Megatrends in Personality Assessment: Toward a Human Science Psychology
Journal of Personality Assessment (1984)
  • Richard Dana, Portland State University
Abstract

Societal megatrends have assessment counterparts — superempiricism, biopsychosocial perspective, person-centering, population-specificity, self-assessment —; which are used to examine the contemporary status of professional psychology. A human science approach to research, training, and practice can exemplify a profession that acknowledges these megatrends. The nurture of competent professional psychologists requires a reinvestment in Boulder Model ideology, a human science that is shared with consumers on the basis of values which communicate caring and understanding.
