Do the Five Factor Personality Inventory-Children and the BASC-2 measure the same constructs?
[This discussion will be limited to the FFPI-C and the BASC-2 Self-Report of Personality] No, these tests to NOT measure the same constructs, despite both using the word 'personality' in their titles. A comprehension psychological evaluation of a child should idealy include both (or similar) of these assessment instruments. An analogy might quickly bring the reader up to speed on this issue: FFPI-C......NEO AS BASC-2 (SRP).......MMPI Here are some basic characteristics of each measure: FFPI-C
* Ages 9 to 18-years (single form)
* Measures 'normal' personality traits (based upon the Five Factor Model of personality)
* Self-report measure
* Effective in explaining and predicting interactions based upon generally stable temperaments across the life-span
* Effective in assisting the development of counseling and therapeutic interventions
* Manual reports adequate reliability and validity data BASC-2 (SRP)
* Ages 6 years to 21 years (3 forms targeted to individual age range)
* Measures 'atypical' behavioral, social, and emotional thoughts and feelings
* Self-report measure
* Effective in describing current (transient) pathological functioning in children for purposes of classifying/labeling
* Effective in determining eligibility and need for specialized interventions
* Manual reports adequate reliability and validity data An example may help to better understand the differences between these instruments and why information from both helps round out the evaluation process. A child may self-rate atypical on the BASC-2 (SRP) Withdrawal Scale and not actually be clinically impaired, as a concurrently low score on the Extraversion factor from the FFPI-2 would suggest this is based on temperament, and not a transient emotional confliction. Conversely, a low score on the FFPI-C Regulation factor (Neurosis in the traditional FFM) does not in and of itself constitute a profile of serious emotional disturbance {merely poor emotional regulation in a broad sense}; there are many children with poor emotional regulation who are not incapacitated from poor mental health. However, a high number of elevated scores on the BASC-2 (SRP) is suggestive of serious emotional disturbance. Having said this, both the FFPI-C Regulation factor and the BASC-2 (SRP) individual subscales are predictive of classification as emotional-behavior disordered in the public school system. To summarize, while each of these assessment instruments measure different constructs, they are both reliable and valid measures of important psychological constructs that should be examined in a comprehensive clinical evaluation of children experiencing adjustment problems.

Does getting your hair done boost your self esteem?
Usually, getting your hair done boosts your self esteem, but not always.
What is the difference between self-respect and respect?
Self-respect is earned through ordeal and respect is bestowed upon through recognition.
The former is a prerequisite to get the latter. When the order is reversed, annihilating attitude develops on confrontation with someone more deserving and there is hollowness within - even amidst plenty one feels naked.
The policy of Oranges and Clothing is doing in the reverse order which is possible in a country where immigrants become scapegoats. But, in a country where there is no reliance on immigrants they go the hard way - first earning through ordeal and then getting recognised.
That provided respect is easily robbed when there is no security around and the person feels naked as there is no undergarment of self-respect.

Is it true that people with low self-esteem will make fun of themselves to hide their insecurity?
Yes people with low esteem will make fun of themselves to hide their insecurity. I do it because sometimes I feel stupid or unsure of myself and I feel like others can I see it , I'll try to laugh it off or joke a about it. I don't give them the chance to laugh at me, I'll be the butt of my own jokes. The above poster is correct, but there is another reason as well .... No, not all the time. I will, on occasion make fun of myself over a problem to help me through the problem and also use this method to get a giggle out my husband or a friend to try and put a smile on their face. I am certainly not insecure in the least.
What boys wants from their girls?
Boys, like anyone else, want respect, communication, trust, and support from their partners. It's important to listen to each other, show appreciation, and create a strong emotional connection to sustain a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
Most would say yes, that it is. Working hard means being a productive member of society.
But hard work in and of itself is not considered one of the traditional Seven Virtues, except as it relates to the category of prudence (exercising good judgment in practical affairs).
Is it good to have a strong belief that everything is in your favor?
Well, I suppose it's a nice way to look at life, but its so unrealistic and doesn't prepare you for those times when things really aren't in your favour. It could also make you appear rather self centered and conceited to others and might impact some of ;your relationships negatively. Having a good feeling about yourself is always good, but you also need to be able to identify your weaknesses so you can work on them , right!
I do not think that it is wrong to have a strong belief with things that are in your favor, providing that they have been come by honestly. There are many people in the world who seek favor dishonestly and get great joy in doing so. In doing so they loose their self respect and the respect of others.
If the odds are in your favor in getting a fair days wage for a fair days work, in getting satisfaction in helping your fellow man with no desire for reward except their happiness, great, further blessings will come to you in unexpected ways.
Finally, do not seek for favors, earn them honestly.
How do you know the value of a Winchester model 62A?
Value is determined by a number of factors including age, condition, documentation, etc. To get started, look up the the NRA Condition Grading Definitions For Antique Firearms. You can find these by using the Google search form to the right.
To get a reliable estimate of the value of your gun, see a professional appraiser. For something more simple, get yourself a guide book.
Of course, ultimately the value of anything is what it is worth to individuals. What is it worth to you? What is it worth to an individual potential buyer. The gun may be worth more to you because it has sentimental value, e.g. it was your grandfather's gun.
The only thing that you can do in this case is to encourage your friend. The choice is hers, so there is little that you can do. It is up to her whom she chooses to go out with and whom she does not.
In what way can intelligence affect human behavior?
A higher degree of intelligence can lead someone to be more aware of right and wrong, as well as a better understanding of what's expected of him or her in a given situation. Being able to read people's moods can also help someone recognize when to apply (and when to avoid) certain types of behavior.
For example, if a friend is upset, paying attention (using your intellect) could help you figure out whether they wanted a shoulder to cry on, a friend to cry with, some advice, a warm hug, or just shared silence.

