- This video briefly overviews some of the key components of measuring mental health variables through interviews, projective tests, and objective tests. Psychological assessment is discussed broadly in terms of its relevance to abnormal psychology, and the need for reliability and validity in test instruments.
I can't Be Psychologist, But At Least I can Be A Counselor In School 😅, but Keep Going Forward! You Aspire Me To Learn This!, Never Give Up! I'll Support You and Your Channel From Now! GOOD LUCK !
Professor Pash, I have found many of your videos on psych assessment excellent. So much so that I think I should recommend their inclusion as teaching material! Thanks.
Thank you for this video it really helped me for my reporting in Psychological Assessment good job prof! 💕💕
You deserve way more views, subscribers, and likes! Seriously!
Thank you for a concise clarification of the topic.
Brillaint!! Please upload more lectures!!!!!
This is literally one of the few clear and actually informative videos out there about this topic. Thank you for this! 🤍
Hey thanks for the kind words Lanz! Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so muh. It helped me a lot!!! Please make more discussion about psychology
Im in the first few seconds of this video and I cant help but notice the colors including imof your outfit. Great taste!
Very helpful! Super grateful for these vids (especially with all the snow days)
Thanks! I'm glad you're finding them useful.
@@ProfPashHello, Prof. Please, can you help to do a detailed analysis of the psychological assessment of criminals or suspects?
Learned a lot, thank you 🔥
you explained it well. 👍
Learned a lot From This Video! Thank you For Help Me Understand Psychology Better! Also Keep Up The Good Work!!
Really enjoying your videos man. I'm writing a play set in the 'not too distant future,' and one scene features an AI giving a psychological assessment of a human character in an interview setting (so like Blade Runner in reverse haha). Given the current trends in psychiatry, do you think a balanced approach of projective and objective testing will continue into the future, or do you think some forms of testing will become redundant when we have technology that can simultaneously evaluate spoken responses as well as measure small adjustments in body language. I realise that this question is already assuming A LOT about the place of technology in psych assessment and it's ability to measure different inputs, but I'm curious to hear what your thoughts are. Apologies for the essay of a comment!
Hey Adam, thanks for watching and commenting! Fascinating question, and your play sounds really interesting. Although this is speculative and a bit outside my skillset, I do seem to be hearing more and more about machine learning and assessments driven by automated computer technology. Psychiatry / clinical psychology / counseling / social work / forensics each seem to be heading away from projective/subjective tests and toward increasingly objective/quantitative measures, which lend themselves much more easily to the aid of AI. Is that the 'right' direction for our fields to go, I'm unsure. Projective tests (and somewhat related, a broadly phenomenological / subjective view of individuals and their mental health) is perhaps becoming less popular on the large scale, but I would argue they're still relevant and have their place. Again, thanks for asking!
Thanks so much ProfPash - I appreciate you getting back to me. It's fascinating to hear your thoughts on where things are headed and I'm sure it'll help me add a layer of realism to the script beyond what my limited understanding could achieve. This trend toward objective measures, with computer assistance, makes for a nice element of conflict in itself. Surely a heavy focus on a specific type of testing over the other ignores the possibility that the subject may be more open (or honest) to a projective approach. Putting the writing to one side, you've really ignited an interest in me in your field! I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Did you finish your writing @adamfitzgerald203?
Thank you 💖💖💖
very good thanks heaps
Thank you for your video - from those of us still in grad school =D
Than You Sir. We have 18% of population with schizophrenia in Croatia, all with real estates. It makes you question the real eastate market, right?
I'm a psychology major and I have failed my prelim exam in this subject 2 days ago because I find this subject hard especially when we computed data and I have ran out of time. :'(((((
I'm needing someone's help to teach me further about statistics because I did not really comprehend the lessons on my freshman and sophomore years in psych stats. I can say, I may be bad in math but I try hard learning it and maybe the way my prof taught us was not really that good that's why I can't digest her lessons.
P.s. By the way, this video is very educational and helpful. Thank you!!
Are you Filipino?
