way of thinking), and output (tendency to certain behavior).
Each person is in certain respects: 1) equal to others (the level of human nature), 2) similar to others (the level of individual and group differences) and 3) unique (the level of individual uniqueness).
Nomothetic research includes statistical comparisons of individuals or groups. It is used to distinguish universal human traits. Idiographic (descriptive) research concerns a single subject and observes the way in which general principles are applicable in a single case. This often concerns a psychological biography or a study of one person.
The dispositional, biological, intrapsychic, cognitive-experimental, socio-cultural and adaptation domain.
First, the theory should guide researchers, leading to new findings. Second, the theory must explain known findings. Finally, the theory must make specific predictions that can be tested empirically.
Which of the following alternatives is an example of an unstructured questionnaire?
What do we know if dominance positively correlates with ego strength?
In an experimental design, the manipulated variable is:
Someone who tends to agree with all the questions in a questionnaire will likely show the response set:
What someone tells you about their friend is considered to be:
Which of the following concepts is not important for assessing a personality measurement?
What do psychological researchers mainly derive their psychological statements from?
If someone's personality has been assessed four times, and each time that person gets the same score, we know that that rating:
If people who score high on 'extraversion' also score high on measurements of 'being happy', then 'extraversion' and 'being happy' are:
When different measurements of the same construct correlate high with a given test, that test has high:
Which statement is correct? The internal consistency of a test says something about the ... of a test.
Name the four main forms of data collection.
Name a disadvantage of S-data, O-data and T-data.
What does fMRI mean and what is its purpose?
When can a test be called reliable?
When can a test be considered valid?
What three types of research designs are there and what are they best suited for?
B. Open questions.
C. People who score high on dominance also score high on ego strength.
B. The independent variable.
C. Acquiescence (agree with everything).
C. O-data.
B. Manipulation.
A. The style of the behavior.
A. is reliable.
B. Positively correlated.
A. Convergent validity.
D. Reliability.
Self-report data (S-data), observer-report data (O-data), test data (T-data) and life-outcome data (L-data).
Functional magnetic resonance imaging; discovering the place and patterns of brain activity when participants perform certain tasks.
When the same scores are obtained with repeated measurements.
When the test measures what it should measure.
The first is experimental research. This method is best suited for determining causality between two variables. The second type is correlational research. This method is best suited for investigating relationships between variables in natural settlements. The third method is the case study. This is suitable for formulating hypotheses and gaining insight into individual cases.
What are the two most used personality dimensions in the history of personality psychology?
Which of the following alternatives exemplifies the view that properties are descriptive summaries?
A researcher who defines properties before examining them follows:
Features in a circumplex that are each other's opposites:
The idea that all major differences have been precipitated in the natural language is known as:
In Wiggins' circumplex, dominance and warmth-friendliness (agreeableness) convey the relationship of:
Someone who is anti-social and shows lack of empathy probably scores high on the trait:
In which of the Big Five does the temperament emotionality fit?
Which charactertrait of the Big Five is not universal in all the different cultures?
Which two approaches exist to conceptualize traits?
What three approaches exist to distinguish the most important features of traits?
Describe Eysenck's hierarchical personality model.
Describe Cattell's 16 personality factors system.
What are circumplex models of personality?
Which five factors of personality are distinguished in the Big Five?
Which sixth factor is distinguished in the HEXACO model?
B. Neuroticism and extraversion.
D. The Act Frequency Method.
B. The theoretical approach.
C. Correlate negatively.
B. The lexical hypothesis.
C. Orthogonality.
C. Psychoticism.
C. Neuroticism.
B. Openness.
The first approach states that traits are inner traits that cause behavior. So, pulling causes external behavior. The second approach states that traits are descriptive summaries of external behavior. This approach does not assume that pulling causes behavior.
The lexical approach sees all important features as caught in the language. This approach uses synonym frequency and cross-cultural universality as criteria to distinguish important features. The statistical approach uses statistical procedures such as factor analysis to distinguish clusters from related traits. The theoretical approach uses existing personality theories to determine which traits are important.
Eysenck developed a hierarchical model in which the features of extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism are distinguished. These general traits include more specific traits such as activity level, mood and egocentricity. The taxonomy is based on factor analysis but has biological roots, such as a hereditary and physiological basis of the traits.
Cattell's 16 personality factors system consists of 16 personality traits, based on factor analysis. This taxonomy arose from the use of multiple types of data sources.
Circumplex taxonomies focus on the domain of interpersonal traits. They are circular arrangements of traits around two dimensions: status (dominance) and love (kindness).
