Abstract. The Thematic Apperception Test is one of the most frequently administered apperceptive techniques. Formal scoring systems are helpful in evaluating story responses. TAT stories, made by 20 males and 20 females in the situation of legal divorce proceedings, were coded for detection and comparison of their personal problem solving ability. The evaluating instrument utilized was the Personal Problem Solving System-Revised (PPSS-R) as developed by G. F. Ronan. The results indicate that in relation to card 1, men more often than women saw the cause of the problem as removable. With card 6GF, women were more motivated to resolve the given problem than were men, women had a higher personal control and their stories contained more optimism compared to men’s stories. In relation to card 6BM women, more often than men, used emotions generated from the problem to orient themselves within the problem. With card 13MF, the men’s level of stress was less compared to that of the women, and men were more able to plan within the context of problem-solving. Significant differences in the examined groups were found in those cards which depicted significant gender and parental potentials. The TAT can be used to help identify personality characteristics and gender differences.

Special Meaning

A number of researchers have shown that the absence or misuse of a transitional object, e.g., a soft toy or blanket, with special meaning to a small child, is associated with later cognitive or character disorders. This paper shows that recall of a transitional object is related to personality characteristics of normal adolescents. These characteristics, the need for intimacy and need for affiliation, were measured by the Thematic Apperception Test administered to 102 11th graders. As expected, results indicated that need for intimacy was related both to recall of a special toy or object and to its softness, while need for affiliation was weakly related.

The balance between visual-spatial and verbal-logical thought may determine “mathematical casts of mind” that influence how an individual processes mathematical information. Thus, to investigate the role that spatial thinking plays in learning, problem solving, and gender differences in high school geometry, spatial thought was examined along with its counterpart verbal-logical thought. The results suggest that whereas males and females differed in spatial visualization and in their performance in high school geometry, they did not differ in logical reasoning ability or in their use of geometric problem-solving strategies. There was evidence of gender differences in profiles of those mental abilities that are important for geometry performance and of a teacher-by-gender interaction on geometry achievement.

This research is a qualitative research that aims to determine the profile of creativity in solving mathematical problems in terms of self-efficacy and gender in class X SMKN 4 Bone. The subjects in this study were X students of SMKN 4 Bone Pinrang which consisted of 4 subjects namely one male with high self-efficacy, one female with high self-efficacy, one male with low self-efficacy and one female with high self-efficacy. - low efficacy. The instrument used is the researcher himself as the main instrument assisted by self-efficacy tests, math problem solving tests and interviews designed to suit creativity. Data was collected by means of task analysis and interviews. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis techniques. The results of the study show that: 1) the profile of creativity in solving math problems of high self-efficacy male students are: a) at the stage of formulating problems, high self-efficacy male students are able to interpret the problem by illustrating what is known in the form of pictures according to their understanding through writing. b) at the stage of planning problem solving, high self-efficacy male students are able to plan appropriate ideas or methods that will be used to answer the given problem, c) at the stage of generating problems, self-efficacy male students students with high self-efficacy are able to do calculations through ideas or previously planned methods. 2) the profile of creativity in solving mathematical problems of female students with high self-efficacy are: a) at the stage of formulating problems, female students with high self-efficacy are able to collect and organize information to understand problems according to their understanding through writing, b) at the stage of planning problem solving, female students with high self-efficacy are able to plan ideas or appropriate methods that will be used to answer problems, c) at the stage of producing, female students with high self-efficacy are able to answer problems through ideas that are planned as before. 3) the profile of creativity in solving mathematical problems of male students with low self-efficacy are: a) at the stage of formulating problems, male students with low self-efficacy are able to collect and organize information to understand the problem, b) at the planning stage, students boys with low self-efficacy are able to plan ideas, c) at the stage of generating, male students with low self-efficacy are able to do the correct calculations through formulas or previously planned methods. 4) the profile of creativity in problem solving in female students with low self-efficacy: a) at the stage of formulating, women with low self-efficacy do not understand the problem as a whole because they only quote the information written in the questions, b) at the planning stage, women with low self-efficacy has not been able to plan the right ideas or methods that will be used to answer the given problems, c) at the generating stage, women with low self-efficacy are not able to do calculations correctly through ideas or methods. pre-planned way.

Abstrak. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif yang bersifat kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis ditinjau dari kemampuan awal matematika dan perbedaan gender. Subjek penelitian ini adalah enam orang siswa Keenam siswa dipilih berdasarkan nilai Tes Kemampuan Matematika yang terbagi dalam kategori tinggi, sedang, dan rendah dengan dua orang masing-masing satu laki-laki dan satu perempuan yang mewakili tiap tingkatan kemampuan matematika pada materi SPLDV dengan mengambil nilai tertiggi dari tiap kategori kemampuan. Keenam subjek diberikan TesKemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematika I dan TesKemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematika II dalam waktu yang berbeda.
