Summary: Evaluation of the cybernetic personality model is proposed.
Model is developed by the researchers belonging to the Zagreb Psychology
School, and consists of six basic mechanisms: - for the regulation of
activity level (responsible for the set of behaviours described as
"extraversion-introversion") - for the regulation of organic functions
(conversive reactions and hypochondric personality pattern) - for the
regulation of defense reactions (anxiety, phobic and obsessive
reactions) - for the regulation of the attack reactions (agressive
reactions) - for the coordination of regulative functions (psychotic
reactions, dissociation within the personality system, dissociations of
the other systems - thinking, memory, motorics and emotion) - for the
integration into social field (internalization of the social norms,
responsible behaviour). Relations of the model with the other relevant
personality theories will be established. Hypotheses on the relations
within the model itself will be investigated. Relations of the model with
the conative and motoric mechanisms will be determined, as well as the
demographic differences on the described personality dimensions.
Ecosensitivity of the mechanisms defined by the model will also be
investigated. Furthermore, relations with the of values, the attitudes
and interests will be established, as well as with the psychopathological
and sociopathological symptoms. Some biological correlates will also be
investigated. In the course of the five years of planned research the data
will be collected on a sample of approximately 3000 subjects, dominantly
by psychometric approach. The work on the project will result in a book
and in the presentation of Zagreb Psychology School on the Conference of
the European Association for Personality Psychology, which is scheduled
to be held in Zagreb in 1998.
Keywords: personality, cybernetic model
Research goals: Basic purpose of the project is the systematic
evaluation of the cybernetic personality model. It consists of the
following tasks: - establishing the relations of the model with the
relevant personality theories, - testing the hypotheses on the relations
within the cybernetic model, - testing the relations of the model with
the conative and motoric mechanisms, - establishig the demographic
differences on the dimensions (i.e. differences related to age, sex,
culture etc.), - testing the ecosensitivity of the model dimensions, -
establishing the relations of the model with the value system, attitudes
and interests, - establishing the relations with the psychopathological
symptoms, - establishing some of the biological correlates, - testing the
model on some specific subpopulations (i.e. delinquents, athletes,
etc.), - construction of the appropriate instruments for the description
of the model. Regarding its structure and cybernetic approach, the model
is concurrent to the currently relevant personality models. After the
systematic and thorough evaluation, this model could achieve the
international recognition.
