Abstract:

<p> Police officers decide to detain and search civilians under uncertainty and risk, and both false positive and false negative errors can be costly. The courts apply the <i>reasonable suspicion</i> standard of proof to evaluate the constitutionality of nonconsensual stops and searches, placing an ambiguous and subjective assessment of a poorly understood psychological state at the center of laws, policies, and trainings on police-civilian contact. The law and psychology of suspicion may have important effects on the frequency, accuracy, and reporting of policing decisions. Investigating thos

Abstract:

When a crime has occurred, witness statements are taken. Witnesses, in particular earwitnesses, however lack accuracy in identification. There is no working model or interview guide on how to best achieve accurate earwitness identifications. However, previous studies suggest that voice descriptions could be helpful. This study investigated if overt examples of voice characteristics would improve earwitnesses accuracy in identification. A total of 53 participants answered an online survey. The participants listened to a threatening voice and afterwards tried to identify the voice from a line-up

Abstract:

<p> Self-regulation is considered one of the most important operations of the human self and is correlated with multiple variables. The objective of this quantitative study was to explore the relationship between one’s capacity to generate vivid visual mental images and one’s capacity for both behavioral and physiological self-regulation. Fifty-three participants completed three assessments for this study: the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ-2) measured capacity for mental imagery; the Self-Regulation Questionnaire measured behavioral self-regulation; and a baseline

Abstract:

This paper reviews the history of conceptual relations between theoretical and quantitative psychology. The concepts of mathematical psychology, psychometry, and their links to psychological structuralisms and functionalisms are reviewed. This work stresses the need of giving a psychological theoretical background to the quantitative point of view in psychology. Spearman's theory of intelligence is proposed as a model of synthesis between theoretical and quantitative psychology; it is proposed also to integrare psychometry with experimental psychology to proof psychological hyphotesis derived

Abstract:

The scores or metrics from psychological measures are rarely interpretable. Uninterpretable metrics result in poorly understood psychological research findings. In response to this problem, several methods are proposed that render metrics more meaningful. The methods employed are calibration procedures. Three calibration procedures are illustrated that prove to be extremely powerful in making the metrics of two related measures more understandable. Establishing the behavioral implications of the scores, computing just noticeable differences, and calibrating between measures are the three proce

Abstract:

Workplace bullying has gained widespread attention as contributing to the increase in organizational costs and the reduction in employee productivity. Organizations and human resource departments have conducted studies and developed prevention programs to address bullies, but few studies or programs have focused on the role of victims in the onset of bullying. This quantitative study examined the relationship between bullying victimization in the workplace, focusing on personality traits, specific problem solving, and a victim's locus of control belief. A sample (N = 94) of male and female col

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the abilities of students to fake good on the MMPI, to identify particular MMPI clinical scales most vulnerable to faking good and to determine the efficacy of the MMPI validity scales to detect that faking. A dual administration design was used. Subjects took the MMPI once under standard instructions and once under instructions to fake good. Faking good was measured by comparing the two profiles and calculating the change in $T$-score points in going from the standard to the fake-good condition across the clinical and validity scales. A counterbala

Abstract:

People use information on how often events occur as the basis for many decisions they must make. For example, it has been shown that people will credit a statement as being more true the more frequently they have heard it. Additionally, probability information derived from observations of the frequency of occurrence of events has been shown to play a role in concept formation. One of the primary controversies in the study of how individuals process frequency information revolves around the contention that the encoding of frequency information is an automatic process (one that requires little o
