Perspectives on Personality: Self-Schemas in Action This exercise is designed to illustrate the operation of self-schemas in personality. Step 1 : Watch the video and note Freddie’s self-ratings along each of the 60 words that were read to him. Write down his ratings here: 1.(M)__6___ 2. (F)___4___ 3. (N)___7__ 4. (M)__7__ 5. (F)__5___ 6. (N)__2___ 7. (M)__6__ 8. (F)__4___ 9. (N)__3___ 10.(M)__5___ 11.(F)__4___ 12.(N)___4___ 13. (M)__4___ 14. (F)__5__ 15. (N)__5/6___ 16.(M)__7____ 17. (F)__7___ 18. (N)__3__ 19. (M)___2__ 20. (F)___2__ 21. (N)__4__ 22. (M)__7___ 23 .(F)__4___ 24.(N)__1___ 25.(M)_5____ 26.(F)___4___ 27. (N)___6__ 28. (M)___6__ 29. (F)___5___ 30. (N)__3____ 31. (M)___6__ 32.(F)__4____ 33. (N)___4__ 34. (M)__6__ 35. (F)__5___ 36. (N)__4___ 37. (M)__5__ 38. (F)__3___ 39. (N)__6___ 40.(M)__7___ 41.(F)___3__ 42.(N)___4___ 43. (M)__6___ 44. (F)__3__ 45. (N)__6___ 46. (M)__3____ 47. (F)__4___ 48. (N)__4__ 49. (M)__5___ 50. (F)_6____ 51. (N)__7__ 52. (M)__5___ 53. (F)__3___ 54.(N)_4____ 55.(M)___7__ 56.(F)___6___ 57. (N)___6__ 58. (M)__6___ 59. (F)___3___ 60. (N)___4___ Step 2 . Note that each of the 60 ratings above has an (M) indicating Masculinity, (F) indicating Femininity or an (N) beside them. Add up all of the (M) ratings and divide by 20; that is the is Freddie’s Average Masculinity Score. Do the same for all of his (F) ratings, summarizing them and dividing by 20 to get his Average Femininity Score. (Ignore the (N) ratings). Average Masculinity (M) Score: ___5.55____ Average Femininity (F) Score: ___4.2_____ Step 3 . If Freddie’s Masculinity (M) Score is higher than his Femininity (F) score, then he would be classified as a Masculine Sex Role Type. If his Femininity (F) Score is higher than his Masculinity (M) Score, then he would be classified as a Feminine Sex Role Type. If BOTH his (M) and (F) scores are 5.0 or higher, then he would be classified as an Androgynous Sex Role Type.
Indicate his Sex Role Type Here: ____Masculine sex role__________________ Step 4 . Now, according to Schema Theory, we should be “schematic” for words that are words that are more consistent with our Sex Role Types. To determine this, look at the list of words that Freddie recalled. This is the list of the words he recalled: Conventional: F Take a Stand: M Confidant: M Like Kids: F Assertive: M Proud: M Clean: F Child Like: F Leadership: M Ambitious: M Self-Sufficient: M Self-Reliant: M Friendly: N Kind: N Communication Prone: N Caring: F Understanding: N Sensitive: F Using the complete list of the 60 words in Step 1, Circle All Words that Freddie recalled in his recall list above. Then look back to determine whether the words he recalled were (M) or (F) words and count them up (ignore all false-recalls and any words that were NOT (M) or (F) words. You are only interested in determining the number of (M) and (F) words that Freddie recalled from the original list. How many did he recall? Number of (M) Words: ____8_____ Number of (F) Words: _____6_____ Step 5: According to Cognitive Schema Theory, Freddie should have recalled more Schema- Consistent words than Schema-Inconsistent words. What did you find? Do your findings support Cognitive Schema Theory or fail to support Cognitive Schema Theory? What you found: ____Freddie recalled a lot of the masculine words so he was consistent with his choosing (Schena-consistent)
