Applying Points-of-View Analysis to Individual Variations in Colour Sorting Data
“Points-of-View” analysis has been promoted as an appropriate analysis for similarity data collected with the Method of Sorting. It can be regarded as an extension of Cultural Consensus Analysis ( cca ). The latter assumes that subjects all base their responses on a single shared ‘model’ of the items to be sorted (while varying in the level of reliability with which they consult that model). Conversely, the titular “points-of-view” are multiple m…

A Centenary Reflection: Challenges for Universities and the Wider Commonwealth
The Association of Commonwealth Universities has just celebrated its centenary. As with many Commonwealth organisations, it is rich in history, traditions and the diversity of its membership. Yet all of these features can be seen both as strengths and as weaknesses. This article considers ways in which the future Association can distinguish itself from the growing number of international networks that have developed in recent years, and what less…
Subject Variations in Sorting Data: Revisiting the Points-of-View Model
“Cultural consensus analysis” (CCA) of similarity data involves analyzing the matrix of inter-subject correlations with Factor Analysis. If the pattern of correlations can be explained by a single dominant factor, one can assume that the subjects grouped the items according to a shared mental model – a cultural consensus – and their responses can safely be merged in subsequent stages of analysis. In the negative case where no consensus exists and…

School Truants and Truancy Motivation Sorted out with Multidimensional Scaling
A combination of established and novel multivariate techniques was applied to the problem of school truancy. Informants described 104 truants they were acquainted with by ranking the applicability of 73 motives and causes for absence from school. Individual rankings were analyzed in the context of a multidimensional representation of the motives, derived from sorting data provided by other informants. Each ranking was interpreted as a three-dimen…
Bridging the knowledge gap
Forty years on, the Commonwealth Scholarships and Fellowships Scheme remains a major source of educational assistance and collaboration. Over 20 000 award holders have benefited worldwide and, as recent tracer studies confirm, many have gone on to make a major impact in their home countries. As with all publicly funded initiatives, however, CSFP is increasingly being held accountable for its activities. This article examines its current structure…

A rejecting baby in a twin set
The notion of a “rejecting” baby has not received much attention in the research literature. One member of a pair of twins which came to our attention provided a good example of a “rejecting” baby. This baby avoided eye contact with all people at close proximity. It is possible that the notion of “rejecting” babies should be attended to by parents, doctors and others involved with the welfare of young children. Perhaps they do not know what to lo…

Warm-Up and Fatigue Effects in Jokes Rated by Concrete and Abstract Persons
Male subjects identified as concrete or abstract in conceptual system (Harvey, 1966) were exposed to 36 jokes previously categorized by content (sexual, aggressive, or neutral) and type (subtle or obvious). Independent or conceptual system funniness ratings showed both warm-up and fatigue effects, especially for subtle jokes. Concrete persons used a narrower scale range than abstract ones. The former, it is suggested, react to situational demands…
