From Association to Causation: Integrating Experimental Design Principles into Regression Education
Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: A Differential Sensitivity Framework for Machine Learning–Based Detection of Anomalous Survey Responses
Anomalous survey responses, including random, careless, extreme, acquiescent, straightline, and alternating responding, threaten the validity of survey-based research. Machine learning (ML) algorithms offer flexible, model-agnostic alternatives to traditional detection methods, yet their relative effectiveness across anomaly types remains poorly understood. This study evaluated 11 unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms spanning four paradigms …
Exploring the Association Between Rejection Sensitivity and Reactive Aggression: A Multi-Method Research
This multi-method study examines the relationship between rejection sensitivity and reactive aggression, extending prior research from intimate relationships to broader interpersonal contexts. Across three studies, Study 1 ( n = 1,104) used a cross-sectional dataset with both variable-centered (correlation) and person-centered (latent profile analysis, LPA) approaches to identify overall associations and high-risk subgroups. Study 2 ( n = 139) em…

The relationship between loneliness and problematic smartphone use among adolescents during the Covid‐19 pandemic: The mediating role of negative emotions and maladaptive coping
INTRODUCTION: Given the observed increased feelings of loneliness and problematic smartphone use among adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic, further research was needed to determine whether and how the increased loneliness of adolescents during such major public health crisis events affects the risk of problematic smartphone use among adolescents. This study aimed to examine the relationship between loneliness and problematic smartphone use a…
Social support and overeating in young women: The role of altering functional network connectivity patterns and negative emotions
Using MDS preference plot as visual analytics of data: A machine learning approach
The primary purpose of this paper is to advocate the use of multidimensional scaling (MDS) preference plot to study relationships among variables and individual differences in these variables. MDS preference plot is not a new visual technique; nevertheless, its application to visualize individual differences in variables for high-dimensional data is rare, particularly in education and social sciences. We illustrated its application using a real e…

Rejection Sensitivity and Reactive Aggression in Early Adults: The Mediating Role of Loneliness and Maladaptive Coping
Reactive aggression is an aggressive response to a perceived threat or provocation. It has detrimental effects on individuals and society. Rejection sensitivity, a disposition that one tends to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and intensely react to social rejection, has been associated with reactive aggression. Considering that the mechanism underlying this link remains unclear, this study explores the mediating role of loneliness and maladap…
Understanding social adversity and stress and mood symptoms: The Bayesian network approach
Social adversity events commonly occur in our daily lives. However, an individual's perception of social adversity experienced may be more important than actual events in impacting an individual's psychological functioning and reactions. In the current study, we examined how individuals' perception of social adversity events they experienced is associated with their traumatic stress symptoms as well as mood and anxiety symptoms using the Bayesian…
Evaluating Change in Behavioral Preferences: Multidimensional Scaling Single-Ideal Point Model
The purpose of the article is to propose a multidimensional scaling single-ideal point model as a method to evaluate changes in individuals’ preferences under the explicit methodological framework of behavioral preference assessment. One example is used to illustrate the approach for a clear idea of what this approach can accomplish

Posttraumatic reactions to an earthquake: Multidimensional scaling profile analysis of adolescent survivors
The current study examined the prototypical profiles of posttraumatic stress reactions among a sample of 282 adolescent survivors of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in China. Based on a dimensional perspective, the results of profile analysis via multidimensional scaling (PAMS) model revealed a two-dimensional solution corresponding to four profiles: intrusion, avoidance/arousal, partial avoidance, and hyperarousal. These profiles of posttraumatic s…
Assessment of Grade-Level Differences in Coping Behavior Among Adolescents Using Multidimensional Scaling Single-Ideal-Point Model
The purpose of the study was to examine grade-level differences in coping behaviors among adolescents using a probabilistic multidimensional scaling (MDS) single-ideal-point model. Using data from students in middle school and at college, this article illustrated the MDS single-ideal-point model as an alternative to examine students’ typical coping behaviors
Assessing Fit and Dimensionality in Least Squares Metric Multidimensional Scaling Using Akaike’s Information Criterion
Akaike’s information criterion is suggested as a tool for evaluating fit and dimensionality in metric multidimensional scaling that uses least squares methods of estimation. This criterion combines the least squares loss function with the number of estimated parameters. Numerical examples are presented. The results from analyses of both simulation data and real data demonstrate the utility of the Akaike’s information criterion in identifying the …
Gender, Ethnicity, and Grade Differences in Perceptions of School Experiences Among Adolescents
Do Mathematical Gender Differences Continue? A Longitudinal Study of Gender Difference and Excellence in Mathematics Performance in the U.S
A persistent belief in American culture is that males both outperform and have a higher inherent aptitude for mathematics than females. Using data from two school districts in two different states in the United States, this study used longitudinal multilevel modeling to examine whether overall performance on standardized as well as classroom tests reveals a gender difference in mathematics performance. The results suggest that both male and femal…

Correlates of Gun Involvement and Aggressiveness among Adolescents
This study examined adolescents' aggressiveness in relation to their experiences, beliefs, and attitudes concerning gun use. It also investigated family composition, relationships with parents, and emotionality as correlates of gun involvement and aggressiveness. A self-report questionnaire was given to 334 students, 167 females and 167 males, in a junior high school in upstate New York. Correlation coefficients and regression analyses revealed t…