Extraversion, kindness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and open-mindedness.
In addition to the five factors of the Big Five, the HEXACO model distinguishes the factor honesty-humility. This factor includes sincerity, honesty, avoidance of greed and modesty.
How is the idea that personality traits influence the choice of situations in which people find themselves known?
What, according to Mischel (1968), was the most important thing in determining behavior?
The idea that personality traits influence the choice of situations people find themselves in is known as:
The point of view of the person-situation interaction implies that when we observe a certain behavior:
What three assumptions do personality psychologists make with regard to personality?
Why is personality psychology also called differential psychology?
What is meant by situationism (Mischel)?
Describe the phenomenon of person-situation interaction.
Describe what situational selection entails.
What is meant by faking by participants?
What are Barnum statements?
What is the problem with Jung's theory of the psychological types on which the MBTI is based?
A. Situational selection.
B. Situations.
B. Situational selection.
A. Both the relevant personality trait and the appropriate situation will be available.
There are meaningful individual differences in personality. The personality is stable over time. The personality is consistent in different situations.
Personality psychology deals with differences between people. Differential psychology studies not only individual differences in personality, but also ability, fitness and intelligence.
If behavior differs per situation, behavior is not determined by underlying traits, but by situational differences.
Behavior is a function of the interaction between character traits and situational influences.
A form of interactionism, the tendency to choose situations in which one can be oneself.
The deliberate bias of answers to a questionnaire.
Generalities, statements that could apply to everyone. For example, "You sometimes doubt whether you did the right thing" or "You want others to like you."
People cannot be divided into types that are, for example, completely introverted or completely extroverted. Character traits are normally distributed. Very few personal characteristics follow a bimodal distribution.
Freud's theory of psychosexual stages exemplifies personality change at the level of analysis of:
Self-efficacy is defined as:
For which of the following terms does balance historically count as a central feature?
The trait 'competence' in women:
When is personality least stable?
Name three forms of personality stability.
Which traits of the Big Five change over time and in which direction (increase or decrease)?
What other properties change over time and in which direction (increase or decrease)?
To which characteristics do changes apply, specifically in women?
What did Twenge's (2001) study show about cohort effects related to change in assertiveness and dominance in women?
What traits predict bad marriage and divorce?
What is the effect of work experience on personality?
B. The population.
A. The belief that one can do the necessary to achieve desired results.
B. Temperament.
B. Increase with age.
C. In the adolescence period.
Neuroticism diminishes with time; kindness and conscientiousness increase with time.
Self-esteem increases; impulsivity decreases; sensation seeking decreases after a peak in adolescence.
In women, femininity appears to be declining around age 40-50. This is probably related to menopause. Autonomy, independence and competence, in particular, seem to increase with women as they age.
Assertiveness was high after 1930, when women were extremely independent. Then, in the 1950s and 1960s, women became mainly housewives. From 1967 to 1993 assertiveness increased again due to changes in social roles and more women in the workplace.
High levels of neuroticism in both sexes and impulsivity in men.
People successful at work become happier, more confident and less anxious over time.
The heritability coefficient is expressed as the proportion:
Most studies attempting to relate specific genes to personality:
A trait is likely to be hereditary when:
The percentage of their genes that uncles and aunts have in common with cousins is approximately:
Which approach aims to identify specific genes related to personality traits?
What percentage of his or her children does a parent have in common with each of his or her children?
If the correlation between characteristics of adoptive parents and adopted children is high:
Which four traditional methods are used in gene research?
Which traits have shown heritability?
To what extent are personality traits hereditary and to what extent are they determined by the environment?
What does the concept of heritability mean?
What does 'the influence of environment' mean?
Which three types of gene-environment correlations are distinguished?
A. Genotypic variance of the total variance.
B. Find that specific genes explain a moderate amount of the variance.
B. Monozygous twins are more similar to that trait than dizygotic twins.
C. 25%.
B. Molecular studies.
B. 50%.
B. We can assume that there is environmental influence.
Selective breeding, family studies, twin studies and adoption studies.
Extraversion and neuroticism, as well as other dimensions of the Big Five, have been shown to be mediocre hereditary.
Personality traits are 30-50 percent hereditary and 50-70 percent is determined by the environment.
The degree of perceived individual differences caused by genetic differences in a given population or sample.
The extent to which observed individual differences are caused by environmental differences.
Passive, reactive and active.

B. Extraversion.
D. That scores high on 'eveningness'.
B. Are called biological substrates.
C. Morningness-eveningness.
C. Sociability.
B. Different states of consciousness.
Electrodormal activity, cardiovascular reactivity and brain activity. A new research area is fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
The first is to consider physiological measurements as variables associated with personality traits. A second way is to consider physiological events as contributing to providing a physiological substrate for personality traits.
