Webster (2013) blog post The Great Rat Mother Switcheroo

Links to an external site.. The recommended sources for this week provide additional information on these topics that may be helpful.

In this week’s required sources, you learned that while genes have a lot to say about who we are, environmental factors, particularly parental behavior, can shape the behavior of offspring on a biochemical level. In your initial post of a minimum of 350 words,

  • Briefly describe the research that has been done with rat mothers to illustrate this phenomenon. Be specific about the maternal behaviors and correlated biochemical changes to their offspring. This section demonstrates that you understand what research has been conducted and what the results mean, so be sure to go beyond quoting and paraphrasing to explain and interpret the research as you understand it.
  • Explain the implications of the research on parental behavior and environmental factors as they relate to human personality development.
  • Based on your understanding of the research cited in the required sources, assess the emerging field of epigenetics, explaining how it is impacting the longstanding nature versus nurture paradigm and evaluating the possible promise and risks with respect to the human experiments.

Be sure to cite all the required sources in your initial post.

The MMPI is called the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and is a more common psychometric test used to assess personality traits and psychopathology (Floyd et al., 2022) The MMPI is more popular and widely used in the United States. I Would choose this over the 16 Personality Test because this test has more of a success rate of determining personality, and is more trusted in the United States. I would like to use this MMPI in private practice because I would be able to go over the results with the patient, whereas the 16 Personality test requires more than one test taker and compares the means of a group compared to one individual. This would be the best for personality testing because of the psychological characteristic that can be compared to the normal personality. When the MMPI is used, it can be helpful in establishing or reevaluating care for an ambiguous clinical picture. When it comes to a private practice you can use it for psychiatric management, and then can be used to create generalized data made relevant to certain conditions (Floyd et al., 2022). The context is used in the 16 personalities for business, school, and clinical design. The MMPI it is used for clinical design. The CPI California Psychological Inventory assesses social communication and interpersonal behavior, as well as predicts a reaction of an individual given certain conditions, and what would be said or done (Sharma, 2021). It also shows how this individual will be viewed (Sharma, 2021).

I think I would also use all of these administrative tests because each has usefulness in private practice. No wafter researching all of these tests, I could fit them all into my private practice. According to Kaplan and Saccuzzo (2018) the CPI, MMPI, and 16 PF all have different purposes in counseling (Kaplan & Saccuzzo, 2018). I have really enjoyed reading about these tests, and each individual test brings something pertinent to the psychological table.
