Question

Using the paragraph below, how could i rework it making the statement a proper introduction and literature review? I must include participants, instruments, procedure, and ethical issues and how to solve them. I thought i had included some of those things, but according to my grade i did not include any.

According to the five-factor model, Introversion and Extraversion form two extremes of the first

factor. This factor is scaled based on the person’s sociability, aggressiveness and emotional

expression. Depending on these measures, an introverted individual might be classified because they tend to lean more towards being quiet,

reserved and withdrawn. Similarly, an extroverted individual would lean towards being outgoing,

sociable and seeking adventure. Even in the MBTI scale, introversion and extraversion are the

first of the four markers that might determine an individual’s personality. Although it might seem like a good idea to predict the success of a marriage

based on an individual’s level of sociability and their comfort level with outdoor activities, it is

essential to remember that these markers are not an “all” or “nothing” situation. These are simply scales where an individual might have different

levels of sociability. For instance, one might find an extroverted individual who likes a good house party but hates the crowds at a concert. Also, there might be introverted individuals who

enjoy spending time with their close-knit friends but dislike spending time with people that they do not share a comfort level with. Here in lies the null hypothesis. Since these measures are

not absolute, the prediction based on these measures cannot be “either-or,” where a couple either gets divorced or stays together. Just like the mood to be social is intermittent, depending

on the mood, the day and other factors, the level of marital bliss is just as irregular. However, the synergetic effect between sociability and marital bliss would also depend on whether both

the members are of the same personality type. The best number of participants would be at least 15 couples of different sexual orientations but in equal amount. For instance, 5 straight

couples, 5 homosexual male couples, 5 homosexual female couples with each having different sociability level. The proper hypothesis would be to judge whether couples with the same

sociability marker have more marital bliss or couples with opposing sociability markers. I believe this covers the introduction as well as the literature review.

Answer 1

Some detailed information on MBTI and its types could help. This includes what is comprised of personality, the different postulates and theories, what is the current understanding of MBTI, how widely it is used in practice, etc. The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives.

The different types indicate a person’s unique characteristics under the following parameters:

• Extraversion and introversion
• Sense and instinct
• Thinking and feeling
• Judging and perceiving

How knowing one's personality type could help a person modify their own way of living in personal ways, such that they understand their own way operating better is something that could be beneficial. Also, in terms of professional growth, knowing their own personality type could help them fit better in a more desirable way such that they end up being more productive in their stipulated roles. Indeed, it is also true that these may not always be absolute parameters and may not be entirely black in white in their orientation.

There might be introverted individuals who enjoy spending time with their close-knit friends but dislike spending time with people that they do not share a comfort level with. Here in lies the null hypothesis. Since these measures are not absolute, the prediction based on these measures cannot be “either-or,” where a couple either gets divorced or stays together. Just like the mood to be social is intermittent, depending on the mood, the day and other factors, the level of marital bliss is just as irregular. However, the synergetic effect between sociability and marital bliss would also depend on whether both the members are of the same personality type.

Thekey therefore lies in understand the varied personality types, especially the manner in which the opposite personality types functions, and view life from their perspectove in order to empathize and therefore, gel better with them in future. Indeed, it may not always be about the characteristic way of functioning but the manner in which the different types are willing to co-exist harmoniously.
