The deeper context of coercive control
This research aimed to provide new insights into the behaviours and tactics of people who engage in coercive control. The research drew on the knowledge and experiences of a wide range of professionals working with people who actively violate social norms and harm and disadvantage others by conscious choice both inside and outside of forensic settings. The results provide a framework to inform social work practice, policy, and training requiremen…
Using Indigenous Science to Protect Wetlands
While wetland functional assessment or rating systems may include cultural, socioeconomic, or site value components, they are insufficient to evaluate the cultural functions of wetlands to resource-centric communities like Native Nations. The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community has developed a cultural module for use in conjunction with standard physical wetland assessment approaches to incorporate Tribal cultural values and functions in wetland ra…
The new Medical College Admission Test
This year's applicants to medical school took a newly revised version of the Medical College Admission Test. Unlike applicants in the past, they were asked to demonstrate their knowledge and use of concepts commonly taught in introductory psychology courses. The new Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior Test asked applicants to demonstrate the ways in which psychological, social, and biological factors influence perception…
The Economics of Performance Studies
Originally presented at the Economies and Ethics of Performance conference held at Villanova Univeristy, 22–24 June 2012, this paper was one of several presented in a session on the future of graduate studies in performance. In this essay, I summarize the challenges of the past and offer strategies for meeting the present and future economics facing higher education in general and performance studies in particular
Source monitoring 15 years later
Focusing primarily on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this article reviews evidence regarding the roles of subregions of the medial temporal lobes, prefrontal cortex, posterior representational areas, and parietal cortex in source memory. In addition to evidence from standard episodic memory tasks assessing accuracy for neutral information, the article considers studies assessing the qualitative characteristics of memories, the enco…

What happens when school reform and accountability testing meet
W E WORKED SO HARD LAST SUMMER and during the school year; the teachers worked nonstop.... We had heard from others, and I believed, that if you teach kids to think critically and analyze, they will do well on any kind of test. But this did not pan out, even though there was a lot of learning going on. The students were engaged, discipline problems dropped by two-thirds, attendance rose, but their test scores went down. We have a new superintende…

Seamless intertexts
This essay synthesizes theories of intertextuality in order to offer a method for studying a type of performance text: the seamless intertext. Specifically, those performance texts that combine various perspectives and discourses engender variation in audience response through the interplay of extrinsic and intrinsic intertextuality. It identifies four categories of intrinsic intertexts, evident in Emily Mann's play Execution of Justice, and anal…

Reliability of Holistic Scoring for the MCAT Essay
The Association of American Medical Colleges is conducting research on the incremental validity associated with adding an essay to the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). The present research examined the reliability of holistic scoring for a sample of essays written during the Spring 1985 MCAT administration. Analysis of variance techniques were used to estimate the reliability of scoring and to partition score variance into that due to level…
Factor Structure of the MCAT and Pilot Essay
The Association of American Medical Colleges is examining the desirability and feasibility of including an essay on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). This endeavor calls for administration of a trial essay with the 1985 through 1987 MCAT examinations. Research reported in this paper considered the construct validity of the essay and its effect on the measurement domain tapped by the operational MCAT. The objective was to examine the fact…
Factorial Validity of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (Asvab), Forms 8, 9 and 10
The purpose of this paper was to examine the factor structure of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), Forms 8, 9, and 10. This standardized multiple cognitive abilities battery is the primary selection and classification instrument used by all military services. It consists of eight power and two speed tests. In this investigation the ASVAB 8/9/10 factor structure was compared with that observed for previous samples and for pre…

modified. Fortunately, we have both the experienced personnel and the technological capacity to construct a Manpower System, exercise it, and train personnel by it. We do not have to accept partial fulfillment from the testing of one or another minuscule model when complete fulfillment from the testing of the entire Manpower System is available. We therefore propose that these two models of Illness and Health be accepted as a basis for the logica…
