Comparing the Nomothetic and Idiographic Approaches as They Apply to th

Thesis Statement The most differences between the idiographic and nomothetic entree are measurements and development. Introduction In the following es theorise, we address diametric theoretical perspectives from Nomothetic and Idiographic approach. How they apply to both nature (pattern of behavior and thinking) and Intelligence (thinking and behavior). Arguments for both sides are base on what psychologists broadly speaking use them as, because some might disagrees with the usage of the word nomothetic and idiographic, oriented by Kantian and Wilhelm Windelband. Outline nomothetic, idiographic approach and personality genius is the dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determine his or her quality behavior or thoughtAllport 1961 p.18Psychologists who adopt nomothetic approach are mainly concerned with what we share with others, provided differ in degree. Establishing general laws where all populations are describe and measure on the same coterie of dimensions and scale, i.e., trait theory. Psychologists, who adopt idiographic approach interested in the fit of experience over time, discover what makes each of us unique. Theoretically, they can be coherent, because the nomothetic approach also agrees with this uniqueness, as it measures differences in degree.Outline cognitionPsychologists relied on statistical results because it involves vast number of people, making it reliable. Intelligence is a behavior or thinking kick upstairsd by our personality some say it is whatever intelligence measures. Intelligent theories also argue if it is a divergent or unity ability, yet some argue about plane considering it as a part of personality. Personalities like intelli... ...ctors, not environment. Nomothetic approach suggests that this is because everyone is generally the same. Yet intelligence is poor when environment is poor - idiographic explain this as it stress social influence, but nomothetic would sen d packing this factor.Conclusion The choice between them depends not on which one is right, but what we wish to know David C. Funder p.518 The two approaches are similar in what they would take into account. It is heavy to draw a clear line just on the theoretical approach. Distinction came from research procedures because it clearly demonstrates the disagreement on the origin for both intelligence and personality. It is as David said what we wish to know is causing differences in what is produce in targeted experiments, it is therefore clearer to see when you look at experiments from two different approach.