Extraversion, sensitivity to reward and punishment (based on the BIS and BAS system), sensation seeking, three-dimensional personality theory, morningness-eveningness, affective style.
Physiological variables are considered to be more than constructs underlying character traits. They are considered as substrates of the biological roots of behavioral patterns associated with a trait.
The BAS system is the Behavioral Activation System that responds to rewards. The BIS system is the Behavioral Inhibition System that responds to punishment and threats.
Dopamine (novelty seeking), serotonin (harm avoidance) and norepinephrine (reward dependence).
Asymmetry in the frontal brain activity. The left represents a tendency towards the positive and the right the negative.
An important advance of EEG, is that it is mobile. You can register someone's brainactivity while the patient is still moving. In a fMRI the patient must lie really still to get a good image.
Which of the following alternatives is most important to a woman according to evolutionary theory?
What are the incidental effects of adaptations called?
How do men and women differ according to evolutionary theory?
Which of the following possibilities is no evolutionary function of emotions?
Investigation into murder and manslaughter indicates that:

A. Need for sexual variation.
C. Emotions can contribute to 'life satisfaction'.
B. Men kill mostly men.
C. Fear.
First, it is assumed that customizations are domain specific. They are designed to solve specific adaptive problems. Secondly, there are many types of adjustments, as there are also many adaptive problems. Third, adjustments are functional. They aim to solve adaptive problems.
First, with theories from which specific predictions are derived, the top-down approach. Secondly, by developing a theory based on observations, the bottom-up approach.
The level of human nature, gender differences and individual differences.
At the level of human nature, evidence has been found that people have a need to belong to a group. Furthermore, they tend to help others who have the same genes. After all, people have basic emotions like joy, aversion, anger, fear, sadness, and contempt.
At the gender differences level, men and women appear to differ in areas such as the desire to have different sex partners, jealousy and basis of partner preference. Physical attractiveness is more important in men and financial in women.
Different approaches are possible at the level of individual differences. Individual differences could arise from different environments, but also from the characteristics of the individual. When someone is big and strong, they are more inclined to aggressive behavior than a small person.
Darwin assumed that there is a process of creating adjustments and making changes. Changes that allow the organism to survive and reproduce lead to more offspring. Unsuccessful species decrease in number and eventually die out.
The genes of organisms that reproduce more than others are more often passed on to future generations than the genes of those that reproduce less.
Which of the following alternatives indicates that you are stuck at a certain stage of development?

A conflict between the Ego and the Superego is experienced as:
Apologies or acceptable explanations for unacceptable behavior are an example of:
How did Freud come up with the psychodynamic theory?
Which statement is true?
I. When a child doesn't have any success during the anal stage, the consequence is that the child will become agressive and sadistic.
II. When something goes wrong during the latency stage with the development of the child, the consequence will be that the child will have difficulties with having relations and being childish.
What three parts does the psyche have, according to Freud?
What is the therapy Freud developed called?

D. All the above answers are correct.
B. Anal stage.
B. Hydraulic system.
C. Moral fear.
C. Rationalization.
A. Long conversations with patients.
B. I and II are both false.
The Id, the Ego and the Superego.
Psychoanalysis.
Oral phase, anal phase, phallic phase and latency phase.
Sex and aggression. The instinct of life (libido) and the instinct of death (thanatos).
The Id works with primary process thinking, thinking without logic. Dreams and fantasy are examples of this. Fulfilling wishes is central.
The Ego works according to the reality principle. The Ego understands that the Id's wishes sometimes conflict with reality. It works according to the secondary process thinking, developing strategies for solving problems.
The Superego is the part of the mind that internalizes the values, morals, and ideals of society.
Objective anxiety is fear. This anxiety is a response to threats from the environment. Neurotic anxiety occurs in a conflict between the Id and the Ego. There is a danger of the Ego losing control of an unacceptable desire of the Id. Moral anxiety is caused by a conflict between the Ego and the Superego. The person wants to meet a certain standard.

C. Empathy.
A. Low.
Confirmation, or hearing a witness who can confirm the recalled event.
Erikson emphasizes social tasks and extended the development span across life.
Object relations theory has been one of the most important theoretical developments in psychoanalysis since Freud's death. The term 'object relations' means the behavioral patterns in relation to others, as well as the emotional, cognitive and motivational processes underlying these behavioral patterns.
Motives are internal states that create excitement and direct behavior toward a particular goal. Motives are based on needs.
