Abstract:

Social scientific measurement is much desired and much criticized. In this dissertation I evaluate one of the main approaches to social scientific measurement that has nevertheless been virtually ignored by philosophers - the psychometric approach. Psychometric measures are typically used to measure unobservable attributes such as intelligence and personality. They typically take the form of questionnaires or tests and are validated by statistical tests of properties such as reliability and model-fit. My thesis is two-fold. In the first, more critical part, I argue that psychometric instrument

Abstract:

This research introduces the concept of “brand addiction” as a new marketing construct. Employing conceptual development, the concept of brand addiction is defined as a psychological state that entails an obsessive relationship between the consumer and a specific brand. To examine the phenomenon of brand addiction, the present research was designed based on a partial sequential mixed methods research in which a qualitative study was followed by a quantitative study. Arguing that research on brand addiction should be built based on an understanding of how consumers experience this phenomenon in

The purpose of this study was to increase the student's understanding of the measures of area and perimeter of polygons. The goal of the project was to create a supplemental geometry unit to develop the concept of the area and perimeter of a polygon without the use of formulas and numbers and to measure the effectiveness of this unit on student understanding. Two high school geometry classes with under 28 students each participated in this study.

Abstract:

Recent research into academic self-concept has included investigations into domain- specific self-concepts. Examples include Lau et al (1999) within English, Marsh et al. (1997) within physical education and Vispoel (2003) within Music. They have all indicated these subjects to be multidimensional in nature, consisting of distinct sub- domains. This is an important finding and helps teachers and researchers to understand how pupils feel about themselves as learners. In contrast there have been few, if any, studies about this within the subject area of science. Up to now self-concept in science

I present a theoretical extension to an experimental proposal from Leggett and Garg, who suggested that the quantum-or-classical reality of a macroscopic system may be probed with successive measurements arra

The marine carbonate chemistry system is the reactions and dynamic equilibria in seawater that involve dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) and the deprotonated forms of carbonic acid, which are bicarbonate ions and carbonate ions. This system affects other marine biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems through its strong influence on seawater pH. Currently, a rapid chemical perturbation is being driven by the accumulation of anthropogenic CO2 in the ocean, which has taken up a significant fraction of the CO2 emitted to the atmosphere by fossil fuel burning, cement manufacture and land-use change since

Abstract:

The daily lives of children and the childcare provided by parents; forms the nucleus of this PhD i thesis. Using the United Kingdom Time Use Survey 2000 (UKTUS), a comprehensive picture of the care provided by parents is developed; and the daily lives of children and young people are analysed in detail. The thesis makes full use of the available time-use data by exploiting not only the activity diaries, but also all of the available data concerning who people are with and where they are throughout the day. The thesis is an example of the scope and potential of time-use data, and contributes si

Abstract:

A fundamental study of the Herschel-Quincke (HQ) tube concept for the reduction of noise in circular ducts is presented here. Recent testing of the Herschel-Quincke tube concept on the Pratt-Whitney JT15D and AlliedSignal TFE731-60 engines showed the potential for the practical application of this approach. A model of the HQ-system has been developed to aid in the design of the system tested. The model has revealed new noise control mechanisms associated to the implementation of multiple HQ-waveguides in a duct in the presence of higher order modes. However, the practical nature of these eng

Abstract:

Non-monetary deprivation indicators are now widely used for studying and measuring poverty in Europe. However, despite their prevalence, the empirical performance of existing deprivation scales has rarely been examined. This thesis i) identifies possible conceptual problems of existing deprivation scales such as indexing, missing dimensions and threshold; ii) empirically assesses the extent of possible error in measurement related to these conceptual problems; and iii) offer an alternative way for constructing deprivation measures to mitigate the identified conceptual problems. The thesis cons