Helpful video
Hi ProfPash, I was wondering if you could expand this explanation of psychological assessment with psychological profiling approaches used by intelligence agencies around the world. What are the similarities and differences between these psychological approaches?
Also, if you could mention Professor Dr. Jerold M. Post's work on profiling world leaders.
How accurate could the approach of analyzing subjects with different sources of information and from a remote distance (without a personal interview) be reliable?
Would this profiling tendency in behavioral analysis be efficient in identifying personality traits! Thanks!
Hi Francisco, I actually do not have much experience in forensic psych (none at all, precisely). So, I can't really speak to the veracity of various profiling strategies. I'm aware that profiling as a general practice has been scrutinized by research and its validity is sometimes questionable, but I can't really offer details about specific models or approaches. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

For someone who has difficulties leaving the home, is it advisable to have the ssdi psychological assessment over telehealth/video? Seems like it would be too limiting.
Hi Keith! While I can't speak to every situation and circumstance, I would say that there are indeed many psych assessments which can successfully be conducted remotely. Those involving physical manipulation of objects (e.g., the puzzles involved in common IQ tests) would be hard to replicate through audio/video, but many other aspects can be handled just fine. Best of luck in your pursuits.
Behavioral Assessment please 🥺🥺
Hello Prof, I have a Q. As a psychologist, you are aware that people are often assessed, either by you or any other authority in various setting using tools. Can you make a list of reasons why certain tools are used to assess?
Thanks :))
Hi Cherishaaa, this is pretty broad so I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, sorry. Assessment tools vary widely from those that measure various aspects of intelligence or capacity (e.g., IQ, learning, memory) to those that measure personality and psychopathology (e.g., symptoms, stress level).
@@ProfPash oh I meant in terms of Psychological Testing and Assessment
❤❤
What is the interview like for when a person charged with a crime has to go to court and they want a mental health evaluation?
That's often referred to as a "competency eval" or "assessment of competence to stand trial." The specific topics of interview and potential instruments used would vary widely, depending upon the nature of the case. Sorry that's really vague, but it does depend on lots of factors.

I am lost on YT watching Personality test and you seem lost too
Your definition of reliability is slightly confusing. I wouldn't say that reliability is the extent of 'truth' discovered. The reliability of a test is measured in its ability to produce consistent and accurate results. Consistency on repetition and accuracy of results is the focus of reliability, not 'truth' finding. At least based on my experience and education.
Hello Heidi, thank you for your comment! This is a actually a common misconception, so it's a great conversation-starter.
The consistency of a test result is just one form of assessing a test's reliability, among others. The reason we treat consistency (i.e., a test yielding the same or similar scores for the same individual over time) as an indication of reliability is that it is an assumed opportunity to minimize other sources of variance. If an individual's "true score" on a construct is hypothetically not going to change (e.g., their level of extraversion is truly 75%), and we measure them twice finding scores of 74 and 77, then we assume the differences between those scores must be due to measurement error. Measurement error is the opposite of reliability, whereas reliability refers to the accuracy/truth of a score.
So, the indicator often referred to as "test-retest reliability" (where a test is given to numerous individuals twice at separate instances and then scores are correlated) is just one way of assessing the error-proneness of a test. Other indicators of reliability include internal reliability (often approximated with the Cronbach's alpha test), split-half reliability, and inter-rater reliability. These all attempt to take a look at the test with minimal other sources of intra-individual variance to see how much variability should be attributed to error.
Hope that helps! Have a wonderful day :)
@@ProfPash yes this helps tremendously! Thank you for your explanation! I appreciate it 😁🙏
eww i hate unstructured interviews. My Scandinavian -ness makes it terribly difficult to honestly answer such broad questions. the answer to ' how are you doing' will always be 'good'. Ugh DON'T use unstructured interviews. I dread them so much that I never go to the doctor because I know they're going to do that bullshit.
Thanks for the comment Vegan Dolls! I think it's only fair to say that both structured and unstructured interviewing styles (and the whole spectrum in-between) have their place. Certainly if someone feels dread at the thought of opening up to broad questions, the assessing clinician will have to alter their style, at least until rapport is built.