The stress reduction process ensures the satisfaction of needs and not the state of relaxation.
First you have the need for achievement, this is the desire to perform well, to be successful and to have a sense of competence. This includes cultural differences and gender differences. Second, you have a need for power. This is the desire to have an impact on others. Finally, you have a need for intimacy. This is the desire to build warm and satisfying relationships with others. This is not equivalent to extroversion.
First, there are physiological needs such as air, water, sex, et cetera. Second, there are safety needs such as having an orderly life and protection. Third, there is the need for social contact. This is the need to belong to a group and to be respected. Fourth, there is a need for appreciation and recognition. Finally, there is the need for self-actualization; the need to be the person you want to be.
Someone who relates events to past experiences is involved in:
What are the three levels of cognition that personality psychologists are interested in and what do they involve?
What is a postmodernist and who can be labelled as such?
What is learned helplessness?
Explain what self-efficacy means.
A : Personalizing cognition.
There are three levels the first is perception. Perception is the ordering of information that we have received through our emotional organs. The second level is conscious goals: people develop certain beliefs about what is important in life and what goals are appropriate to pursue. The third and last level is the interpretation: explaining world events by means of own interpretations.
Kelly was a postmodernist. This means that he believed that every person and every culture has a version of reality that is unique.
Learned helplessness occurs when a person experiences an inevitable, aversive situation. These feelings create a circular response, which is influenced by the attribution style that someone has.
Self-efficacy is the confidence to be able to perform a certain action in order to achieve a goal.
What does the IQ accurately represent?
Which of the following methods is a statistical approach that identifies groups of items that co-exist?
IQ tests are usually interpreted as measurements of:
Research shows that fluid intelligence strongly asssociates with:
Explain the implicit and explicit theory of intelligence.
How is the IQ calculated?
What is emotional intelligence?
A. How someone has performed on a given intelligence test.
B. Factor analysis.
B. Aptitude intelligence.
A. Working memory.
Implicit theories assess intelligence based on a person's behavior and appearance. Explicit theories assess intelligence based on conclusions from studies of intelligence differences between individuals.
The IQ can be calculated by dividing the mental age by the chronic age and then multiplying the number by 100.
Emotional intelligence is the ability to reason accurately about emotions and use these emotions to strengthen one's own mindset.
Which of the following qualities is correlated with hostility?
Emotional content and emotional style:
What is the difference between an emotional state and an emotional trait?
What is emotional content and what is emotional style?
Name and explain the two models for the relationship between personality and feeling good/happy.
C. Answer A and B are both correct.
A. Correlate at high levels.
Emotional state is temporary and has more to do with the context of a situation. An emotional trait is a pattern of emotional responses that is consistent across situations.
Emotional content is an emotional experience of an individual, which can be divided into pleasant and unpleasant emotions. The emotional style describes how someone experiences emotions and how he or she deals with them.
In the direct model, personality is seen as the cause of emotional reactions. In the indirect model, personality creates a certain lifestyle, which subsequently triggers emotional reactions.
When someone intentionally does something that increases the chances of failure, they are involved in:
People who like social contact but are restrained by uncertainty are best described as:
How is the idea that identity remains relatively stable?
Explain the difference between self-concept and social identity.
What is the difference between the ideal self and the expected self?
Can shy people be called introverted and why?
What are the two important aspects of identity?
What is the difference between identity issues and identity conflicts?
D. Self-handicapping.
D. People who are shy.
D. Continuity of identity.
The self-concept is the basis through which someone can understand himself. A social identity is what someone shows of himself to others.
The ideal self is the one who wants to be the person. The expected self is how the person thinks the environment thinks he or she should be.
Shy people interpret social interaction negatively and expect others to dislike them. Nevertheless, they like friendship and social interactions, so they are not naturally introverted. Shy people are more reserved because of their fears and insecurities.
The two important aspects of identity are continuity and contrast. Continuity means that people are usually the same person tomorrow as they are today. Contrast means that everyone has a different social identity, which makes everyone unique.
Identity problems do not create a 'correct' identity, which can cause a person to have problems with important choices. In an identity conflict, two or more aspects of the identity conflict.
Which manipulation tactics do people who score low on intellect-openness (to experience) tend to use the most?
Which of the following alternatives is most important to most people when choosing a partner?
Another term for ' self-fulfilling prophecies' is
When a person's behavior unintentionally provokes a certain reaction in another, we speak of:
What are the three ways in which personality increases social interaction?
What is situation selection related to and what is it?
What is assortative mating?
What characterizes narcissism?
