Hans Eysenck was a psychologist who defined personality as consisting of traits that determine one's adjustment to the environment. His typology included three types: extraversion-introversion, stability-neuroticism, and impulse control-psychoticism. Extraverts are sociable while introverts prefer solitary activities. Neurotics experience disproportionate anxiety. Psychotics exhibit severe psychopathology but also creativity. Eysenck believed personality traits have genetic bases but can be modified through environmental influences and learning. He advocated behavior therapy techniques like systematic desensitization to treat disordered behavior.
1) The auditory system allows for sound identification, localization, and communication. Sound is transduced by the ear and encoded by frequency and intensity in the cochlea's tonotopic map.
2) Hair cells in the inner ear detect sound vibrations and rapidly gate ion channels to encode sound. The brain retains maps of frequency to identify sounds and uses timing and frequency differences between ears to localize sound.
3) Higher order processing in the brain further analyzes auditory information for sound localization, identification of pitch and timbre, and auditory scene analysis.
Raymond Cattell developed a trait theory of personality based on factor analysis. He argued personality developed through 3 phases from intuitive insights to modern experimental methods. Cattell used factor analysis to identify 16 source traits measured by his 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire. These 16 factors could be further reduced to 5 second-order factors known as the Big Five: Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, and Openness. Cattell's research emphasized identifying heritable traits underlying personality.
This document provides an introduction to a survey of Philippine folk epics. It outlines the contents and objectives of the survey, which are to review materials on long heroic narratives found in the Philippines, determine their folk origins and epic characteristics, discover common features, indicate their number and availability, and provide summaries. It notes that only a few such epics were documented during the Spanish period, but fieldwork since the early 1900s has uncovered more examples, especially among non-Christian peoples. The introduction establishes criteria for defining Philippine folk epics.
The document discusses mental disorders, specifically focusing on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It provides definitions and descriptions of the disorders, including common signs and symptoms. For schizophrenia, it covers causes such as genetic and environmental factors, as well as effects on relationships, daily functioning, and increased suicide risk. For bipolar disorder, it describes the different types including mania, hypomania, depression, and rapid cycling, and the associated symptoms for each mood state. It also discusses the increased suicide risk during depressive phases of bipolar disorder.
The document discusses performance appraisals and their benefits for organizations, including helping make decisions about promotions and terminations. It also describes different types of performance appraisal systems and methods, such as graphic rating scales, forced distribution, critical incidents, and behaviorally anchored rating scales. Key factors in effective performance appraisals include rater training, employee acceptance of the process, and follow-up meetings to provide feedback and set goals.
This document provides guidance on cannulation and venepuncture procedures for clinicians. It covers legal and professional considerations, anatomy of veins, infection control procedures, potential complications, and step-by-step instructions for performing cannulation and venepuncture. The goals are to help clinicians understand how to properly insert intravenous cannulas and draw blood samples by needle venepuncture in accordance with best practices for patient safety and care.
Tracktrucks.in is a truck aggregator platform that aims to address issues in the Indian logistics industry like lack of transparency, real-time tracking and high costs. It connects transport companies, brokers, lorry owners and associations on a single online platform. Stakeholders can register for free and post load/truck requirements. Lorry owners can access business opportunities and track their fleets. The founders have extensive experience in logistics, IT and entrepreneurship. The startup plans to target top cities in states like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat which account for half of India's registered trucks. An initial marketing budget and team is proposed to register 1 lakh owners over 4 years. Financial projections estimate revenues
The experience your customers have with your products is a critical component of success. Valuable products can solve real human needs, fulfill desires, and improve the quality the of life. This goes beyond just building more features, or making things look pretty. It involves understanding and empathizing with your customers, and involving them in the design process.
How do we do this? And how do we do this in a way that fits into the operational rhythms of Agile development? These perspectives are shared by a long-time UX designer who has recently moved into Agile.
