Research Questions

Psychological preparedness is a term describing personal processes and capacity, including concern, anticipation, arousal, feeling, intentions, decision-making and management of one’s thought feeling and actions (Reser& Morrissey, 2009). In current study to construe the phenomenon of psychological preparedness among adult for specific short term and long term life events, episodes and stages. Research questions: (a) What does psychological preparedness constitute, (b) What are its personality correlates, (c) Can psychological preparedness be educated/trained or imbibed. (d) What is its predictive validity and (e) what are the criterion (intra and inter situation). To answer these research questions a sample of 200 adult shall be taken and personality correlates like resilience, mobility and liability of the nervous system, self-efficacy, time perspective and Bhagavad Gita’s concept Nishkam karma will be measured. A bilingual (Hindi & English) battery shall be prepared which can address questions and its psychometric properties shall be evaluated.

Neuroticism Scale

The purpose was to investigate family background and personality variables related to dominance-submissive behavior. 80 males and females interacted in a decision-making task, first with a partner of the same sex, then with a partner of the opposite sex. Ss were classified into one of 4 cells: dominant with both sexes (DD); dominant with same sex, submissive with opposite sex (DS); submissive with same sex, dominant with opposite sex (SD); submissive with both sexes (SS). Analyses of differences in responding to family background and personality inventories indicated that consistency in males was related to a highly structured family background, but consistency in females was related to a permissive family. Consistently submissive females reported much personal discomfort while submissive males did not. For both sexes those who were submissive to females scored highest on a neuroticism scale.

Observer Model

AbstractRahnev & Denison (R&D) argue against normative theories and in favor of a more descriptive “standard observer model” of perceptual decision making. We agree with the authors in many respects, but we argue that optimality (specifically, reward-rate maximization) has proved demonstrably useful as a hypothesis, contrary to the authors’ claims.

Bayesian Decision Making

AbstractThe target article uses a mathematical framework derived from Bayesian decision making to demonstrate suboptimal decision making but then attributes psychological reality to the framework components. Rahnev & Denison's (R&D) positive proposal thus risks ignoring plausible psychological theories that could implement complex perceptual decision making. We must be careful not to slide from success with an analytical tool to the reality of the tool components.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.