Does a womanizer have low self-esteem?
It depends on how you are referring to the term womanizer. I disagree partially with the other two answers and here is why:
The two types of Womanizers are (1). Men who naturally (that is the key word) have an appeal to woman because of their natural intelligence, style, charm, charisma, and good looks. These men do not in anyway have to pursue women, as many women are attracted to the Womanizer naturally. Many so called womanizers do stay loyal in relationships and because of their unique qualities, find monogamous relationships attractive and preferable. The drawback to this type of "Womanizer" is that he is many times categorized with the second and most common class of "Womanizers". (2). This is a class of men who normally have very low self-esteem , oversized egos, and little respect for women. The difference in identifying this type of womanizer is by the reason he is referred to as such. For instance, a woman may see a man who does not have style, yet he pursues women like a pig. These types of womanizers though are generally referred to by other names such as Perverts, Pigs, Male Chauvinist
"I love my Mother, and growing up and all my life she would notice how women would flock to me, and literally fall to my feet, (from when I was a baby) this had nothing to do with my conscious intent of attracting women of all ages. I am just a very charismatic individual, who is multi-talented, naturally sensitive, somewhat faminine, and of genius intellegence. The only reason I state these facts is for the purpose of understanding that some men actually have a natural ability to attract both sexes (and are typically referred to as Womanizers)." -A Serial Womanizer of the Natural Kind
A womanizer could be on either side of the spectrum. Either he has a low self esteem and must harrass women to feel good about himself or he has a big ego. Some of them are getting back at an ex by manipulating women. Serial womanizers tend to have extremely high egos and live for the game of pursuing women.
What does it mean if your IQ is 142?
An IQ of 142 is classified as 'very superior intelligence.'
It means that you have the potential to be capable of processing significant amounts of information faster and more accurately that 95% of the people that you will come in contact with in your lifetime.
Please notice the word potential. Having a high IQ does not mean that you are guaranteed success. Many people with high IQ's struggle with life because they process things differently than most people and therefor have trouble relating to those around them.
One of the best examples I have heard regarding this type of situation was from a professor of mine at Colorado State. She stated that someone with a high IQ must work twice as hard as a person with an "average" IQ. Why? Those with higher IQ's grasp concepts that normal people can't comprehend. Therefor, we ust work twice as hard to find a way to explain what we have grasped in a way others can understand. Throw a learning difference like ADD/HD in the mix and you have someone that not only can process information at a ridiculous rate, but can't explain how he/she got to the conclusion.
Another problem with having a high IQ at a young age is that curriculum is often designed to target those closer to the mean IQ range of 100. High IQ individuals are able to "skate" by with minimal effort which does them no good in life after school. A high IQ without a proper education is like a modern supercomputer running Microsoft Windows 3.1. Massive computational power, small knowledge database.

What are associations between high self esteem and good school performance?
High self esteem is often associated with good school performance as individuals who believe in their abilities are more likely to set high goals, persist through challenges, and seek out help when needed. This positive self-perception can lead to greater motivation, resilience, and overall academic success. However, it's important to note that other factors like support systems, resources, and individual learning styles also contribute to school performance.

Self-fulfilling prophecy is a belief or expectation that influences a person's behavior or actions, resulting in the belief becoming true. For example, if someone is told they are not good at something, they may start to believe it and then behave in a way that leads to that belief becoming a reality. In essence, self-fulfilling prophecies are predictions that come true because the belief in them influences people to act in ways that bring about the predicted outcome.
