Twenty-nine teams involving 61 analysts used the same data set to address research question: whether soccer referees are more likely give red cards dark-skin-toned players than light-skin-toned players. Analytic approaches varied widely across teams, and estimated effect sizes ranged from 0.89 2.93 ( Mdn = 1.31) in odds-ratio units. Twenty (69%) found a statistically significant positive effect, 9 (31%) did not observe relationship. Overall, 29 different analyses 21 unique combinations of...
The main aim of this study is to explore the breadth inference field and type etiopathogenetic contents symptom explanations provided by client therapist in first two psychotherapy sessions conducted using a systemic approach. Does use triadic psychopathology as suggested her approach? And do clients resort almost exclusively monadic dyadic did university students our previous study? What kind they propose? coding system "1 3: from monad triad" was applied transcripts 25 individual therapies...
Three measures of internal consistency – Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 (KR20), Cronbach's alpha (α), and person separation reliability (R) are considered. KR20 α common in classical test theory, whereas R is developed modern theory and, more precisely, Rasch measurement. These three specify the observed variance as sum true error variance. However, they differ for way which these quantities obtained. uses an "average" respondent from sample, overestimates respondents with high or low scores....

This work illustrates the advantages of using machine learning classifiers in psychiatric assessment. Machine learning-decision trees (ML-DTs) represent a new approach to scoring and interpreting psychodiagnostic test data that allows for increasing assessment accuracy efficiency. The is outlined an easy yet detailed way, its application illustrated on real data. Specifically, cross-sectional concerning nonclinical clinical Japanese populations were taken from panel registered with internet...
The traditional approach to the measurement of change presents important drawbacks (no information at individual level, ordinal scores, variance instrument across time points), which Rasch models overcome. article aims illustrate features with models. To using models, quantitative data a longitudinal study heart-surgery patients (N = 98) were used. scale "Perception Positive Change" was used as an example instrument. All underwent cardiac rehabilitation, psychological intervention, and...
This study explores the conditional dependencies among items in Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices (CPM), a non-verbal measure of cognitive ability and fluid intelligence, within sample school-aged children. To this aim, we applied Bayesian networks (BNs), to data obtained from 255 participants, aged 4 11 years. We evaluated variety models, starting complete independence model progressing sequential, data-informed structures. The results highlighted that inter-item were particularly...
In mental health, accurate symptom assessment and precise measurement of patient conditions are crucial for clinical decision-making effective treatment planning. Traditional methods can be burdensome, especially vulnerable populations, leading to decreased motivation potentially unreliable results. Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) has emerged as a solution, offering efficient personalized assessments. particular, Machine Learning-based CAT (MT-based CATs) enables adaptive, rapid,...
There are many open questions concerning the development of calling, and longitudinal empirical evidence is limited. We know that a calling associated with beneficial outcomes, but we do not how it changes through time what predicts these changes. Previous studies have shown relatively stable at sample level. show that, individual level, shows huge variations time. identified nine developmental trajectories typical across facets found fostered by extent to which individuals lived out. also...
The accumulation of scientific knowledge on calling is limited by the absence a common theoretical and measurement framework. Many different models have been proposed, we do not know how much research results that refer to specific model are generalizable accounts calling. In this article, investigate whether two leading tackle same construct. were merged into comprehensive framework measures across seven facets: Passion, Purposefulness, Sacrifice, Pervasiveness, Prosocial Orientation,...
The present work aims at developing a new version of the short form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised, which includes Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Lie scales (48 items, 12 per scale). consists two studies. In first one, an item response theory model was estimated on responses 590 individuals to full-length questionnaire (100 items). analyses allowed selection 48 items well discriminating distributed along latent continuum each trait, without misfit differential...
The present article lays out the foundations of an axiomatic theory attribute maps, extension skill maps to polytomous knowledge structure theory. A deterministic relationship between available attributes and observable item responses is established by means two mappings denoted map item–response function. assigns each pair set that are instrumental for observing particular response item. function that, according map, can be obtained with those attributes. proposed approach shown rather...
Background: Coping with chronic illness can be overwhelming for patients and caregivers, may inhibited by the denial mechanism, therefore, represents a critical issue health professionals. Assessing is far from easy, brief tools suitable medical settings are lacking. In this paper, development of short form Illness Denial Questionnaire (IDQ) caregivers presented. Methods: study 1, IDQ was administered to 118 83 examine internal structure denial; then properties items (DIF, fit, difficulty)...
The gain–loss model (GaLoM) is a formal for assessing knowledge and learning. In its original formulation, the GaLoM assumes independence among skills. Such an assumption not reasonable in several domains, which some preliminary foundation other knowledge. This paper presents extension of to case skills are independent, dependence relation them described by well‐graded competence space. probability mastering skill s at pretest conditional on presence all depends. probabilities gaining or...
The article aims to measure implicit sexual attitude in heterosexual, gay and bisexual individuals. A Many-Facet Rasch Measurement analysis was used disentangle the contribution of specific associations overall IAT measure. preference for heterosexuals relative homosexuals is observed heterosexual respondents, driven most by associating positive attributes with rather than negative homosexuals. Differently, neither nor evaluation any target groups play a prominent role driving respondents....
Missing data are a well known issue in statistical inference, because some responses may be missing, even when collected carefully. The problem that arises these cases is how to deal with missing data. In this article, the missingness analyzed knowledge space theory, and particular basic local independence model (BLIM) applied Two extensions of BLIM proposed: former, called ignorable (IMBLIM), assumes completely at random; latter, (MissBLIM), introduces specific dependencies on states, thus...
