P Factor

Recent research has suggested that a range of psychological disorders may stem from a single underlying common factor, which has been dubbed the p-factor. This finding may spur a line of research in psychopathology very similar to the history of factor modeling in intelligence and, more recently, personality research, in which similar general factors have been proposed. We point out some of the risks of modeling and interpreting general factors, derived from the fields of intelligence and personality research. We argue that: (a) factor-analytic resolution, i.e., convergence of the literature on a particular factor structure, should not be expected in the presence of multiple highly similar models; and (b) the true underlying model may not be a factor model at all, because alternative explanations can account for the correlational structure of psychopathology.

History Of

Personality is typically thought to be stable and possess consistency over time and across situations. Personality is also referred to as individual differences or distinctiveness. The study of personality has a long history in psychology, and after a lull in sport psychology research on personality, it has become more prevalent in research with able-bodied athletes and athletes with disabilities. This chapter discusses the history of personality research in sport psychology. The most common personality model, the Big Five factors, used in research today is explained and the five factors defined. Researchers have also examined personality-trait-like individual differences (PTLID) such as grit, hardiness, resilience, sensation seeking, and perfectionism. The chapter addresses how an acquired disability has the potential to change certain facets of personality while other personality factors can help athletes cope with an acquired disability and maintain their mental health.

This is the sixth volume of a ten-volume series on The Natural History of the Crustacea. The volume synthesizes in nineteen chapters our current understanding of diverse topics in crustacean reproductive biology. The first part of the volume address allocation strategies to reproduction, gamete production, brooding behavior and other components of parental care in crustaceans. The second part of the volume centers on sexual systems in crustaceans. The third section of the volume covers crustacean mating systems and sexual selection. The volume ends with three chapters covering diverse topics including reproductive rhythms, and crustacean personality research, and record breaking crustaceans with respect to reproductive characters. Collectively, these nineteen chapters provide an integrative and comprehensive treatment of crustacean reproductive biology from gamete formation to mating and reproductive strategies and their evolutionary and ecological consequences.

The aim - to develop a model for predicting the formation of borderline mental disorders (BMD) in combatants. The results of an experimental psychological study on the basic scales of the Standardized Multifactorial Method of Personality Research (SMMP) of 643 male combatants were analyzed. All respondents were divided into two groups by level of mental health: Group I - 338 people-healthy employees, Group II gr. - 305 persons, where there is a history of BMD were detected that arose after participating in the fighting. Analysis of premorbid profile of SMMP respondents Group II described an excitable type of personality with straightforwardness, categorical, perseverance, perseverance, lack of flexibility in behavior, with a gradual accumulation of discontent, which is manifested by an explosion of affect and aggression. On the basis of the basic scales of SMMP, the equations of the forecast of formation of BMD at combatants were developed. It is shown that the accuracy of the prediction of the formation of BMD in combatants only on the basis of indicators of SMMP scales is 77.0%, therefore, to improve the accuracy, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive diagnostic model, including psychosocial factors of anamnesis, taking into account the conditions of development and formation of personality.
