An introduction to statistical techniques used for detecting anomaly in test results
A potential negative consequence of high-stakes testing is inappropriate test behaviour involving individuals and/or institutions. Inappropriate test behaviour and test collusion can result in aberrant response patterns and anomalous test scores and invalidate the intended interpretation and use of test results. A variety of statistical techniques have been developed to investigate anomaly in test results at individual test-taker and group levels…
Posttraumatic Growth and Transformation as Outcomes of Perinatal Loss
Perinatal loss in its many forms results in profound grief and distress for women, their partners, and families. The possibility of personal growth in the aftermath of perinatal loss has been suggested through early research; however, systematic research on posttraumatic growth after perinatal loss has not been well-developed. Posttraumatic growth is positive psychological change as a result of confronting a challenging life experience. After a s…
Investigating a judgemental rank‐ordering method for maintaining standards in UK examinations
A new judgemental method of equating raw scores on two tests, based on rank‐ordering scripts from both tests, has been developed by Bramley. The rank‐ordering method has potential application as a judgemental standard‐maintaining mechanism, because given a mark on one test (e.g. the A grade boundary mark), the equivalent mark (i.e. at the same judgemental standard) on the other test can be determined. If the two tests come from different years th…
Beyond couvade
Thirty‐six couples with a history of infertility reported their physical, positive emotional, and negative emotional symptoms during pregnancy. The women experienced more physical symptoms than did the men. Both the men and women experienced second‐trimester decreases in negative emotional symptoms and third‐trimester increases in negative emotional symptoms. The women's physical symptoms also showed a second‐trimester dip. Each symptom type was …
Relinquishing Infertility
Although infertility has been described as an experience with long-term implications for the well-being of couples affected by it, few studies have examined any part of the aftermath of infertility. This article describes the ways in which infertility shapes the pregnancy course in couples who have struggled to conceive. The findings are drawn from 162 interviews conducted with 60 couples (41 infertile and a comparison group of 19 fertile) expect…
