Imagine that you were invited to take the test as a child

PSY/250 Discussion Question 175 words

In Chapter 18, “Rotter and Mischel: Cognitive Social Learning Theory,” you read about Walter Mischel’s “marshmallow test,” in which he researched self-regulation and delayed gratification. Review the description of the “marshmallow test” and its results on pages 561–563 of your textbook.

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • Imagine that you were invited to take the test as a child. Predict how you would have responded to the test. Would you have been able to exercise willpower and self-regulation? Why or why not? What techniques might you have used to delay gratification?
  • Refer to Skinner’s Behaviorist theory. Based on your response to the marshmallow test, what might Skinner have to say about your personality? Incorporate two or more of the following terms in your response:
  • Reinforcement (positive, negative, continuous, intermittent)
  • Punishment (not to be confused with negative reinforcement)
  • Social control
  • Self-control

Purpose and Appropriateness of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2

Purpose and Appropriateness of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2

When administering a self-report personality assessment, psychologists must take an individual’s motivation and intent into account. For example, in job interviews individuals usually want to cast themselves in the best possible light when asked about their personality traits that influence work habits. The MMPI-2 is one assessment instrument that takes motivation and intent into account, but how do you know that this instrument is appropriate for your setting? How might the MMPI-2 assist you in gathering accurate self-report data in a specific setting?

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. It is also recommended that you revisit the Arbisi et al. (2006), Gilmore et al. (2001), and the Wygant et al. (2010) articles on settings from Week 2. Then consider the purpose for using the MMPI-2 and whether the MMPI-2 would be appropriate for the setting you selected for your Week 2 discussion.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a description of the purpose for using the MMPI-2. Then explain how you might use the MMPI-2 in the setting you selected in your Week 2 Discussion and explain how and why it may be appropriate. Be sure to title your discussion post with the setting.
Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources.
