A fundamental question facing clinical scientists is whether the constructs they are studying categorical or dimensional in nature. The taxometric method was developed expressly to answer this and being used by a growing number of investigators inform theory, research, practice psychopathology. current paper provides practical introduction method, updating earlier tutorials based on findings recent methodological studies. We offer revised guidelines for data requirements, indicator...
ABSTRACT Despite near universal acceptance in the value of higher education for individuals and society, college persistence rates 4‐year community colleges are low.

Hypnosis is vastly underused despite strong evidence supporting its efficacy in the context of cancer care. Little known about what providers need to feel confident moving from education hypnosis using clinical The goal this study was examine care providers' ongoing needs post-hypnosis training inform development future programs. We qualitatively examined open-ended responses post-training implementation trainees (n = 70) our for Cancer Pain program. Data were analyzed inductive thematic...
Determining whether a construct is more appropriately conceptualized and assessed in categorical or dimensional manner has received considerable research attention recent years. There are variety of statistical techniques to address this empirically, Meehl's (1995) taxometric method been among the most widely used methods applied constructs areas personality psychopathology. In analysis, comparison curve fit index (CCFI; Ruscio, & Meron, 2007) an objective measure parallel analysis data...
The present study tests predictions from the Tripartite Integration Model of Social Influences (TIMSI) concerning processes linking social interactions to integration into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) communities careers. Students historically overrepresented groups in STEM were followed their senior year high school through college. Based on TIMSI, we hypothesized that with influence agents (operationalized as mentor network diversity, faculty support, research...
Abstract Behaviorally anchored rating scales ( BARS ) are an essential component of structured interviews. Use to evaluate interviewees' performance is associated with greater predictive validity and reliability less bias. time‐consuming expensive construct, however. This report explores the feasibility gathering participants' responses interview questions through online crowdsourcing platform using those develop .

Research on the relationship between belief in God and mental health is scarce often limited to comparing group differences across various self-reported religious identities (e.g., atheists, agnostics, believers). To advance this work, we focused how extent of related three indices psychological distress (depression, anxiety, stress) a sample undergraduate students (N = 632) with variety identities. We used model comparison approach evaluate both linear curvilinear relationships tested...
Abstract Objective Little is known about survivors' understanding of the cause their cancer and recovery, nor how these ways relate to well‐being. No study has examined both secular religious appraisals same event. The current aimed examine (God) (self) (attributions) course/cure in relation multiple aspects adjustment. Methods Data were obtained from a sample survivors at Time 1 (n = 250) year later (Time 2, n 167). Results Cancer endorsed higher relating than those cause, they appraisals....
Using a qualitative approach, we sought to understand the social networks and decision-making strategies of minority males as they choose attend postsecondary institution. Data were obtained from interviews where students self-report perceptions their college transition process. Our findings suggest that students’ are inefficient, disrupted, fractured resulting in prominent informational gaps impacted matriculation decisions. We liken knowledge about tip an iceberg; is, participants only...

Single-response situational judgment tests (SRSJTs) differ from multiple-response SJTs (MRSJTS) in that they present test takers with edited critical incidents and simply ask to read over the action described evaluate it according its effectiveness. Research comparing reliability validity of SRSJTs MRSJTs is thus far extremely limited. The study reported here directly compares forms a SRSJT MRSJT explores reliability, convergent validity, predictive each format. Results this investigation...

This paper presents a study that explores an affordable housing scheme which allows customisation prior to construction for owner-occupiers. Due ongoing concerns about the economic fallout caused by COVID-19 pandemic affecting large populations, demand is increasing. In particular, low-income households continue struggle with unaffordable rents throughout major Australian cities. Assailed this growing affordability crisis and deemed environmentally unsustainable, suburbs are in need of...
