Document Summary
Strength: individuals have access to a wealth of info about themselves. Sdr is 2 things: agentic, and communal. In terms of testing to avoid acquiescence, reverse-wording/wording direction can have a weaker validity. Best type of data for measuring personality. Heritability for the big 5 are around 0. 4/0. 5. Participants are placed in a standardized testing situation. Used by a researcher for a later experiment. Saw if later they would volunteer for a study. They had to show up and send 10 minutes deciding who was going to be the builder and who was going to lead. He made the groups either same sex or di erent sex to see if gender role trumped personality. Groups: mm, ff, mf, fm (h/l dom) Mm: leader was dom (75% of the time) Mf: leader was m (80% of the time) Personality in uence didn"t disappear, but it looked like it did. Bold female told the male to be the leader, deliberating.
