“…After several such exchanges over successive sessions, he was administered an assessment to test the specific hypothesis that his narcissism was compensatory in nature. Specifically, the therapist administered the Hypersensitive Narcissism Scale (HNS; Hendin & Cheek, 1997) using Idiogrid software (Grice, 2002), which is based on the repertory grid approach. First introduced by Kelly as a part of personal construct theory, repertory grids continue to be useful in understanding how individuals view the relationship between themselves and important elements in their lives (Mason, 2003).…”

The following case study illustrates a client-centered, cognitive-behavioral approach to the psychological treatment of Mr. M, a 41-year-old male diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, a mood disorder from Lyme disease, and narcissistic personality disorder. Mr. M's personality difficulties are conceptualized as representing compensatory narcissism, a strategic way of coping with feelings of insecurity. The goals of treatment included positively integrating Mr. M's chronic illness into his identity, decreasing depressive symptoms, and improving his interpersonal skills. Treatment was successful in decreasing both Mr. M's depressive symptoms and his narcissistic orientation to thinking and interacting with others.

“…In repertory grid analysis, singular value decomposition reduces the data (elements, constructs and ratings) to a two-dimensional plot (Bell, 2003) by analysing the variance in the ratings and thus highlighting the relationships in the grid (Grice, 2002). other constructs shows the correlations between the ratings of the elements on those constructs, with smaller angles indicating more similar ratings (Jankowicz, 2004).…”

“…It allows comparison of specific element pairs across the whole sample regardless of the number of constructs in each individual grid. Calculated in Idiogrid (Grice, 2002) using the formula shown below, it results in a distance measurement between zero and one where zero represents maximum similarity and one represents maximum dissimilarity between the two elements being compared (See also Table 3 -7). Given that there are no statistical significance scores for Euclidean distance, in this PhD the distances were interpreted as the elements being more like each other (i.e.…”

Investigating the motivation and personal traits of allied health professionals working in remote and rural Australia: the Remote and Rural Allied Health Motivation and Personality (RRAHMP) study

Background: Allied health (AH) workforce shortages in remote and rural Australia contribute to poorer health outcomes for residents in those areas. This gap in health workforce has long been recognised as problematic and persists despite strategies for improving recruitment and retention of AH professionals. This thesis reports on a new approach to addressing the recruitment to, and retention in, remote areas of AH professionals by investigating the personal traits and motivation characteristics of AH professionals with and without remote area work experience. Recent research has shown that the nursing and medical professions can be differentiated by personality traits, but little is known about the personality traits of AH professionals. Therefore, this research aimed to address that knowledge gap.The aim of the study was to identify the personality traits and motivation characteristics that might assist an individual to 'thrive' rather than 'survive' in the remote work environment. It Health achieved a sample size of 562 AH professionals, with full demographic data and a completed TCI. Dependent variables were the TCI dimensions, while independent variables were remote experience, gender, age, profession and grouping of the professions as either person-or technique-oriented. Analysis was descriptive of the whole sample and comparative between groups using independent samples t-test, ANOVA and subsequent two-way ANOVA with 95% confidence level.Strand 2 used Personal Construct Psychology's key technique, the repertory grid interview, to understand how AH professionals construed working in remote areas, in terms of the personal traits and motivation that contribute to success. Participants (n=34) were a purposively selected subset of Strand 1. The repertory grid interviews produced both iii qualitative and quantitative data. These were analysed qualitatively to identify the personal and motivation characteristics, and quantitatively using singular value decomposition and Euclidean distance to compare differences construed by participants between remote and other AH work situations. Results:The following key findings were determined from personality trait results, together with the repertory grid results: The AH professionals appear to have mature personality characteristics, i.e. high or very high levels of Reward Dependence, Persistence, Self-directedness and Cooperativeness. The AH professionals with remote experience had higher Novelty Seeking and average Harm Avoidance levels compared with AH professionals without remote experience. Younger AH professionals tended towards higher Harm Avoidance levels.

PCT views individuals as private scientists who observe and analyse the world around them in order to guide future actions (Grice, 2002;Harrison & Sarre, 1971). According to PCT, individuals accomplish this by psychologically processing events and by comparing similar and contrasting attributes.…”

Cruise tourists’ perceptions of destination: Exploring push and pull motivational factors in the decision to take a cruise vacation

Cruise tourism is an increasingly popular and profitable industry that has been experiencing growth rates since the 1980s that are greater than the travel industry as a whole. Despite this growth, research about cruise tourism remains relatively underrepresented in the academic literature, with limited research into the motivational factors that influence the decision to take a cruise vacation. This research explores the motivational factors that influence the decisions of tourists to take a cruise vacation by using the push-pull framework. Push factors are the internal psychological motives that drive the need or desire to travel (Crompton, 1979) while pull factors are the specific attributes of the cruise destination (onboard and onshore) that draw tourists towards a specific cruise line, ship, or destination.Research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach in a three-stage sequential design. In the first stage of research, one-on-one interviews (20 participants) were conducted to explore participants' personal constructs of destination image in the context of cruise vacations. RepertoryGrid Analysis and open-ended questions were used to identify the onboard and onshore attributes that travellers use to compare and differentiate between cruise vacations. The responses were presented from the cruise travellers' point of view, representing personally relevant criteria that are used in the decision-making process (Coshall, 2000;Hankinson, 2004;Young, 1995).These results were then used to create a new measurement scale for cruise destination attributes that accounts for the unique aspects of cruising and that allows researchers to separately measure the importance of both onboard and onshore attributes.In the second stage, online surveys (344 participants) were conducted to refine the list of attributes elicited from Stage 1 to a quantity that is suitable for inclusion in a quantitative survey instrument in Stage 3. The online survey also tests the ability of the instrument to determine the relative importance of onboard and onshore attributes in tourists' choice of a specific cruise.The refined cruise destination attribute scale in the Stage 3 online study (503 participants) permitted, for the first time, an effective measurement of the relative importance of onboard and onshore attributes in tourist choices of a specific cruises. The results revealed that, when deciding on a cruise vacation, the majority of travellers place greater importance on the onboard attributes than on the onshore attributes. This supports the recent development by the cruise industry of new ships that are self-contained destinations, and of marketing campaigns that position the cruise ship as the focal point of cruise vacations, with cruise destinations being of secondary importance (Weaver, 2005c;Weeden et al., 2011;Wood, 2000). Although onboard attributes were of greater importance overall to many participants, this was not true for all. Further analysis identified three distinct groups: firstly, the onboard preference gro...
