How SADI & SHARE help restore the Scientific Method to in silico scienceMark Wilkinson
This is my presentation to the Bio Open Source Convention (BOSC) in Boston, July 2010. I start with a brief status-update on the BioMoby project and then launch into a series of demonstrations of it's successor - SADI + SHARE. Rather than discussing how SADI/SHARE work, I focus the discussion on what role I think these technologies can play in bringing the traditional "scientific method" back into in silico biology.

Historically, the personality has been studied for over 2,000 years. Galen built on hippocrate’s theory of the 4 humors
Explains normal and abnormal behavior
Unconscius drives influenced by sex and aggression along with childhood sexuality influence personality
We are social beings, social connectedness is important. Saw developed as through social development vs sexual development
Conscious vs unconscious
We are social beings, social connectedness is important. Saw developed as through social development vs sexual development
Conscious vs unconscious
Erikson’s psychosocial development theory emphasizes the social nature of our development.
He also believed that development was lifelong and did not end with childhood.
Erikson proposed that we are motivated by a need to achieve competence in certain areas of our lives. The 8 stages in his theory focus on a conflict or task that must be resolved in that stage.
Focus is on working to balance opposing foces of conscious and unconscious thought, experience within one’s personality
Represented by symbols such as the maiden, hero and trickster. These are part of the unconscious aspects of self and must be integrated into integrated into the self as part of the self-realization period.
the enduring, consistent behavior patterns studied by personality theorists
These interactions may include:
Traumatic life experiences
Lessons from your parents and teachers
Lessons from movies, TV and other forms of media
Relationships
A person may be on time for work every day, not because they want to or because they are in general a punctual person, but they may just be terrified of losing their job and not having any money. Sometimes, people choose to sacrifice their values and larger personality for wants, needs, and desires.
sider, for example, that you’re at a festival and one of the attractions is bungee jumping from a bridge. Do you do it? In this example, the behavior is bungee jumping. Cognitive factors that might influence this behavior include your beliefs and values, and your past experiences with similar behaviors. Finally, context refers to the reward structure for the behavior. According to reciprocal determinism, all of these factors are in play
Self-efficacy affects how we approach challenges and reach goals. In observational learning, self-efficacy is a cognitive factor that affects which behaviors we choose to imitate as well as our success in performing those behaviors.
Situational
People who have high self-efficacy believe that their goals are within reach, have a positive view of challenges seeing them as tasks to be mastered, develop a deep interest in and strong commitment to the activities in which they are involved, and quickly recover from setbacks. Conversely, people with low self-efficacy avoid challenging tasks because they doubt their ability to be successful, tend to focus on failure and negative outcomes, and lose confidence in their abilities if they experience setbacks. Feelings of self-efficacy can be specific to certain situations. For instance, a student might feel confident in her ability in English class but much less so in math class.
Marshmallow test
ischel found that the data did not support the central principle of the field—that a person’s personality traits are consistent across situations. His report triggered a decades-long period of self-examination, known as the person-situation debate, among personality psychologists.
Mischel designed a study to assess self-regulation in young children. In the marshmallow study, Mischel and his colleagues placed a preschool child in a room with one marshmallow on the table. The child was told that he could either eat the marshmallow now, or wait until the researcher returned to the room and then he could have two marshmallows (Mischel, Ebbesen & Raskoff, 1972).
Performance predicted high school success, SAT scores, lower levels of abuse, etc.
Turns out though that more recent research shows that these can also be attributed to SES differences- this does not lead to differences in SES, SES leads to differences in will power
rgues that these perspectives do not recognize the depth and meaning of human experience, and fail to recognize the innate capacity for self-directed change and transforming personal experiences
High congruence leads to a greater sense of self-worth and a healthy, productive life.
Conversely, when there is a great discrepancy between our ideal and actual selves, we experience a state Rogers called incongruence, which can lead to maladjustment. Both Rogers’s and Maslow’s theories focus on individual choices and do not believe that biology is deterministic.
Nature vs Nurture, we’ve covered nurture extensively so far, now we are going to discuss the biological basis of personality
Reactivity refers to how we respond to new or challenging environmental stimuli; self-regulation refers to our ability to control that response (Rothbart & Derryberry, 1981; Rothbart, Sheese, Rueda, & Posner, 2011)
Ectomorphs are thin with a small bone structure and very little fat on their bodies. According to Sheldon, the ectomorph personality is anxious, self-conscious, artistic, thoughtful, quiet, and private. They enjoy intellectual stimulation and feel uncomfortable in social situations
ndomorphs are the opposite of ectomorphs. Endomorphs have narrow shoulders and wide hips, and carry extra fat on their round bodies. Sheldon described endomorphs as being relaxed, comfortable, good-humored, even-tempered, sociable, and tolerant. Endomorphs enjoy affection and detest disapproval.
esomorphs have large bone structure, well-defined muscles, broad shoulders, narrow waists, and attractive, strong bodies. According to Sheldon, mesomorphs are adventurous, assertive, competitive, and fearless. They are curious and enjoy trying new things, but can also be obnoxious and aggressive.
Allport: He organized these personality traits into three categories: cardinal traits, central traits, and secondary traits. A cardinal trait is one that dominates your entire personality, Central traits are those that make up our personalities (such as loyal, kind, agreeable, friendly, sneaky, wild, and grouchy). Secondary traits are those that are not quite as obvious or as consistent as central traits. They are present under specific circumstances and include preferences and attitudes
Researchers have found that conscientiousness increases through young adulthood into middle age, as we become better able to manage our personal relationships and careers (Donnellan & Lucas, 2008). Agreeableness also increases with age, peaking between 50 to 70 years (Terracciano, McCrae, Brant, & Costa, 2005). Neuroticism and extroversion tend to decline slightly with age (Donnellan & Lucas; Terracciano et al.)
In the Five Factor Model, each person has five traits, each scored on a continuum from high to low. In the center column, notice that the first letter of each trait spells the mnemonic OCEAN.
