ASSIGNMENT FOR CHAPTER 3 ASSESSING DIAGNOSING ABNORMALITY
Psychological testing is multipurpose activity aimed at assessing and diagnosing psychological illness and determining the effectiveness of selected treatment. Typically, four methods are used for psychological assessment clinical interview for clinical admission, intellectual testing for intellectual functioning, assessment of personality and behavioral appropriateness
This point does not require further elaboration that human being is the primary source of information in psychological testingenriched with subjectivity and biasness. Darwins theory of individual differences carries a great significance here each human being is different from othershis thinking, feelings, sensations, perceptions, attitudes, outlooks, orientations, problem solving, decision-making, personality and coping follow holistically distinctive patterns. Hence, each individual undergoing assessment may perceive and attribute actions, objects and situations differently, due to which there is no universally accepted system for verifying human cognitive and behavioral diversity.
Discuss two challenges in assessing an adult.
Two challenges while assessing an adult client are as follows
Manipulation Human being is a social animal with the constant urge of attaining social approval and desirability. Psychological illness is something relatively undesirable for society. For that matter, he may try to transform his responses, molding them deliberately and synchronizing with what society expects him to have. Due to this, client may provide wrong and misleading information about his attributes.
Reserved attitude Some individuals under their introversion influence feel reluctant to disclose their thoughts, feelings, opinions and life experiences due to which psychologist finds it hard to grab valuable and desired information from them. Poor rapport building is another cause of individual not unveiling his personality.
Discuss at least 3 challenges encountered when assessing children.
Poor rapport building some juvenile clients e.g., autistic and attention deficit children typically do not feel like understanding the purpose of assessment and seem as if not listening at all. This is the biggest challenge because it hampers further processing.
Antisocial approach Children are undergoing moral development rather than possessing fully developed moral values and normative beliefs at this life stage. Avoidance of punishment is the basic motivator that compels them to act appropriatelysuggested by Vygotsky. Some children particularly with conduct disorder do not fear punishment hence it is quite hard to handle them.
Lack of retrospection At that stage, children are unable to retrospect and understand their thinking, feelings, opinions and perspectives
Evaluators often rely on the childs parents to obtain information about the childs problems. What issues might the evaluator confront when dealing with the parents Discuss at least 3.
Lacking understanding Parents cannot fully understand what their child is up-to, what he feels and why he behaves certain ways.
Social desirability Parents do not want their children to get banished from the society therefore they transform most of their actions in relation to childs personality and conduct.
Concealing family or child-parent conflicts Parental conflicts maybe the underlying reason for childs problems which they may conceal deliberately.
What challenges might be encountered when using teachers or other school personnel as sources of information about a childs problems
Teacher is having limited interaction with his students therefore he might fill the information gaps based on the confined impressions he gets.
Teacher might get influenced by what other students say about him, which might be lopsided
Teachers personal attributes might influence his perception about the child
Teacher may generalize his classroom behavior over his outside-the-classroom personality
What challenges in assessment arise when there are significant cultural differences between the assessor and the person being assessed
The concept of behavioral appropriateness is highly culture specific in nature. For example, in certain cultures avoiding eye contact may be considered as a sign of respect while assessor might consider it a sign of deception. Such issues make it hard for the assessor to assess the culturally different person.
