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 taxonomy 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.

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 ego and superego. The person wants to meet a certain standard.

Name and explain the two models for the relationship between personality and feeling good / happy.
D. 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 pull 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 / 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.

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 revaluation. This is a cognitive process in which someone focuses on good things that happen or have happened. The second strategy is problem focus coping. Here thoughts and behavior are used to manage underlying causes of stress. Finally, there is the creation of positive events. This creates a positive time-out from the stress.
These two cognitive events are called the primary valuation and the secondary valuation. The primary appreciation arises because an event puts pressure on a person's personal goals. This should be followed by secondary appreciation where the person realizes that he or she does not have the resources to deal with the event.

D. Both statements are incorrect. The number of accidents at home has actually increased, especially among the elderly, while the number of accidents at work has decreased. Much attention has been paid in recent years to the prevention of traffic accidents, but this was due to the adaptation of traffic rules. Psychological interventions to make people stick to these traffic rules are missing.
B. 27%. Of these women who receive a recommendation 59% occasionally (every two years) screen, and only 27% every year.

What is not a factor that distinguishes a light smoker from a heavy smoker?
Light smokers attach more importance to academic success.
Light smokers often have supportive home situations.
Light smokers often have fewer people around them who smoke.
Light smokers have a better idea of how unhealthy smoking is.
Someone with high self-esteem ...
Avoids assessment situations.
Addresses other issues sooner after a failure.
What is meant by behavioral inoculation?
A. Only statement I is correct. With problem drinkers, there is indeed no question of physical addiction, but there are social, medical and psychological problems.
B. Only statement II is correct. Alcoholics and problem drinkers who are still young, have a job and receive a lot of social support can learn to drink in moderation, assuming they have not been drinking for too long. This has the advantage that it is a more realistic form of drinking behavior than total abstinence.
D. Light smokers have a better idea of how unhealthy smoking is. This is not a factor that distinguishes light smokers from heavy smokers. This is precisely a characteristic that they share with heavy smokers: light smokers have the same attitudes and health beliefs about smoking as heavy smokers.
B. Addresses other issues sooner after a failure.
Behavioral inoculation means that someone will hear a weak version of an argument, so that he can come up with counter-arguments against it. This makes him stronger in his shoes when he hears a stronger version of that argument.
The book 'Introduction to Personality, Clinical and Health Psychology' is a book that has been specially compiled for Leiden University. It is based on three other books:
The fact that this book is a compilation of three other books is also clearly reflected in the structure of the book. In this book it is always indicated from which book the chapters originate. In the summary, it has been decided to also mention the original book titles.
