Description
Summary:碩士 === 銘傳大學 === 諮商與工商心理學系碩士班 === 105 === Usually we can not only use the personality traits to predict career performance, academic achievement or job satisfaction, and so on, but are interested in exploring the general personality profile of each professional occupation. And yet, we haven’t seen it in psychologists and psychological interns so forth. Although some authors in textbooks would suggest what kind of people might be suitable for being a psychologist, however there is no personality test in admissions of the Master's program in psychology to select the “proper” psychological candidates, nor other practice. The five factor model (FFM) is one of the most popular theories of personality, and also is the theoretical basis of personality disorders in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed. [DSM-IV]). The big five inventory-44 (BFI-44-AC) is developed from FFM and widely used in research, while the ten items of personality inventory (TIPI) is the shortest one for reducing the respondent's impatience. However, the DSM-5 advocates a new diagnostic model for personality disorders and introduces the measure, i.e., personality inventory for DSM-5-brief-form-adult (PID-5-BF-A). The purpose of this study is to establish the personality profile of psychologists and psychological interns with the big five inventory-44-Chinese version (BFI-44-CV), ten items personality inventory-Chinese version (TIPI-CV) and personality inventory for DSM-5-brief-form-adult-Chinese version (PID-5-BF-ACV) in Republic of China, and compare the pictures in three different measures. A total of 117 participants in counseling and clinical psychology were recruited. They consistently show similar profiles in three instruments with high conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness in the BFI-44-CV and TIPI-CV, while low negative affectivity, detachment, disinhibition, antagonism, and psychoticism in PID-5-BF-ACV. The implications of the results are further discussed.
