The construct "self" appears in diverse forms in theories about what it is to be a person. As the sense of "self" is typically assessed through personal reports, differences in its description undoubtedly reflect significant differences in peoples' apperception of self. This report describes the development, reliability, and factorial structure of the Experience of Sense of Self (E-SOS), an inventory designed to assess one's perception of self in relation to the person's perception of various potential "others." It does so using Venn diagrams to depict and quantify the experienced overlap between the self and "others." Participant responses to the instrument were studied through Exploratory Factor Analysis. This yielded a five-factor solution: 1) Experience of Positive Sensation; 2) Experience of Challenges; 3) Experience of Temptations; 4) Experience of Higher Power; and 5) Experience of Family. The items comprising each of these were found to produce reliable subscales. Further research with the E-SOS and suggestions for its use are offered.

“自我”这个构式在关于什么是人的理论中以多种形式出现。由于“自我”感通常是通过个人报告来评估的,其描述的差异无疑反映了人们对自我统觉的显著差异。本报告描述了自我感觉体验(E-SOS)的发展、可靠性和析因结构,这是一个旨在评估一个人对自我的感知与对各种潜在“他人”的感知之间关系的清单。它使用维恩图来描述和量化自我和“他人”之间的经验重叠。通过探索性因素分析研究了参与者对该工具的反应。这产生了一个五要素解决方案:1)体验积极感觉;2)挑战经历;3)试探的经历;4)更高权力的体验;5)家庭经验。我们发现,包含上述每一项的项目都产生了可靠的子量表。对E-SOS进行了进一步的研究,并提出了使用建议。

Contents Meta-Analysis is a procedure designed to quantitatively analyze the methodological characteristics in studies sampled in conventional meta-analyses to assess the relationship between methodologies and outcomes. This article presents the rationale and procedures for conducting a Contents Meta-Analysis in conjunction with conventional Effects Meta-analysis. We provide an overview of the pertinent limitations of conventional meta-analysis from methodological and meta-scientific standpoint. We then introduce novel terminology distinguishing different kinds of complementary meta-analyses that address many of the problems previously identified for conventional meta-analyses. We would also like to direct readers to the second paper in this series (Figueredo, Black, & Scott, this issue), which demonstrates the utility of Contents Meta-Analysis with an empirical example and present findings regarding the generalizability of the effect sizes estimated.

A Case Study About Why It Can Be Difficult To Test Whether Propensity Score Analysis Works in Field Experiments 一个关于为什么倾向得分分析在现场实验中难以检验的案例研究

Peikes, Moreno and Orzol (2008) sensibly caution researchers that propensity score analysis may not lead to valid causal inference in field applications. But at the same time, they made the far stronger claim to have performed an ideal test of whether propensity score matching in quasi-experimental data is capable of approximating the results of a randomized experiment in their dataset, and that this ideal test showed that such matching could not do so. In this article we show that their study does not support that conclusion because it failed to meet a number of basic criteria for an ideal test. By implication, many other purported tests of the effectiveness of propensity score analysis probably also fail to meet these criteria, and are therefore questionable contributions to the literature on the effects of propensity score analysis.

Peikes, Moreno和Orzol(2008)明智地提醒研究者,倾向得分分析可能不会在现场应用中导致有效的因果推理。但与此同时,他们更有力地声称,他们已经进行了一项理想的测试,以检验准实验数据中的倾向得分匹配是否能够接近他们数据集中随机实验的结果,而这一理想测试表明,这种匹配无法做到这一点。在这篇文章中,我们表明他们的研究并不支持这一结论,因为它未能满足理想测试的一些基本标准。通过暗示,许多其他声称的倾向得分分析有效性的测试可能也不符合这些标准,因此对倾向得分分析效果的文献的贡献值得怀疑。DOI: 10.2458 / azu_jmmss_v3i2_shadish

How Taking a Word for a Word Can Be Problematic: Context-Dependent Linguistic Markers of Extraversion and Neuroticism 把一个词当作一个词怎么可能有问题:外倾性和神经质的语境依赖的语言标记
Pub Date : 2013-02-15 DOI: 10.2458/V3I2.16477

