Abstract Although researchers are often concerned with the presence of participant demand, few have directly examined effects demand on behavior. Before beginning present study, a confederate informed participants (N = 100) study's purported hypothesis. Participants then performed laboratory task designed to evaluate extent which they would respond in ways that may confirm or disconfirm hypothesis study. The authors found tended confirmed hypothesis, yet this tendency depended attitudes...
Problems with inferring causal relationships from nonexperimental data are briefly reviewed, and four broad classes of methods designed to allow estimation inference about parameters described: panel regression, matching or reweighting, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity. Practical examples offered, discussion focuses on checking required assumptions the extent possible.
Trying to remember something now typically improves your ability it later. However, after watching a video of simulated bank robbery, participants who verbally described the robber were 25% worse at identifying in lineup than instead listed U.S. states and capitals—this has been termed “verbal overshadowing” effect (Schooler & Engstler-Schooler, 1990). More recent studies suggested that this might be substantially smaller first reported. Given uncertainty about size, influence finding...
A key problem facing aggression research is how to measure individual differences in accurately and efficiently without sacrificing reliability or validity. Researchers are increasingly demanding brief measures of for use applied settings, field studies, pretest screening, longitudinal, daily diary studies. The authors selected the three highest loading items from each Aggression Questionnaire's (Buss & Perry, 1992) four subscales—Physical Aggression, Verbal anger, hostility—and...
This article presents the Economic Security Index ( ESI ), a new measure of economic insecurity. The assesses individual‐level occurrence substantial year‐to‐year declines in available household resources, accounting for fluctuations not only income but also out‐of‐pocket medical expenses. It whether those experiencing such have sufficient liquid financial wealth to buffer against these shocks. We find that insecurity—the share individuals resource without adequate buffers—has risen steadily...
An IAEA coordinated research project that began in 2012 and ended 2016 was primarily dedicated to the compilation, evaluation recommendation of cross-section data for production medical radionuclides. One significant part this work focused on diagnostic positron emitters. These particular studies consist 69 reactions direct indirect or generator 44Sc(44Ti), 52mMn(52Fe), 52gMn, 55Co, 61Cu, 62Cu(62Zn), 66Ga, 68Ga(68Ge), 72As(72Se), 73Se, 76Br, 82Rb(82Sr), 82mRb, 86Y, 89Zr, 90Nb, 94mTc,...
In contexts that increasingly demand brief self-report measures (e.g., experience sampling, longitudinal and field studies), researchers seek succinct surveys maintain reliability validity. One such measure is the 12-item Brief Aggression Questionnaire (BAQ; Webster et al., 2014), which uses 4 3-item subscales: Physical Aggression, Verbal Anger, Hostility. Although prior work suggests BAQ's scores are reliable valid, we addressed some lingering concerns. Across 3 studies (N = 1,279), found...
We provide a theoretical framework for what it means to be self-connected and propose that self-connection is an important potential contributor person's well-being. define as consisting of three components: 1) awareness oneself, 2) acceptance oneself based on this awareness, 3) alignment one's behavior with awareness. First, we position the concept within broader self literature empirical context our proposed definition self-connection. next compare contrast related constructs, including...
The current research sought to better understand the effect of mindfulness on well-being by examining self-connection as a potential mediator. We define as: (1) an awareness oneself, (2) acceptance oneself based this awareness, and (3) alignment one’s behavior with awareness. Based definition, we measured self-connection, using two distinct samples different operationalizations well-being. In Study 1, recruited 101 people from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) asked them about their...
Although careless respondents have wreaked havoc on research for decades, the prevalence and implications of these participants has likely increased due to many new methodological techniques currently in use. Across three studies, we examined responding participants, several means predicting respondents, data quality recruitment attempts. At same time, sought examine geographic differences provide psychometric evidence using embedded questions detect participants. In Study 1, found over...
Many African American and Hispanic children are classified as mildly disabled. Although this makes special education services available to these other who need them, contention endures whether disability classification also is racially (and ethnically) biased. The authors view status competition, in which minorities overrepresented low-status categories such intellectual emotional disturbance, whites high-status attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder autism. address the racialized...
Measurements of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), thyrotropin (TSH), and T3 talc uptake (T3TU) were performed on 425 hospitalized patients over 60 years age. Unsuspected thyroid disease was found in 10 (2.4%); 9 hypothyroid 1 hyperthyroid. Another 11% the population had abnormal T4 or TSH levels but not proved to have disease. Repeat measurements 40 with low serum concentrations showed a return tests normal. The occurred who seriously ill usually associated T3TU values. Low observed 32...
At the core of any causal claim is an experimental study, and laboratory research often provides most valid arena for conducting experiments. Laboratory experiments allow researchers to provide internal validity phenomena they examine. However, must consider address certain methodological concerns when lab research. Before participants ever agree participate, forces are beginning affect how will respond manipulations. These additional continue during after completion experiment, yet many do...
