the assumption that phenomena have causes that can be discovered by empirical research
neurotransmitter causes of experience
thoughts that influence moods and choices
Determinism:
Examples:

indirect methods open-ended questions, i.e., “What would you look for in an
ideal job?” projective tests, i.e., inkblots
behavioral measures How often does the person choose to spend time alone
instead of with other people? How often does the student turn in assignments late?

Methods in Personality Research
research strategy that manipulates a cause to determine its effect
manipulating exposure to television violence to determine effect on aggressive behavior
subliminal exposure to stimuli to determine effect on symptoms
Experimental research:
Examples:
![Page 29: 51127152 Theories of Personality Ppt](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062219/553cbcfb550346bd418b4b76/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Prepared to accompany Theories of Personality (5th ed.) by Susan C. Cloninger (2008), published by Prentice Hall, Inc. All rights reserved.
Methods in Personality Research
Manipulate the variable thought to be a “cause,” called the “independent variable.”
for example, violent vs. nonviolent TV experimental group watches violent TV control group watches nonviolent TV
Everything constant except the cause Random assignment to control 3rd variables Does the “effect” (dependent variable)
change?
Experimental research:
