Explanations for the test This questionnaire is designed to measure the severity of 16 personality traits proposed by Cattell as a model of personality structure. The questionnaire contains a list of the following bipolar indicators: SCALE FROM 10 TO 1, IT IS DESCENDING! (that is, if A is 10, then this means that you are reserved, etc.) A. sizothymia (restrained) - affectothymia (sociable); B. high intelligence - low intelligence; C. strength of the “I” (emotionally stable) - weakness of the “I” (emotionally unstable); E. dominance (independence, persistence) - conformity (dependent on the group); F. surgency (carelessness) - desurgency (seriousness); G. the power of the “Super-I” (high conscientiousness) -...

To study conformity, T. Leary’s “Diagnostics of Interpersonal Relations” (DIR) questionnaire was chosen, adapted by L.L. Sobchik.

The method of diagnosing interpersonal relationships is a modified version of T. Leary's interpersonal diagnostics, the author of which is a follower of Sullivan's ideas. Theoretical approach G.S. Sullivan's approach to understanding personality is based on the idea of the important role of assessments and opinions of people around him who are significant for a given individual, under the influence of which his personification occurs, that is, identification with “significant others” that forms the personality. In the process of interaction with the environment, personality manifests itself in a certain style of interpersonal behavior. Realizing the need for communication and the fulfillment of his desires, a person conforms his behavior with the assessments of significant others at the level of conscious self-control, as well as (unconsciously) with the symbolism of identification. Based on the fact that personality is manifested in behavior actualized in the process of interaction with others, the American psychologist Leary systematized empirical observations in the form of 8 general or 16 more detailed (not justified in practice) options for interpersonal interaction.

According to different types of interpersonal behavior, a questionnaire was developed, which is a set of fairly simple characteristics-epithets, their number is 128.

The test was conceived as an aid for clinical diagnosis and was tested for validity by comparing the method data with the results of examination using MMP1. During the period of work on the creation of an adapted domestic version of the test, a reliable connection was discovered between the types of interpersonal behavior identified by Leary and certain individual personality patterns manifested by similar behavioral characteristics.

The factors of the interpersonal diagnostic method showed a high correlation with the leading typological trends. A comparison of eight octants of the DME method (each of which reveals a certain style of interpersonal interaction of an individual with the environment) with a coordinate system reflecting the structure of individual-personal typology showed the reliability of their conjugation (r = 0.73).

In addition, the data obtained using the DME method made it possible to take a new approach to the problem of self-esteem, criticality and self-control of the individual, and also significantly enriched the socio-psychological study of small groups, which will be discussed in detail below.

The method for diagnosing interpersonal relationships differs from T. Leary’s original technique mainly in its interpretative approach. Work was also carried out to adapt the verbal stimulus material of the technique. A more convenient and faster way of recording and calculating data has been developed; in addition, the scope of application of the test in the context of sociometric research has been significantly expanded.

The first publications on the use of the method of interpersonal diagnostics and its adapted version in our country date back to 1972. Work was carried out to study the style of interpersonal interaction in sports teams.

The questionnaire contains 128 laconic characteristics, according to which the subject first evaluates his current “I” at the time of the examination. Each of these characteristics has its own serial number. In a modified version of the methodology, a special grid is provided - a registration sheet, on which numbers from 1 to 128 are placed in such a way that further calculation of points for each of the eight octants is simplified as much as possible. Having assessed himself on the points of the questionnaire, the subject must cross out on the grid the numbers corresponding to the traits that he has discovered in himself, leaving uncrossed out the remaining numbers corresponding to the properties that the subject does not have.

Instructions: “In front of you is a questionnaire containing various characteristics. You should read each one carefully and think about whether it matches your idea of yourself. If “yes,” then cross out the number corresponding to the serial number of the characteristic in the grid of the registration sheet. If “no,” then do not make any notes on the registration sheet. Try to be as careful and frank as possible to avoid repeated examinations. So, what kind of person are you?”

After the subject evaluates himself and fills out the grid of the registration sheet, points are calculated for 8 options of interpersonal interaction. For this, a Key is used, with the help of which blocks of 16 numbers each are allocated, forming 8 octants.

The number of numbers crossed out by the test subject in each block is entered into the table of quantitative results according to each octant, reflecting one or another version of the style of interpersonal behavior.

Description of octants.

I. Authoritative-leading. Moderate indicators (up to 8 points inclusive) reflect self-confidence, the ability to be a good mentor and organizer, and the qualities of a leader. With higher scores (up to 12 points) - intolerance to criticism, overestimation. own capabilities, with scores above 12 - didactic style of statements, imperative need to command others, traits of despotism.

II. Independent-dominant. Reveals the style of interpersonal relationships from confident, independent, competitive (with moderate indicators within 8 points) to complacent, narcissistic, with a pronounced sense of superiority over others (9-12 points), with a tendency to have a special opinion different from the opinion of the majority , and occupy a separate position in the group - above 12.

III. Straightforward-aggressive. Depending on the severity of the indicators, this octant reflects sincerity, spontaneity, straightforwardness, perseverance in achieving a goal (moderate scores) or excessive persistence, unfriendliness, lack of restraint and temper (high scores).