B : Social comparison
D : Personality
A : Expectancy confirmation
C : Evocation
The three ways are: evocation (personality traits evoke reactions in others and vice versa), selection (one seeks social situations and certain people themselves), and manipulation (one wants to influence others in a positive and negative sense).
Situation selection means that people avoid or seek out certain situations. This can depend on personality dispositions, but also on someone's self-image.
Assortative mating is: the selection of relationship partners who resemble themselves in terms of personality.
Narcissism is characterized by: exhibitionism, a sense of grandiose, self-centeredness and exploiting other people.
Sex differences in depression:
Men tend to have higher scores than women on:
What is the social learning theory a variant of?
People who are performance-oriented and short on time:
Contrary to factual differences, views on the ways in which men and women differ is:
What are gender differences and what are gender stereotypes?
What does effect size mean and what is a small, medium or large effect?
Why is low self-esteem a predictor of depression and antisocial behavior?
What causes women to suffer from depression earlier than men?
Which three components consist of sex stereotypes?
C. Are most commonly found in adolescence in adulthood.
A. Aggressiveness.
B. The socialization theory.
D. None of the above answers are correct.
D. Called 'gender stereotypes'.
Gender differences are the differences between men and women in behavior, personality and certain characteristics. Gender stereotypes are what is believed to be the differences between man and woman.
Effect size is the difference between two averages, expressed in standard deviations. An effect size of 0.20 is small, one of 0.50 is medium, and one of 0.80 is large.
Low self-esteem is a predictor of depression and antisocial behavior because these people are less able to deal with stress.
Women experience earlier depression because they have a weaker position on the labor market, because they have less control over important things in life, and because they have a lower status in relationships.
Sex stereotypes consist of a cognitive aspect, an affective component and a behavioral component.
Cultural differences are most evident:
What are the three points with which psychologists explain personality differences between cultures?
What does the term acculturation mean?
D. In the self-concepts.
First, there is the evoked culture. These are qualities that every person possesses, but which are only evident in some cultures. Second, there is transfer of culture. These are the representations spread by interaction. Finally, there are cultural universals. These are traits that occur in all cultures.
Acculturation is the process of adapting to life in a new culture.
What is an example of a 'daily hassle'?
Which of the following alternatives is not a model of the relationships between health and behavior?
What is stress and what are the different types of stress?
Explain the phases of the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS).
Explain the three coping strategies that deal with positive emotions.
What are the two cognitive events that must take place to create stress, according to Lazarus?
B. The household.
A. The circumplex model.
Stress is a subjective feeling that is the result of uncontrollable and threatening events (stressors). These are often extreme situations with unpleasant consequences that cannot be influenced. Stress can be divided into four types: acute stress, traumatic stress, episodic acute stress, and chronic stress.
When a person is exposed to stress, a certain pattern of emotional and physiological responses follows. First there is the alarm phase, which consists of the fight or flight response of the sympathetic nervous system. If the stress persists, the resistance phase follows. Resistance to a stressor is offered, but it costs a lot of energy. If the stress still persists, one enters the exhaustion phase. In this phase, people often get sick because their physiological resources are exhausted.
First you have the coping strategy called positive reappraisal. This is a cognitive process in which someone focuses on good things that happen or have happened. The second strategy is problem-focused coping in which thoughts and behavior are used to manage underlying causes of stress. Finally, there is the strategy of creating positive events, which creates a positive time-out from the stress.
These two cognitive events are called primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. Primary appraisal arises because an event puts pressure on a person's personal goals. This should be followed by secondary appraisal where the person realizes that he or she does not have the resources to deal with the event.
Fill in: A woman who uses excessive makeup has a good chance of a ... personality disorder.
Which of the characteristics below is typical for someone with a histrionic personality disorder?
Which personality disorders are classified in the same cluster?
What is a psychological disorder?
What is a personality disorder?
What is the dimensional model of personality?
What are the causes for developing a personality disorder?
A. Histrionic.
C. Attracting attention.
A. Dependent personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
A psychological disorder consists of a pattern of behavior or experience that causes stress or pain in a person and that can lead to inability or damage in different areas of life.
A personality disorder is a long-lasting pattern of experiences and behavior that is very different from the expectations of the person's culture. These deviating patterns arise from experiences, thoughts and interactions with the world.
In the dimensional model of personality, the differences between people with normal personality traits and people with disorders are distinguished in terms of the degree of the disorder, the rigidity of the disorder, and the degree of adjustment.
Both biological and environmental factors influence the development of a personality disorder. Heritability plays a greater role in antisocial and schizotypal disorders, while environmental factors play a greater role in borderline.
