Comparing the Nomothetic and Idiographic Approaches as They Apply to th

Thesis Statement The most differences between the idiographic and nomothetic get on argon measurements and development. induction In the following essay, we discuss different theoretic perspectives from Nomothetic and Idiographic approach. How they apply to both Personality (pattern of behavior and opinion) and Intelligence (thinking and behavior). Arguments for both sides are viewpoint on what psychologists generally use them as, because some(a) might disagrees with the usage of the word nomothetic and idiographic, orientated by Kantian and Wilhelm Windelband. Outline nomothetic, idiographic approach and dispositionPersonality is the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his or her characteristic behavior or thoughtAllport 1961 p.18Psychologists who adopt nomothetic approach are mainly concerned with what we share with others, but differ in degree. Establishing universal laws where all populations are describe and measure o n the same set of dimensions and scale, i.e., sign theory. Psychologists, who adopt idiographic approach interested in the aspect of experience over time, discover what makes each of us unique. Theoretically, they can be coherent, because the nomothetic approach also agrees with this uniqueness, as it measures differences in degree.Outline intelligencePsychologists relied on statistical results because it involves vast number of people, making it reliable. Intelligence is a behavior or thinking produced by our personality some say it is whatever intelligence measures. Intelligent theories also argue if it is a divergent or unity ability, yet some argue about even considering it as a part of personality. Personalities like intelli... ...ctors, not surround. Nomothetic approach suggests that this is because every unrivalled is generally the same. Yet intelligence is poor when environment is poor - idiographic explain this as it stress social influence, but nomothetic would ignore th is factor.Conclusion The choice between them depends not on which one is right, but what we wish to know David C. Funder p.518 The two approaches are similar in what they would take into account. It is difficult to draw a clear line just on the theoretical approach. Distinction came from research procedures because it clearly demonstrates the disagreement on the origin for both intelligence and personality. It is as David said what we wish to know is causing differences in what is produce in targeted experiments, it is therefore clearer to see when you look at experiments from two different approach.
