Abstract:

This study examined the reliability and validity of scores taken from a series of four task simulations used to evaluate medical students. The four role-play exercises represented two different cases or scripts, yielding two pairs of exercises that are considered alternate forms. The design allowed examining what is essentially the ceiling for reliability and validity of ratings taken in such role plays. A multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrix was computed with exercises as methods and competencies (history taking, clinical skills, and communication) as traits. The results within alternate form

Abstract:

Abnormal motor behavior associated with psychopathology was investigated in this study using a nontraditional inventory, the Movement Psychodiagnostic Inventory, with a sample of psychiatric patients that included personality disorders and individuals with schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The study was designed to address several methodological and measurement problems noted in the literature, and to this end ratings were made from video-taped observations allowing detection of subtle movements described in terms of their dynamic, spatial, rhythmic, and muscular involvement

Abstract:

Objective: Obesity is one of the leading public health problems worldwide. Obese individuals are often stigmatized and the psychosocial consequences of overweight and obesity are the subject of current research. To detect stigmatizing attitudes towards obese people, the Fat Phobia Scale (FPS) was developed in the USA in the early nineties. In addition, the 14-item short form of the FPS was constructed. The FPS belongs to the most commonly used instruments for measuring negative attitudes towards obese people because of its good psychometric properties. For the recently developed German short f

Abstract:

Impulsivity is a complex behavioural and personality construct that is correlated to aggression (Fossati et al., 2004) and major mental disorders (Enticott, Ogloff, Bradshaw, & Fitzgerald, 2008). The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS; Barratt, 1959) is arguably the most commonly administered self-report measure of impulsiveness in both research and clinical settings (Spinella, 2007). However, the extant literature reveals a confusion surrounding the BIS, in particular version 11a (Barratt, 1994). Stanford et al. (2009) warn against its use due to its invalidity and unreliability.

Abstract:

In structural equation models with latent variables, maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is currently the most prevailing estimation method. However, the ML method fails to provide accurate solutions in a number of situations including those involving small sample sizes, nonnormality, and model misspecification. To over come these difficulties, regularized extensions of two-stage least squares estimation are proposed that incorporate a ridge type of regularization in the estimation of parameters.

Abstract:

Structural equation modeling (SEM) is often used to investigate effective connectivity in functional neuroimaging studies. Modeling effective connectivity refers to an approach in which a number of specific brain regions, called regions of interest (ROIs), are selected according to some prior knowledge about the regions, and directional (causal) relationships between them are hypothesized and tested. Existing methods for SEM, however, have serious limitations in terms of their computational capacity and the range of models that can be specified. To alleviate these difficulties, I propose a new

Abstract:

<p> Although nations with a dominant worldview of individualism are a minority in the world as a whole, most psychological models are generated based on research conducted in these countries.

Due to the absence of an existing cross-culturally relevant measure of well-being, the Multidimensional Well-Being Assessment (MWA) was developed. As attention to Middle Eastern populations ha

The majority of data used in outcome research has until recently been based primarily on treatment provider observations of the patient. Estimating the effect of rehabilitation treatment on functional ability is increasingly relying on patient self-report ratings. Controlling for measurement bias associated with the subjective nature of this type of data was handled by putting self-report and clinician responses to items on an 11-item functional ability instrument into the same metric using a Rasch model, allowing for an accurate picture of whether and how their perceptions differ.

Seven manifest method categories are described: stimulus format, response format, response categories, raters, whether the measure is direct or summative, rating the stimulus or the response, and opaque or

Without a good understanding of these algorithms, design flaws can appear in Monte Carlo studies which can influence the recommendations offered to applied researchers.

Abstract:

Recent studies at the interface of social cognition and personality theory have stressed lay persons' ability to 'function as intuitive psychometricians' (Epstein and Teraspulsky, 1986). This research argues that lay persons not only show a substantial degree of accuracy in estimating cross-situational generality of behaviour, but also take into account principles of aggregation over time. In contrast, it is argued here that lay persons' perceptions of the degree of relatedness of different behaviours are mediated largely by the decontextualized semantic relationships between behavioural descr

Abstract:

<p> Latent growth curve modeling is an increasingly popular approach for evaluating longitudinal data. Researchers tend to focus on overall model fit information or component model fit information when evaluating a latent growth curve model (LGCM). However, there is also an interest in understanding a given individual's level and pattern of change over time, specifically an interest in identifying observations with aberrant patterns of change. Thus it is also important to examine model fit at the level of the individual. Currently there are several proposed approaches for evaluating person lev

Although a number of attempts at integrating different methodologies have been recently reported, these have failed to produce an integrative theory of environmental aesthetics due to experimental and theoretical problems inherent in
