Developmental Steps in Metaphorical Language Abilities
Metaphorical language ability shows an ongoing development and seemingly changes qualitatively at the beginning of early adolescence. These results can possibly be explained by a greater synaptic reorganization in early adolescents. Furthermore, cognitive flexibility under time pressure and information processing speed possibly facilitate the ability to adapt metaphor processing strategies in a flexible, quick, and appropriate way
Are Aggressive Cartoons Really Funnier? A Replication
Research has found that more aggressive cartoons are perceived as funnier. The current study ( N = 106; 16 cartoons) examined this finding in more detail by additionally including painfulness and cleverness rankings of cartoons, and by examining possible moderating effects of different humor styles, self-esteem (explicit, implicit), and social desirability. Aggressive or painful cartoons were not perceived to be funnier, but were rated as having …
Performance of Parallel Analysis in Retrieving Unidimensionality in the Presence of Binary Data
Parallel analysis has been shown to be suitable for dimensionality assessment in factor analysis of continuous variables. There have also been attempts to demonstrate that it may be used to uncover the factorial structure of binary variables conforming to the unidimensional normal ogive model. This article provides both theoretical and empirical evidence that this is not appropriate. Results of a simulation study indicate that sample size, item d…
Health-Related Quality of Life in Austrian Elementary School Children
BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is frequently used as an outcome criterion to evaluate the quality and effect of different therapies. However, little is known about the HRQL of the general population, the prevalence of specific HRQL problems and about which factors have an impact on HRQL assessments. OBJECTIVE: To examine children's HRQL from their own and their parents' perspectives. The study sample consisted of children atten…
Structural Latent Class Models
Linear logistic latent class analysis (LCA) relates the item latent probabilities of LCA to basic parameters representing the effects of explanatory variables. Applications of this model to dichotomous data comprise paired comparisons (the compared objects are the explanatory variables); the measurement of change due to, for example, therapeutic interventions (the treatments are the explanatory variables); simple scaling models of the Rasch type …
