Document Summary

Relatively stable relationships as they pertain to variables. Personality psychology is concerned with looking at the person as a hole and looking at the individual differences. Psychology will use clinical settings (laboratory base settings) to study a phenomena, but most often what is ethical/allowed is often benign. Validity coefficient: correlation that indicates the degree of association between predictor and criterion. Interpretive biases: we tend to overemphasize the degree of the relationship. Reliability: refers to the consistency of the measure. Validity coefficients are lower, reliability coefficients are higher. Wrote a book on trait relevant behaviours of all existing literature and made a drastic. Said behaviour is not a function of traits, but a function situation. This was so empowering, psychologists were apologizing for the low coefficients. Even small correlations can be considered powerful in terms of the population. You want to have a predictor either broad or narrow to help predict what you are looking for.
