Rapid Gist Perception of Meaningful Real-Life Scenes: Exploring Individual and Gender Differences in Multiple Categorization Tasks

In this paper literature examples of innoversity are reviewed and personal experience gained in innoversity is shared. Recent developments include e-learning and involving challenged people in activities over the quarantine. Relying on his empirical knowledge, the author provides useful methodological hints to leaders of interdisciplinary projects, where diversity is always present, and creative teamwork is mandatory. Diversity may be manyfold, including different expertise at different education levels, ethnic, cultural, and gender differences, which all need to be leveraged for successfully completing the undertaking within the timeline. Applying the cooperative methodology described in this paper, various projects may become successful, by providing a real-life example of how to get individuals to operate as a team, rather than being focused on outperforming each other. This paper represents an in extenso version of a preliminary publication in Academia Letters (https://www.academia.edu/45165100/Innoversity_Applied_to_a_Student_Team).

And Gender

Summary: Hare's Psychopathy Checklist - Revised (PCL-R; Hare, 1991 ) was originally constructed for use among males in correctional and forensic settings. In this study, the PCL-R protocols of 36 matched pairs of female and male violent offenders were examined with respect to gender differences. The results indicated a few significant differences. By means of discriminant analysis, male Ss were distinguished from their female counterparts through their relatively higher scores on “callous/lack of empathy” (item 8) and “juvenile delinquency” (item 18), whereas the female Ss scored relatively higher on “promiscuous sexual behavior” (item 11). Some sources of bias and possible implications are discussed.

The Given

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.
