  • Intentional Faking of the Single Category Implicit Association Test and the Implicit Association Test

    Open AccessStefan Stieger, Anja S Göritz et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2011

    The Implicit Association Test (IAT) provides a relative measure of implicit association strengths between target and attribute categories. In contrast, the Single Category Implicit Association Test (SC-IAT) measures association strength with a single attribute category. This can be advantageous if a complementary category--as used in the IAT--cannot be composed or is undesired. If the SC-IAT is to be a meaningful supplement to the IAT, it should …

  • Reaching the Mobile Respondent: Determinants of High-Level Mobile Phone Use Among a High-Coverage Group

    Open AccessChristoph Burger, Valentin Riemer et al.ARTICLESocial Science Computer Review2009References: 4

    The aim of this study is to identify the key determinants of high-level mobile phone use in a high-coverage target group by replicating an Australian study conducted by Walsh and White. Factors predicting high-level mobile phone use and relations between self- and prototypical identity are investigated by using an extended version of the theory of planned behavior (TPB). A total of 215 Austrian university students participated by completing two q…

There were three experimental conditions: "Social training without dogs," "Social training with dogs," and "Dog attendance without social training." The project was carried out in three elementary schools— three classes per school (total of 230 children)—over a period of …

  • Dimensionality and Construct Validity of a Video-Based, Objective Personality Test for the Assessment of Willingness to Take Risks in Road Traffic

    Open AccessMartin E Arendasy, Martin Arendasy et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2005

    The study at hand reports first results about the dimensionality and construct validity of a newly developed objective, video-based personality test, which assesses the willingness to take risks in traffic situations. On the basis of the theory of risk homeostasis developed by Wilde, different traffic situations with varying amounts of objective danger were filmed. These situations mainly consisted of situations with passing maneuvers and speed c…

  • The Representation of Chance

    Andreas Hergovich, Ivo PonocnyARTICLEJournal of Cognition and Culture2004

    Two studies were conducted which examined the social representations of chance. In Study 1 (n = 90) an exploratory interview was held with subjects from different occupational groups (theologians, para-psychologists, physicists, statisticians, philosophers, gamblers, "man/woman on the street"). Results showed different metaphors of chance for the groups. Para-psychologists had the most idiosyncratic concept of chance (most of them declaring that …

The Self-Description Questionnaire 1 (Marsh, 1988) was presented to 428 children. Parents and teachers were given an adapted form. Additionally, children were asked for reflected appraisals of their mothers, fathers and teachers accordi…
