Personality Research and Psychophysiology: General Considerations
نویسنده
چکیده
A general discussion of psychophysiological methods in relationship to personality research is presented for the investigator without an extensive knowledge of psychophysiology. The paper is organized in four sections: (a) advantages inherent in the use of psychophysiological measures (e.g .. continuous measurement. sensitivity to subliminal responses): (b) psychophysiological constructs that are particularly well suited to personality research (e.g .. different kinds of physiological arousal. normal/pathological distinctions. perceptual states): Ie) how (0 choose a set of psychophysiological measures and special considerations involved with their use (e.g .. obtrusivene,s. context and timing of measurement. co,t,. and capabilitie,J: and (d) whether or not to "psychophy,iologil.e·· personality rc,earch. Within each ,ection. illustrative applications of p,ychophy,iology to personality research are de,cribed.

متن کاملAn event-related brain potential study of schizotypal personality and associative semantic processing.
To examine whether schizotypal personality is associated with the degree to which concepts activate each other in semantic memory, event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded during a delayed lexical decision task from healthy volunteers rated for schizotypy. Each target word was directly, indirectly, or not at all related to a prime word preceding it at a 300- or 750-ms stimulus-onset ...