This study conceptually extends recent research on linguistic markers of psychological processes by demonstrating that psychological correlates of word use can vary with the context in which the words are used. The word use of 90 participants was analyzed across two theoretically defined communication contexts. Information about participants’ public language use was derived from recorded snippets of their daily conversations with others. Information about their private language use was derived from stream-of-consciousness essays. Personality trait–word use associations emerged as highly context dependent. Extraversion as a public trait was related to verbal productivity in public but not private language. Neuroticism as a private trait was related to the verbal expression of emotions in private but not public language. Verbal immediacy was indicative of Extraversion in public and Neuroticism in private language use. The findings illustrate the importance of considering communication contexts in research on psychological implications of natural language use.
这项研究从概念上扩展了最近关于心理过程的语言标记的研究,证明了词汇使用的心理相关因素可以随着词汇使用的语境而变化。研究人员分析了90名参与者在两种理论上定义的交流环境中的用词。参与者的公共语言使用信息来源于他们与他人日常对话的录音片段。他们的私人语言使用信息来源于意识流散文。人格特质-词汇使用关联表现为高度情境依赖。外向性作为一种公共特征与公共语言的语言生产力有关,但与私人语言无关。神经质作为一种私人特质,与私人语言的情感表达有关,而与公共语言无关。言语即时性在公共场合表现为外向性,在私人场合表现为神经质。这些发现说明了在研究自然语言使用的心理影响时考虑交际语境的重要性。

Problems in Using Diagnosis in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Research 儿童青少年心理健康服务中诊断应用的问题研究
Pub Date : 2012-10-02 DOI: 10.2458/V3I1.16110

This paper presents results from a three-part study on diagnosis of children with affective and behavior disorders. We examined the reliability, discriminant, and predictive validity of common diagnoses used in mental health services research using a research diagnostic interview. Results suggest four problems: a) some diagnoses demonstrate internal consistency only slightly better than symptoms chosen at random; b) diagnosis did not add appreciably to a brief global functioning screen in predicting service use; c) low inter-rater reliability among informants and clinicians for six of the most common diagnoses; and d) clinician diagnoses differed between sites in ways that reflect different reimbursement strategies. The study concludes that clinicians and researchers should not assume diagnosis is a useful measure of child and adolescent problems and outcomes until there is more evidence supporting the validity of diagnosis.

本文介绍了一项关于情感和行为障碍儿童诊断的三部分研究的结果。我们使用研究诊断访谈来检验心理健康服务研究中常用诊断的信度、判别性和预测效度。结果显示了四个问题:a)一些诊断的内部一致性仅略好于随机选择的症状;B)诊断在预测服务使用方面没有明显地增加简短的全球功能筛查;C)在六种最常见的诊断中,举报人和临床医生之间的可信度较低;d)不同地点的临床医生诊断的不同反映了不同的报销策略。该研究的结论是,在有更多证据支持诊断的有效性之前,临床医生和研究人员不应该假设诊断是儿童和青少年问题和结果的有用衡量标准。DOI: 10.2458 / azu_jmmss_v3i1_bickman

The purpose of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of a cardiovascular health knowledge measure for adolescents using item response theory. The measure was developed in the context of a cardiovascular lifestyle intervention for adolescents with elevated blood pressure. Sample consisted of 167 adolescents (mean age = 16.2 years) who completed the Cardiovascular Health Knowledge Assessment (CHKA), a 34-item multiple choice test, at baseline and post-intervention. The CHKA was unidimensional and internal consistency was .65 at pretest and .74 at posttest. Rasch analysis results indicated that at pretest the items targeted adolescents with variable levels of health knowledge. However, based on results at posttest, additional hard items are needed to account for the increase in level of cardiovascular health knowledge at post-intervention. Change in knowledge scores was examined using Rasch analysis. Findings indicated there was significant improvement in health knowledge over time [t(119) = -10.3, p< .0001]. In summary, the CHKA appears to contain items that are good approximations of the construct cardiovascular health knowledge and items that target adolescents with moderate levels of knowledge.

本研究的目的是利用项目反应理论评估青少年心血管健康知识测量的心理测量特性。这项措施是在对血压升高的青少年进行心血管生活方式干预的背景下制定的。样本包括167名青少年(平均年龄= 16.2岁),他们在基线和干预后完成了心血管健康知识评估(CHKA),这是一项34项多项选择测试。CHKA为单向度,内部一致性前测为0.65,后测为0.74。Rasch分析结果表明,前测项目针对的是健康知识水平不同的青少年。然而,根据后测结果,需要额外的硬项目来解释干预后心血管健康知识水平的增加。知识得分的变化采用Rasch分析进行检验。研究结果显示,随着时间的推移,健康知识有了显著改善[t(119) = -10.3, p< 0.0001]。综上所述,CHKA似乎包含的项目很好地近似于心血管健康知识的构建,以及针对具有中等知识水平的青少年的项目。DOI: 10.2458 / azu_jmmss_v3i1_fitzpatrick

Thinking Inside the Box: Simple Methods to Evaluate Complex Treatments 盒子里的思考:评估复杂治疗的简单方法
Pub Date : 2011-10-03 DOI: 10.2458/V2I1.12365

