Abstract
Abstract This study proposes a method of measuring social value orientation using model-based scoring and a task suitable for such scoring. We evaluated this method by means of parameter recovery simulation (Study 1), and we examined its retest reliability (Study 2) and its predictive validity (Study 3). The results indicate that the proposed method has low bias and sufficient predictive validity. While the improvement in predictive validity of altruism was negligible and comparable to previous scoring methods in terms of confidence intervals, the measurement of equality using the proposed model and task combination produced a moderate correlation that was not observed with other methods. Although SVO is a concept used primarily in psychology, the model assumed in this study is mathematically equivalent to a well-known economics model. We, therefore, suggest that this method may lead to cross-disciplinary research.
期刊介绍:
Behaviormetrika is issued twice a year to provide an international forum for new theoretical and empirical quantitative approaches in data science. When Behaviormetrika was launched in 1974, the journal advocated data science, as an interdisciplinary field that included the use of statistical methods to extract meaningful knowledge from data in its various forms: structured or unstructured. Behaviormetrika is the oldest journal addressing the topic of data science. The first editor-in-chief of Behaviormetrika, Dr. Chikio Hayashi, described data science in this way:“Data science is not only a synthetic concept to unify statistics, data analysis, and their related methods; it also comprises its results. Data science is intended to analyze and understand actual phenomena with ‘data.’ In other words, the aim of data science is to reveal the features or the hidden structure of complicated natural, human, and social phenomena using data from a different perspective from the established or traditional theory and method.” Behaviormetrika is a fully refereed international journal, which publishes original research papers, notes, and review articles. Subject areas suitable for publication include but are not limited to the following methodologies and fields. Methodologies Data scienceMathematical statisticsSurvey methodologiesArtificial intelligence Information theoryMachine learning Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD)Graphical modelsComputer scienceAlgorithms FieldsMedicinePsychologyEducationEconomicsMarketingSocial scienceSociologyPolitical sciencePolicy scienceCognitive scienceBrain science
