Q Discussion: Measurement of Personality - Discussion Group 1 From PSYC-01A-52041 Research has shown that at many institutions of higher learning across the country, there is a large attrition rate, that is, many students who begin college do not complete it. In an attempt to determine personality characteristics that could be predictive of this phenomenon, a scale was created from items of the MMPI-2. In the article titled “Validity of the MMPI-2 College Maladjustment Scale” written by Merker and Smith (2001), this topic is discussed. Read this article, and then, in a 250-300 word reply, answer the following: 1. What is the percentage of entering freshmen that leave school without earning a degree? 2. According to students, what are some of the issues that contribute to quitting school? 3. Name the six clusters of maladjusted students. 4. Do you think it would be appropriate for schools to screen students based on the results of this test (deny admission to those who don’t score well)? Why, or why not? Respond to two other students in 75-100 words. Supplemental video:Measuring Personality: Crash Course Psychology #22
