In this paper, we critically review the conceptualization and implementation of psychological measures life history strategy associated with Differential K theory. The High Strategy Scale (HKSS: Giosan, 2006 ) was distributed to a large British sample ( n = 809) aim assessing its factor structure construct validity in relation theoretically relevant variables: age puberty, first sexual encounter, number partners. Exploratory confirmatory analyses indicated that HKSS current form did not show...
A recent study by Baye and Monseur (Large Scale Assess Educ 4:1–16, 2016) using large, international educational data sets suggest that the "greater male variation hypothesis" is well supported. Males are often over-represented at tails of ability distribution despite similarity in measures central tendency gradual closing attainment gap relative to females. In this study, we replicate expand Monseur's work, explore greater variability country meta-analysis meta-regression. While broadly...
Ideal partner preferences (i.e., ratings of the desirability attributes like attractiveness or intelligence) are source numerous foundational findings in interdisciplinary literature on human mating. Recently, research predictive validity ideal preference matching Do people positively evaluate partners who match vs. mismatch their ideals?) has become mired several problems. First, articles exhibit discrepant analytic and reporting practices. Second, different emerge across laboratories...
This large, international dataset contains survey responses from N = 12,570 students 100 universities in 35 countries, collected 21 languages. We measured anxieties (statistics, mathematics, test, trait, social interaction, performance, creativity, intolerance of uncertainty, and fear negative evaluation), self-efficacy, persistence, the cognitive reflection demographics, previous mathematics grades, self-reported official statistics module details. Data reuse potential is broad, including...
Life-history theory (LHT) has drawn upon the concept of “time preference” as a psychological mechanism for development fast and slow strategies. However, conceptual empirical nature this is ill-defined. This study compared four traits commonly used measures (impulsivity, sensation seeking, future orientation delay discounting) evaluated their relationship to variables associated with life-history strategies (aggressive behavior mating attitudes, biological sex, pubertal timing,...
The Covid-19 pandemic raised many societal problems, one of them being convincing people to comply with government measures control its spread. In the UK, unprecedented were taken that end. Public health bodies often use fear appeals encourage obey rules. What happens though when individuals hold beliefs contrary narrative? this study, relationship between coronavirus induced anxiety and compliance behavior over first UK lockdown is examined in relation general conspiratorial specific...

Research Question: This study evaluated positive statements and negative affective attitudes against anticipated status whether the order in presented impacted intention under system. Design: A quasi-experimental mixed between-within design was employed with participants assigned to 1 of 2 conditions. Participants first condition received attitude followed by statements. reversed...
We make a prima facie case for identifying single pathway in the learning of Hindu-Arabic numerical symbols and discuss why this ability may be critical gateway concept developing mathematical competencies. A representative sample English Scottish children was assessed using number symbol identification paradigm Performance Indicators Primary Schools (PIPS) Baseline assessment at beginning end their first school year. Through Rasch analysis real simulated data, we show that: (1) there...
Background: The Performance Indicators in Primary Schools On Entry Baseline assessment for pupils starting school includes an item which aims to assess how well a pupil writes his or her own name. There is some debate regarding the utility of this measure, on grounds that name length may constitute bias.Purpose, method and design: predictive validity its link was investigated with view using further assessments. Previous modest scale work from USA, suggests writing ability robust indicator...
The Health of the Nation Outcome Scales for People with Learning Disabilities (HoNOS-LD) is one most used outcome measures in learning disability services United Kingdom. There relatively little known psychometric properties scales.A data set HoNOS-LD scales from 571 people disabilities was randomly split into two halves. Exploratory Mokken analysis applied to first dataset, and confirmatory scale factor second dataset test fit structures.Two-factor three-factor solutions were explored...
