Abstract:

In this educational ethnography, I focused on how parents and students enrolled in a public charter high school in Sundale City (pseudonym), Arizona made the choice to attend a charter school. I also focused on educational reforms in the context of two large district high schools to further contextualize family choice-making. In contrast to the prevailing view that it is primarily parents with the requisite cultural and social capital who access school choice, participants in this study were `forced' to choose an alternative to their neighborhood district school due to the harmful effects of b

Thesis advisor: James A. Russell<br>Prior research showing that children recognize emotional expressions has used a choice-from-array style task; for example, children are asked to find the fear face in an array of several expressions. However, these choice-from-array tasks allow for the use of a process of elimination strategy in which children could select an expression they are unfamiliar with when presented a label that does not apply to other expressions in the array. Across six studies (N = 144), 80% of 2- to 4-year-olds selected a novel expression when presented a target label and perfo

Abstract:

This thesis examined decision making in the context of forced-choice situations, as characterised by high-risk consequences and time-limited conditions, within an experimental decision paradigm. By mapping onto basic decision-making stages relating to evaluation, deliberation and implementation of a choice, this research looks at how environmental conditions (emotion) and information (advice) affect cognitive processing in forced-choice or “do or don’t” scenarios. In order to identify these variations on a more fundamental level, a methodological framework was developed, which incorporates neu

Abstract:

This work explores a novel vision model based coding approach to encode medical images at a perceptually lossless quality, within the framework of the JPEG 2000 coding engine. Perceptually lossless encoding offers the best of both worlds, delivering images free of visual distortions and at the same time providing significantly greater compression ratio gains over its information lossless counterparts. This is achieved through a visual pruning function, embedded with an advanced model of the human visual system to accurately identify and to efficiently remove visually irrelevant/insignificant i

Abstract:

The assessment of noncognitive constructs poses a number of challenges that set it apart from traditional cognitive ability measurement. Of particular concern is the influence of response biases and response styles that can influence the accuracy of scale scores. One strategy to address these concerns is to use alternative item presentation formats (such as multidimensional forced choice (MFC) pairs, triads, and tetrads) that may provide resistance to such biases. A variety of strategies for constructing and scoring these forced choice measured have been proposed, though they often require lar

Abstract:

The sex difference in forced-choice sexual jealousy responses has over the past 20 years gradually been established as a stable sex difference by the empirical literature (e.g. Sagarin et al., 2012). The search of possible moderators of the sex-difference has therefore been intensified. In this thesis I aim to investigate to what extent, if any at all, does earlier relationship experiences act as a stable moderator of the sex-difference. For that purpose, I administrated four infidelity scenarios and questions regarding earlier relationship to 473 undergraduate students, 281 women and 192 men.

Abstract:

To control various response biases and rater errors in noncognitive assessment, multidimensional forced choice (MFC) measures have been proposed as an alternative to single-statement Likert-type scales. Historically, MFC measures have been criticized because conventional scoring methods can lead to ipsativity problems that render scores unsuitable for inter-individual comparisons. However, with the recent advent of classical test theory and item response theory scoring methods that yield normative information, MFC measures are surging in popularity and becoming important components of personne

Two existing theories of masking - Bachmann's (1984) perceptual retouch theory and Marcel's (1983) recovery theory - are discussed along with the global neuronal workspace theory of awareness (Baars. 1989; Dehaene, Kerszberg, & Changeux, 1998).

Abstract:

Multidimensional forced-choice questionnaires can reduce the impact of numerous response biases typically associated with Likert scales. However, if scored with traditional methodology these instruments produce ipsative data, which has psychometric problems, such as constrained total test score and negative average scale inter-correlation. Ipsative scores distort scale relationships and reliability estimates, and make interpretation of scores problematic. This research demonstrates how Item Response Theory (IRT) modeling may be applied to overcome these problems. A multidimensional IRT model f

Individuals with APD have difficulty recognising speech when parts of the signal are missing.

A reliable and valid instrument for the direct measurement of the relative strength of psychological needs is currently lacking. In response to this shortcoming, a new ipsative instrument, the Psychogenic Need Scale (PNS), is currently being developed; this is a 190-item forced-choice self-report measure that is based upon Murray’s psychogenic needs. For the development of a valid forced-choice instrument, it is critical to minimise the confounding effects of social desirability (the tendency for respondents to describe oneself in the most favourable light).

Given that the logical validity of an argument is independent of its content, being influenced by your prior beliefs in such content is considered a bias. Traditional theories posit there are two belief bias components. Motivated reasoning is the tendency to reason better for arguments with unbe

Abstract:

This thesis consists of five essays on the economic outcomes of immigrants and homosexuals on the labour and housing market. Essay I evaluates the effect of an in-work benefit on the labour supply of single immigrant women by means of simulation. Although, on average, there is no significant effect, we find that the in-work benefit increases the working hours of single women with low incomes and slightly decreases the working hours of those with high incomes. The increase in working hours is primarily a result of increased participation. As expected, the positive effect is largest for the immi

Abstract:

La quantification de l'activité physique et sportive contribue à mettre en évidence le rôle déterminant des activités physiques et de leurs conditions de pratique dans le processus du vieillissement humain. Une revue de la littérature révèle d'une part l'existence de nombreux questionnaires d'évaluation de l'activité physique sur des périodes de temps courtes, mais pour la plupart élaborés en langue anglaise, et d'autre part le manque d'instruments visant à évaluer l'activité physique sur des périodes de temps longues. Ce constat nous a conduit à adapter un questionnaire anglo-saxon destiné à

Abstract:

L’autorité de la chose jugée est consubstantielle à l’idée même de justice. Si l’arbitrage est une justice privée et contractuelle mais une «justice quand même», elle doit logiquement composer avec l’autorité de la chose jugée. Il faut d’abord que les décisions issues de cette justice puissent bénéficier d’une telle autorité ; il faut ensuite que les juridictions arbitrales respectent l’autorité des décisions qui ont été rendues antérieurement. C’est ce second point qui est le cœur de notre étude.Du point de vue de l’arbitre du commerce international, la question de l’autorité des décisions, q

Abstract:

This thesis consists of four empirical essays on the topics of ethnic segregation, gender economics, and self-employment. Essay I investigates how the residential mobility of Sweden's native population contributes to ethnic segregation, by applying regression discontinuity methods. The results show that the growth in the native population in a neighbourhood discontinuously drops as the share of non-European immigrants exceeds the tipping point. Tipping is driven by the departure of natives and their avoidance of tipped neighbourhoods. Tipping behaviour is selective in the sense that highly