IV. Distrustful-skeptical. This style of interpersonal behavior is characterized by a realistic base of judgments and actions, skepticism and non-conformity (up to 8 points), which develop into an extremely touchy and distrustful mode of attitude towards others with a pronounced tendency to criticism, with dissatisfaction with others and suspicion (with indicators of 12-16 points ).

V. Submissive-shy. Reflects such features of interpersonal behavior as modesty, shyness, and a tendency to take on other people's responsibilities. At high rates - complete submission, increased feelings of guilt, self-deprecation.

VI. Dependent-obedient. With moderate indicators - the need for help and trust from others, for their recognition. At high rates - overconformity, complete dependence on the opinions of others.

VII. Collaborative-conventional. Reveals the style of interpersonal relationships characteristic of individuals striving for close cooperation with a reference group and friendly relations with others. The excessive degree of expression of this style is manifested by compromising behavior, lack of restraint in outpouring one’s friendliness towards others, and the desire to emphasize one’s involvement in the interests of the majority.

VIII. Responsible and generous. This type of interpersonal behavior is manifested by an expressed willingness to help others and a developed sense of responsibility (up to 8 points). High scores indicate soft-heartedness, overcommitment, hypersocial attitudes, and emphasized altruism.

Now it is fashionable to remember the turbulent 60s and challenge the system. Who are nonconformists and conformists? And can they make friends in you?

! Nonconformists (from the Latin non - “not” and conformis - “similar”) do not accept the values of society. Do you remember where the first rockers started? They rejected everything that the world of finance was based on. Conformism is, on the contrary, changing one’s attitudes depending on the environment.

American psychologist Solomon Asch came up with such an experiment to study conformity and group authority. Imagine that you are taken for an eye test. They showed a standard stick, and then three others, and asked to show which of the three sticks was equal to the first in length. The question was asked not only to you, but also to the dozens of people present. They all say it's the third. And you see that the third one is shorter than the reference one. What do you say? What if the group insists? Do you trust your eye or the majority? 75% of participants “gave up.” Only later were they told that the whole group were decoys. And this was not a test for vision, but for conformity, that is, the tendency to share the opinions of others. It turns out that only ¼ of all people are more or less capable of going against the system.

There was a more terrible experiment. The participant was told that he was helping to administer the test, he was in the role of a “teacher.” And there was a “student” actor who allegedly received an electric shock for every mistake in a task. The author of the entire experiment, sociopsychologist Stanley Milgram, put pressure on the “teacher.” He said: “Continue, even if the student screams. You have no other choice, move on." The current discharge could be increased from “weak” to “traumatic”. The actor let out increasingly heartbreaking screams. So, 50% of the experiment participants, regardless of gender and age, reached the “traumatic” level. People obediently shocked others simply because some scientist said so. Conclusion: most people are not just conformists, but they are also willing to do a lot for what is “right,” especially if someone confidently confirms that it is truly right.

Why can you give up your opinion, even if it is correct?

Every person contains two opposites. On the one hand, a person appreciates the opportunity to belong to a group. On the other hand, there is the opportunity to oppose oneself to the group. Some people like to be among a strong majority and know that they will not be ridiculed. Others like to shock.

It is absolutely normal that you have both. It is normal to identify yourself with others and share their values.

Today, nonconformism is a fashionable subculture. The formula “I run with...” speaks about who a person identifies with. Everyone should have people who accept him for who he is. At your age (that is, at the stage of life when everything is changing rapidly) there is a need for the feeling that someone will be there, call you yours, make you feel like you belong... Don’t be scared if you want to dye your hair white, because made by half of the fan club of their favorite star. Just understand that the point is not in hair color, but in the support of friends.

Subcultures - two in one. Both protest and obedience. For the whole society, you are different, you deny the rules. For your own people, you are part of a small system with unique rules. Nowadays, you can alternately be a hippie, a hipster, and a smart mom. And it’s normal to have several reference groups with which you want to associate yourself.

To avoid becoming a black sheep, the ugly duckling and escape from the zoo altogether, we are increasingly expressing our nonconformity online. It’s easy, not like in the 60s or 80s, when you still had to prove your belonging to the subculture by tearing your only jeans. Today all this is not needed: if you post a highly social picture, you are part of a certain group. The main thing is that on the Internet you can easily change your beliefs without compromising your image or real life. But if in reality you shaved half your head, got a sleeve tattoo and appeared as the vocalist of an underground band, then it will not be easy for you to enter the circle of home girls who walk Yorkies on a leash and wear apres ski outfits.

Psychologists say that the dynamic change of virtual nonconformist movements helps you become more open and flexible. Psychologists call this “adaptability.” In turn, adaptability is the main mechanism of success for a conformist. Within the system you have a greater chance of success - a fact. Another thing is that even those who try to escape from the system still form the system. So try yourself in everything that really interests you. And don’t choose between conformism and non-conformism. These are not life doctrines or curse words - these are simply two sides of a harmonious personality. Just ask yourself from time to time the question: “Is this really what I want and what I need?”
