The New Know-Nothings
The New Know-Nothings: The Political Foes of the Scientific Study of Human Nature, by Morton Hunt. Somerset, NJ: Transaction Publishers, 1999. 351+ pp. $24.95 This book portrays the struggle of scientists attempting to conduct research on human nature within the current atmosphere of distrust and aggressive opposition. The ultimate danger is that powerful political factions within our society will halt the advancement of knowledge in social and b…
Persistence in Science of High-Ability Minority Students
Results of a Longitudinal Study Background Concern over the underrepresentation of minorities in natural sciences, mathematics, and engineering (S/E) led to this longitudinal study of high-ability minority students. Although there is presently no shortage of scientists or engineers in the United States, failure to support talented minority students is a disservice to those students. Capable minorities deserve equal access to S/E professions, and …
Applications of Quasi-Markov Simplex Models Across Populations
A linear structural model for comparing quasi-Markov models across populations is demonstrated. A confirmatory factor analysis formulation of the simplex model is also developed for between group comparisons. A variety of possible applications of this approach are suggested
Using Longitudinal Data to Estimate Reliability in the Presence of Correlated Measurement Errors
Test-retest correlations can lead to biased reliability estimates when there is instability of the true scores in the interval between tests and/or when the measurement errors are correlated. Using three occasion data on the Test of Standard Written English and essay ratings, an analysis is demonstrated which separates true score instability and correlated errors
A Confirmatory Approach To Calibration Congeneric Measures
This paper demonstrates how the problem of calibrating measures can be formulated in terms of confirmatory factor analysis. The relationships between traditional approaches (Angoff, 1971) and a confirmatory factor approach are specified
Confirmatory Factor Analysis Applications
Procedures for simultaneous confirmatory factor analysis in several populations are useful in a wide variety of problems. This is demonstrated with examples involving missing data, comparison of part correlations between groups, testing the equality of regression weights between groups with multiple indicators of each variable, and the formulation of growth models. Corrections for attenuation can be incorporated into analysis of covariance and an…
