Personal Intelligence : The Meeting Point of Inward
and Outward / Fouad A-L.H. Abou-Hatab ABSTRACT : A model for personal intelligence
(PI) derived from Abou-Hatab’s general model of multiple intelligence’s is
proposed.
Abou-Hatab’s model was first suggested in 1973 and
modified several times afterwards. The definition of (PI) in the model is
based on the goodness of fit between subjective self-report about internal
world and relevant objective observable criterion. The pre-control variable
of the general model chosen for (PI) is personal thinking.
The
control variables are classes of personal information, spontaneous mode of
information presentation, amount of information as measured by information
demand. The execution variables are : verbal expression of the response,
selection of response among alternatives, and intensity of response, as
measured by rating-scale system. The post-execution-judgment variables are
the degree of congruity between self-rating of original thinking (as measured
by Gordon’s Personal Profile) and the objective criterion of the same trait
(originality as measured by Torrance’s Test of Creative Thinking). The study
was carried out on 150 male and female Egyptian university students and a
classificatory system of (PI) levels and processes was arrived at. §
Industrial /
Organizational Psychology : in the Arab World / Farag A. Taha
ABSTRACT : Human
being is the only organism that enjoy work and production which could be some
of his instincts. From this point of view, industrial organizational
psychology draws its importance as a main field of psychology, devoted to
work and production. In this paper I try to overview Arab’s history of this
important branch of psychology along with some of its issues. §
Musical
Field Dependence – Independence / Amal A.M. Sadek
ABSTRACT : This
research is planned so as to investigate the nature of musical closure and
its relation to embedded figures of visual nature. The major hypothesis to be
tested is that : field dependence – independence (flexibility of
closure) cuts across the content whether visual or musical regardless of the
level of difficulty. Test of visual and auditory nature together with other
musical ability tests were applied to subjects in different levels of
education with different age range and level of music sofistification.
Statistical analysis was carried out and results confirmed :
a)
Memory is the dominating ability for all
aspects of musical ability including abilities of spatio-temporal nature as
flexibility of closure. b)
Easy musical tasks may share common variance
with visual tasks of any level of difficulty as far as dependence –
independence is concerned and more difficult related musical tasks may be
more context specific and show types do musical field dependence –
independence separate from visual context. §
Cognitive
Profile of Mentally Retarded Persons as a Function of the Etiology of Retardation/
Josette Abdalla
ABSTRACT :
This study investigates the cognitive profile of mentally retarded persons as
a function of etiology of retardation. The sample includes 36 mildly retarded
persons ranging from 8-17 years ; 18 females and 18 males. 10 are
retarded as a result of PKU, 10 postnatal meningitis, 8 prenatal medication,
and 8 Fragile X syndrome. The tool used to identify the cognitive profile is
the Wechsler scales. A MANOVA using all 10 WISC subtests as dependent
variables and diagnosis and SES as independent variables was performed,
followed by several ANOVAs. The hypothesis that the four identified
etiologies of mental retardation result in varying cognitive profiles in this
sample of Egyptian children is supported, as well as the additional
hypothesis that there is a difference in gender among these groups. Some
patterns among the diagnostic groups that were suggested by this research
were also found. §

The Use of
Computerized Versus Standard Short-Term Memory Tests : The Possible
Effects of Computer Anxiety and Experience / Reda Abouserie and Neil Selwyn
ABSTRACT : The use of
computers in psychological measurement has steadily increased over the last
twenty years as computers have become more widely available. However,
although computerized testing has many inherent advantages, the influence of
a subject’s previous experience of using computers and the anxiety over using
a computer are both factors which have to be considered before computer-based
psychological tests can be considered a valid alternative method of
administration. This paper therefore reports on two experiments involving
computerized and standard versions of a digit-span and word recognition
short-term memory tests with an undergraduate sample (n=57). The results
suggest that computer anxiety and experience do not have a significant effect
on subjects test performance. However, subjects displayed significantly
higher scores on the computerized word-recognition task than the standard
version. Unlike previous experiments in this area the results are applicable
to non-psychiatric populations. §

The Chance for
Peace : An Analytical Perspective on the Arabic and Israelis Minds /
Dr.Jawad Fatayer
ABSTRACT :
This paper stresses upon the correlation between mind and action. It’s been
argued that our actions are mere reflections of our ideas and feelings i.e.
our minds. The paper presents the issue in two analytical levels. A
microanalysis represented by the mental constructs of the Israelis Paramount
Mind on the one hand. A micro analysis represented by the attitude ans
actions of Israel’s P. minister Mr. Natanyaho, presented as a finite mind.
The author provides a detailed analysis of the Israelis and the Arab minds.
The analysis concludes that neither the Israeli’s mind nor their actions seem
to correspond positively with that of the Arabic counterpart. This, chances
for peace are as little as null. §
Le Test Du Temps en Psychosomatique / Dr. Mohamad A. Naboulsi ABSTRACT : Dans son œuvre « Délire et
rêves dans le Gradiva de Jensen » était le premier a proposer l’analyse
des œuvres artistique comme équivalent a l’analyse des rêves. Cette
proposition était à l’origine de l’apparition de tests dits
« Projectifs ». Et c’est depuis assez du temps qu’on travaille à
l’application de ces tests en psychosomatique. On note spécialement les
travaux de Nine Rauch de Traubenberg concernant l’application du Rorschach et
de TAT en psychosomatique.
Peut-être qu’on se demande pourquoi le test du temps, surtout après la
standardisation de Rorschach et du TAT à l’échelle psychosomatique.
Nous
croyons avoir des raisons convaincantes pour répondre à cette question ;
d’abord ce test est si simple « on demande au malade de nous
représenter le temps d’une façon intelligible », de façon qu’on évite
toute superinvestigation de l’inconscience dont Marty considérait comme une
possibilité de régression désorganisateur du système psychosomatique.
2- Ce test représente fidèlement
l’équilibre psychosomatique mais encore l’économie puis que la représentation
entre instinct de vie et instinct de mort.
3- Par la représentation du présent
le malade nous donne une idée sur sa vie opératoire et sur l’importance de
cette vie dans son organisation. |
