“…Proceeding from Sternberg’s concept of implicit intelligence, Raščevska (2004) constructed the Practical Skills Questionnaire and Practical and Regulation Skills Inventory. These measures were investigated in relation to various indicators of social adaptation and to personality variables, and their factorial structure was ascertained, with a high loading on a general factor, presumably tapping active problem solving ability.…”

“…These measures were investigated in relation to various indicators of social adaptation and to personality variables, and their factorial structure was ascertained, with a high loading on a general factor, presumably tapping active problem solving ability. The Bar-On Questionnaire of Emotional Intelligence has also been adapted and investigated in Latvia (Gaitniece-Putāne, 2008; Raščevska, 2004).

History of psychology in Latvia can be divided into three stages: (1) origin and early development during the period of independence between the two World Wars; (2) survival under rather difficult conditions under the Soviet rule; and (3) rapid growth after the reestablishment of independence in 1991. After a brief review of the first two stages, this survey concentrates on recent and current trends in Latvian psychology. Research is reviewed on: interethnic relations, social representations; attachment styles in infancy and childhood and their reverberations in adulthood; early detection and intervention of depression in schoolchildren and university students; validation of major intelligence tests and exploration of new modes of assessing intelligence, and the interplay of social axioms and personal characteristics in observing traffic regulations. As a profession, psychology has burgeoned in the last two decades; programs for training psychologists have been expanded; and applications of psychology have been extended beyond schools to clinical, counselling, industrial/organizational, military, and sports settings.
