The psychoanalytic theory of personality was developed by Sigmund Freud in the late 19th century, and has developed since then into a mode of investigation that uses the interactions between the conscious and unconscious mind as a framework to determine the source of psychological attributes and problems (Lazarus et al., 2014). In essence, this theory of personality dictates that human behavior is often irrational and governed by subconscious forces that cannot be strictly controlled. By investigating these impulses and the motivations behind them, it is possible to better understand ourselves and address our potential issues. The way psychoanalysis is ...

Personality tests have been used for a long period to evaluate the psychological makeup of individuals. The validity and reliability of the various personality tests has been the subject of protracted debates especially along the lines of objective and projective tests. Objective tests have been thought to be more reliable than projective ones (Gregory, 2007). Overall, personality tests have been criticized because the individual undertaking them can give ambiguous generalizations that could apply to any person. MMPI and the Rorschach Inkblot Technique are among the most prominent personality tests.

As to the term itself, it has a rather broad interpretation. For instance, if we speak about the most developed countries, the global imbalances may be described as an over-hyped financial sector if we compare it to the real economic situation. In its turn, the financial sector is characterized by permanently increasing investment in operations with derivative financial instruments (Krugman, 2009). Moreover, on a global scale, the imbalances reflect the difference of growth rates between developed and developing countries, uneven distribution of natural resources as well as of reserves of labor between countries, and so on (Krugman, 2009).

The kind of childhood we had inevitably influences the kind of adults we become. Those who consider themselves failures or successes in life attribute most of this to their upbringing. Their experiences in school and the society around them shape their attitudes towards life and even influence their career choice.

She tells the story of her life with nostalgia, reflection, and humor, intended to keep her target audience captivated with ...

1. Minnesota Multiphase Personality Inventory MMPI is an intensively researched, taught, and often used personality assessment tool. Most authors agree that that it is a meta-analytical review to demonstrate substantial reliability and good convergent validity.

Butcher (2014) state that when clinicians face conflicts in the use of Rorschach and MMPI they should make a decision that emphasize on certain aspects of test findings ...

Since I was a kid, it has been hard for me to fit in to social groups. Until today, I find it hard to find even a single person who connects with me, or understands me, except my psychiatrist. Although I said that I don’t socialize because people don’t usually understand me, my psychiatrist says that I have a schizotypal personality disorder, and it explains why I don’t usually fit in or socialize (Butcher, Hooley and Mineka, 336). Also, it explains my – like some people call it – weird behaviors. Since, I don’t usually socialize, I’m just here ...

However, the butcher said that if it is constantly sharpened, the blade might easily break because it will lose its thickness and soon it will no longer be useful and the average ...

Most psychologists attest to the potential of computers as powerful tools to test methods during psychological assessments. The introduction of computers in the 1950s was found to be very significant in facilitating scores, data management and analysis of results. In this review article, Butcher and colleagues (2004) aim to discuss the history and state of personality and neuropsychological tests that are processed through computers and how such method may be both helpful and problematic in the interpretation of the assessments of psychological data. Further, some issues regarding test interpretations through the computer were also emphasized along with the problems ...

The play, after opening upon the three witches in a sinister ...

Some small businesses didn’t always have to compete against giant corporations. At one time, they were the main hub for products in town. For instance, during the days of black and white television and phonographs (before the cassette players for music), Bob’s Butcher Shop was the only place in the neighborhood to get fresh cuts of steak and pork chops. Small businesses were the heartbeat of the neighborhood. Who could forget about Papa Lucci’s Pizza on 4th street or the burgers and fries by the jukebox at the Miller’s Malt Shop? Small business challenges back ...

Introduction

Since the beginning years of personality research, most researchers have frequent recourse to personality ratings as a primary form of data in their empirical studies to assess and examine individual differences in personality characteristics. This immediate mobilization of personality judgments as well as ratings is understandable in most cases because the format mimics the use of trait adjectives and related terms in describing persons in everyday social life. Persons can be known by the impression they make on others as well as the descriptions others render on them. Human observers are sensitive instruments for not only monitoring but also interpreting ...

Supply Chain Management (SCM) and logistics are often used interchangeably in the management of activities and processes that ensure products efficiently move from the suppliers to the end consumers. Individually, SCM is defined as the management of interconnected network of businesses that are involved in the supply of products to an end user (Mangan, Lalwani & Butcher, 2008).

Colors, character’s position, their attitude, their dress code, their faces, the lights, the backgrounds represent stylistic tools that both Nicolas Poussin and Isak van Ostade use for expressing a meaning. They use all these elements as metaphors, symbols for their understanding of the family life. While Poussin reflects at the purity and chastity of the Holy Family, focusing on the infant Jesus Christ and his mother Maria for emphasizing the idea of how a normal, loving family should look like, Isak van Ostade targets other specificities of human kind, representing another side of humans, which is cruelty, vulgarity, and savage, ...

John Updike’s story ‘A & P’ was first appeared in ‘The New Yorker’ on July 22, 1961. Even now, fifty years later, it still is, despite its extreme brevity, perhaps even because of it, his most frequently anthologized short story and, one might assume, one of his most appreciated and valued. It is a story in which plot, point of view and character are intermingled.

The plot is very simple. Three scantily clad young women arrive at the local A & P, and cause a stir because they are dressed for the beach. The other shoppers are shocked, but the ...

John Updike’s short story ‘A & P’ was first published in ‘The New Yorker’ on July 22, 1961. Even now, fifty years on, it still, despite its brevity, or perhaps because of it, his most frequently anthologized short story and, one would assume, one of his most widely enjoyed and read. This essay will analyze the popular appeal of ‘A &P’ and reach a justified conclusion about why it carries on being read so widely and with such apparent gusto and interest.

Above all, Macbeth is a study of the psychology of two central characters (Macbeth and his wife) react as individuals and as a couple to the psychological trauma of their evil deeds. In the course of the action, Macbeth frequently misconstrues the guilt that he feels as simply being a question of fear. As a warrior, this self-delusion works because he thinks that he knows no fear and it leads directly to his response to his guilt and his ...
