In this learning personality paper Team D, will analyze the strengths and limitations of learning theories when explaining individual leaning behaviors. An assessment of how learning theories affect individual personalities will also be included. Interpersonal relationships and how learning theories may or may not affect the individual will be examined. The learning theories propose that behavior is learned through your environment and what you see around you. The theory believes individuals are born as tabula rasa, which means a blank slate. Although born a “blank slate” the response to stimuli which include pleasure or pain are evident. These theories do not believe in innate nature or automatic personality structure. The influences that the environment has on behavior can be studied and therefore the impact on the personalities can be measured. Theorists are able to control environmental influences which make it easier to manipulate the variables for laboratory testing. Laboratory testing is important when trying to change a psychological theory into a scientific method. The learning theorists believe an individual personality is affected by environmental influences and learned...

...preference can impact organizational ethics. Human resources is the core component of any organization, therefore their behavior and attitude, or preference can seriously impact the ethics of an organization. This section of this paper is going to cover the impact of personal differences, and preferences on the ethics of any organization. According to Griffin (2009), “when you go into any job, no matter where you are in the world you will come across a multitude of individual differences and preferences, so an individual difference does not affect the individual alone, but everyone around them in an organization.” In an organization, there is no way an individual can be treated the same way as the other employees because everyone’s personality is difference. “Perhaps one employee has a dynamic personality and prefers being the center of attention in every discussion, whereas others avoid crowd and enjoy being alone.” (Griffin, 2009) However, that would be the personality that represents the overall profile of stable psychological attributes which captures the unique nature of that individual. Personality combines a set of physical and mental characteristics that reflect how a person looks, thinks, acts and feels. Therefore, trying to understand another person’s action is considered reading the person, which may or may not be right in an organization. Leaders or groups should not try to change or otherwise directly control employee personality, because trying...

...Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder Introduction Throughout our society, many people suffer from some type of personality disorders. Personality disorders make up approximately 15% of the general population and generally appear during late childhood or late teens. In addition, personality disorders can continue for the rest of a person’s life. One particular personality disorder that will be discussed throughout this paper will be “Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).” According to Phillipson (n.d), OCPD is a “pervasive characterological disturbance involving one’s generalized style and beliefs in the way one relates to themselves and the world.” Persons who suffer with OCPD are usually rigid in their dysfunctional beliefs and fully see their way of acting or doing things as the “right” way. Their general style of connecting to their environment or surroundings is developed through their own firm standards. OCPD must not be confused with OCD. Although they both are compulsive disorders, they are characterized differently with different meaning. An example of OCD would be someone who compulsively washing their hands, while on the other hand, a person with OCPD is inflexible and does not like it when the way of doing things is disrupted. As this paper unfold, we will examine and discuss the relationship between human development and socialization and how this relationship impacts obsessive compulsive personality disorder in accordance with the DSM-IV classification...

This paper will have the in-depth research-based on the commonality of all the articles which is inclusive of personality and behavior traits as well as embracing the management philosophy portraying a functional method to detect prospective leaders. It is not an ironclad method which envisages who will direct or by what method will he or she direct. These articles give a concept into the methods to effect or utilize a particular description of successful management. However the conception of an effective leader is biased, which makes it challenging to visibly describe what characteristics and qualities cause somebody to be an effective administrator or leader. There is also not any unanimity concluded as to which traits are largely significant for those in chief positions such as leaders and administrators to have. Although some view character traits like self-confidence and inspiration, others contemplate natural traits like individuals size to be more important. This paper is a synthesis analysis of three research articles that explored leadership styles, individual’s temperaments, perception of themselves...

Goffin b a Richard Ivey School of Business, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada, N6A 3K7 b Department of Psychology, University of Western Ontario, Canada Abstract With an eye toward research and practice, this article reviews and evaluates main trends that have contributed to the increasing use of personality assessment in personnel selection. Research on the ability of personality to predict job performance is covered, including the Five Factor Model of personality versus narrow personality measures, meta-analyses of personality–criterion relationships, moderator effects, mediator effects, and incremental validity of personality over other selection testing methods. Personality and team performance is also covered. Main trends in contemporary research on the extent to which applicant “faking” of personality tests poses a serious threat are explicated, as are promising approaches for contending with applicant faking such as the “faking warning” and the forced-choice method of personality assessment. Finally, internet-based assessment of personality and computer adaptive personality testing are synopsized. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Library impact research demonstrates that collaboration is essential in maximizing the positive impact of the library media programs on student achievement and school success. Unfortunately, both the organizational structure and the culture in most schools discourage collaborative efforts among faculty members. Research results indicate that students develop higher quality information literacy skills when instruction on those skills is integrated with subject matter itself is similarly enhanced. (Hartzell, 2007 p3). One area of school librarianship often neglected in discussion of library functions is how the librarian can assist in helping, “In collaboration there are many advantages and disadvantages. There are three advantages that you should focus on, collaboration offers a wide expertise and skills than just one writer may possess. The responsibility is wider spread, both allowing more members to shine with their accomplishments and removing the burden on just one person to produce a polished document.” Collaboration offers the opportunities. Knowing that two people are not exactly alike when it comes to writing habits, would help out immensely when it comes to writing a collaborative paper. Each person could interject their own styles into the paper, showcasing their knowledge...