We risk ignoring cheaper and safer medical treatments because they cannot be patented, lack profit potential, require too much patient-contact time, or do not have scientific results. Novel medical treatments may be difficult to evaluate for a variety of reasons such as patient selection bias, the effect of the package of care, or the lack of identifying the active elements of treatment. Whole Systems Research (WSR) is an approach designed to assess the performance of complete packages of clinical management. While the WSR method is compelling, there is no standard procedure for WSR, and its implementation may be intimidating. The truth is that WSR methodological tools are neither new nor complicated. There are two sequential steps, or boxes, that guide WSR methodology: establishing system predictability, followed by an audit of system element effectiveness. We describe the implementation of WSR with a particular attention to threats to validity (Shadish, Cook, & Campbell, 2002; Shadish & Heinsman, 1997). DOI:10.2458/azu_jmmss_v2i1_menke
我们有可能忽视更便宜、更安全的医疗方法,因为它们不能获得专利,缺乏盈利潜力,需要太多的患者接触时间,或者没有科学结果。由于各种原因,如患者选择偏差、一揽子护理的效果或缺乏确定治疗的积极因素,新的医学治疗可能难以评估。全系统研究(WSR)是一种方法,旨在评估临床管理的完整包的性能。虽然WSR方法引人注目,但是WSR没有标准的过程,而且它的实现可能令人生畏。事实是,WSR方法工具既不新颖也不复杂。有两个连续的步骤,或框,指导WSR方法:建立系统可预测性,然后是对系统元素有效性的审计。我们在描述WSR的实施时特别关注有效性的威胁(Shadish, Cook, & Campbell, 2002;Shadish & Heinsman, 1997)。DOI: 10.2458 / azu_jmmss_v2i1_menke

Novel medical treatments may be difficult to evaluate for a variety of reasons such as patient selection bias, the effect of the package of care, or the lack of identifying the active elements of treatment. Whole Systems Research (WSR) is an approach designed to assess the performance of complete packages of clinical management. While the WSR method is compelling, there is no standard procedure for WSR, and its implementation may be intimidating. The truth is that WSR methodological tools are neither new nor complicated. There are two sequential steps, or boxes, that guide WSR methodology: establishing system predictability, followed by an audit of system element effectiveness. We describe the implementation of WSR with a particular attention to threats to validity (Shadish, Cook, & Campbell, 2002; Shadish & Heinsman, 1997).

The process of constructing a fixed-length conventional test frequently focuses on maximizing internal consistency reliability by selecting test items that are of average difficulty and high discrimination (a “peaked” test). The effect of constructing such a test, when viewed from the perspective of item response theory, is test scores that are precise for examinees whose trait levels are near the point at which the test is peaked; as examinee trait levels deviate from the mean, the precision of their scores decreases substantially. Results of a small simulation study demonstrate that when peaked tests are “off target” for an examinee, their scores are biased and have spuriously high standard deviations, reflecting substantial amounts of error. These errors can reduce the correlations of these kinds of scores with other variables and adversely affect the results of standard statistical tests. By contrast, scores from adaptive tests are essentially unbiased and have standard deviations that are much closer to true values. Basic concepts of adaptive testing are introduced and fully adaptive computerized tests (CATs) based on IRT are described. Several examples of response records from CATs are discussed to illustrate how CATs function. Some operational issues, including item exposure, content balancing, and enemy items are also briefly discussed. It is concluded that because CAT constructs a unique test for examinee, scores from CATs will be more precise and should provide better data for social science research and applications.
构建固定长度常规测试的过程通常侧重于通过选择平均难度和高判别性的测试项目(“峰值”测试)来最大化内部一致性信度。从项目反应理论的角度来看,构建这样一个测试的效果是,对于那些特质水平接近测试峰值的考生来说,测试分数是精确的;由于考生的特征水平偏离平均值,其分数的精度大大降低。一项小型模拟研究的结果表明,当峰值测试对考生来说“偏离目标”时,他们的分数是有偏见的,并且具有虚假的高标准偏差,反映了大量的错误。这些误差可以降低这些分数与其他变量的相关性,并对标准统计检验的结果产生不利影响。相比之下,适应性测试的分数基本上是无偏的,其标准偏差更接近真实值。介绍了自适应测试的基本概念,描述了基于IRT的全自适应计算机化测试(CATs)。本文讨论了cat的几个响应记录示例,以说明cat是如何工作的。一些操作问题,包括道具暴露,内容平衡和敌人道具也进行了简要讨论。由于CAT为考生构建了一个独特的测试,因此CAT的分数将更加精确,并且应该为社会科学研究和应用提供更好的数据。
