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.
