Methods of personality and group study /part 11/
Everyone tested according to gender and age, 20 experiments in two sessions are usually offered during the experiment. For each of the paintings shown, the investigated person must in a free narrative: describe what he thinks of the picture; to tell him what has contributed to the emergence of the situation; to tell the experiences of the depicted persons; to imagine what the people depicted in the paintings think. The stories of the investigated person are recorded verbatim. It is desirable to use a hidden camcorder but also a tape recorder.
It has been found that such a free-oriented association best reveals both the peculiarities of behavior and the system of acts in which we most often judge in life the characteristics of the personality, its properties and peculiarities; - a method of examining the reactions of frustration - designed to investigate the possible reactions of people in a state of frustration. In the quality of stimulating research material, different drawings are depicted depicting most often conflicting situations arising in life. The research material consists of 24 drawings, where depicted persons in frustration on the left half of the drawing pronounce words describing their own or another person's frustration, and the right part of the character drawing is left blank square in which the subject writes his answer.
The situations that are available in the methodology can be subdivided into two main groups: ego-blocking situations; "super-blocking" situations. This test can be used for both a person and a group of people; - method of incomplete sentences - refers to the group of projection methods, the general for which is the need for verbal completion. The investigator alone completes the sentence proposed to him in the test. The method is implemented in two variants: characterized by high regulation, the research chooses variants of proposals for completing the sentence; offering incomplete sentences and research at their own discretion ends them. The method may be available for one or a group of people. Through it, the mahogany is revealed by the unconscious of the person's values, experiences, and so on. The assessment of the study can be done both quantitatively and qualitatively. The widespread use of projective methods is that they can reveal and collect data about the intimate personality in an indirect way. However, these methods can not be considered as sufficient means for the complete study and description of the individual.
Experimental study of group and interpersonal relations - sociometry is called the measurement of interpersonal relations in the group. Founder of sociometry is the American social psychologist J. Moreno, according to which the group of interpersonal relations in the group constitutes this primary socio-psychic structure whose characteristics largely determine not only the overall nature of the group but also the mental state of its members. Tasks of the study. The sociometric method is used to diagnose interpersonal relationships and it is known that each contact group is born on the basis of some common activity and needs of the people, and that in each group of people there is a certain structure of relationships between them. Along with the formal (formal) structure of relations between the members of the group, a system of informal (non-formal) relationships is built, based on the emotional nature of human communication and interaction. Namely, exploring these relationships is the main practical task of sociometry. The most general task of sociometry is the study of the informal structural aspect of the group and of the socio-psychic climate prevailing therein.Somometric procedure.
