An approach for the development of dynamical tool of personality assessment based on the interactionistic viewpoint

现代互动论提出的研究范式在人格研究中的重要性已得到许多学者的认可。然而，到目前为止，还没有有效的评估工具的相互作用的研究。在本研究中，我们开发了一种动态的人格评估方法，采用“小鼠范式”（Vallacher，et.艾尔1994年）。Vallacher认为，个人心理的接近-回避倾向反映在一个人在电脑屏幕上的鼠标移动上。从这些运动中发现了几个指标（坐标、距离和速度）。本研究假设，如果目标刺激呈现在情境中，人格的互动性动态可以通过这些指标来测量。第一至第三项研究的重点是动态指标（鼠标指数）和人格的自我评价之间的关系。受试者在条件下移动鼠标光标， ...更多信息 情境（关系）术语在PC屏幕上不断变化。动态指数分别从这些运动计算。两个刺激情境之间的相关性表明了这些指标的稳定性。然而，自我评价（大五）和动态指数只有轻微的相关性。因此，进行了另外两项研究。在第四个研究中，我们使用EPPS项目作为小鼠运动的刺激。结果表明，动态指标与EPPS自评结果具有高度的相关性。同时，受试者参加了另一项采用经验抽样法的研究。他们每天根据手机信号回答四次情绪量表（GACL）。因素分析得出三个情感方面。各动态指标之间的总分和标准差均呈显著相关。研究五采用十二种情境组合测量六个被试的主观幸福感动态指标。结果表明，这些指标还分别与幸福感自评量表和情绪量表相关。这些发现表明，我们的新工具对于测量人格动力学是有用的。少

The importance of the research paradigm proposed by the modern interactionism has been acknowledged in many recent personality studies. However, no valid assessment tools for the interactionistic studies have been devised until now. In this research, we developed a dynamic method of the personality assessment by using the "mouse paradigm" (Vallacher, et. Al., 1994). Vallacher suggested that the approach-avoidance tendency of an individual mentality was reflected in one's movements of the mouse on the PC screen. Several indices have been found from these movements (coordinates, distance, and speed). We hypothesized that the interactionistic dynamics of personality could be measured by these indices, if the target stimulus presented contextually.In this research, five experimental studies were conducted. First to third studies were focused on the relationship between the dynamic indices (mouse indices) and the self-ratings of personality. Subjects moved the mouse cursor under the conditi … More ons that the situational (relational) terms had continuously changed on the PC screen. Dynamic indices were calculated from these movements individually. The correlations between two stimulus contexts showed the stability of these indices. However, self-ratings (Big Five) and dynamic indices correlated only slightly. Therefore, two other studies were conducted. In fourth study, we used the EPPS items for the stimulus of the mouse movements. The dynamic indices getting from the procedure showed high correlations with self-ratings on EPPS. In the same time, subjects participated another research which used the experience sampling method. They answered emotional scales (GACL) four times per day according to a signal from cell-phone. Three emotional aspects were elicited by factor analysis. The total scores and the standard deviation scores of these aspects showed significant correlations among the dynamic indices respectively. Fifth study was conducted to measure the dynamic indices of the subjective well-being under the six persons by twelve situations combinations. The results showed these indices also correlated respectively with the self-rating well-being and the emotional scales. These finding suggested that our new tools were useful for measuring personality dynamics. Less
