Conducting Self-Adapted Testing Using Microcat
This article describes MCATL program code for using the MicroCAT 3.5 testing software to administer several types of self-adapted tests. Code is provided for a (a) basic self-adapted test, (b) self-adapted version of an adaptive mastery test, and (c) restricted self-adapted test
Salvaging Quantitative Research with Qualitative Data
Through presentation of two case studies, this article illustrates just how ambiguous and misleading results from quantitative studies can be if not supplemented by qualitative data. The focus is on the salvaging power of qualitative methods and their ability to ensure some return on an investment that might otherwise be partially or completely lost
Coalition Formation in Parliamentary Situations as a Function of Simulated Ideology, Resources, and Electoral Systems
Des groupes de cinq etudiants jouent le role de leaders de parti dans un jeu de formation de coalitions simulant un parlement divise en cinq factions ideologiquement distinctes. Les ressemblances ideologiques sont predictrices de comportement de coalition. La representation proportionnelle fait les parlements centralistes
Very Simple Structure
A new procedure for determining the optimal number of interpretable factors to extract from a correlation matrix is introduced and compared to more conventional procedures. The new method evaluates the magnitude of the Very Simple Structure index of goodness of fit for factor solutions of increasing rank. The number of factors which maximizes the VSS criterion is taken as being the optimal number of factors to extract. Thirty-two artificial and t…
