Objection! the Effect of Informant Disagreement on Children’s Selective Trust
Past research has demonstrated that children consider many cues when deciding from whom to learn. In the present study, we evaluated whether children consider the cue of explicit interpersonal disagreement in their selective learning. Additionally, we aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the kinds of attributions children make about informants who express disagreement. One hundred and eleven 5- to 8-year-old Canadian children completed a novel…
Confidence cues
Previous research indicates a general preference to learn from confident individuals among both adults and children. However, the interpretation of confidence remains ambiguous. In two experiments, adults ( N = 192) and 7-to-10-year-olds ( N = 143) were presented with a short video featuring either a confident or a hesitant person. Participants were subsequently queried about social and knowledge-related traits associated with the person and with…
Adjusting Incremental Fit Indices for Nonnormality
A variety of indices are commonly used to assess model fit in structural equation modeling. However, fit indices obtained from the normal theory maximum likelihood fit function are affected by the presence of nonnormality in the data. We present a nonnormality correction for 2 commonly used incremental fit indices, the comparative fit index and the Tucker-Lewis index. This correction uses the Satorra-Bentler scaling constant to modify the sample …
Sensitivity to Confidence Cues Increases during the Second Year of Life
We investigated the emergence in infancy of a preference to imitate individuals who display confidence over lack of confidence. Eighteen‐ and 24‐month‐olds ( N = 70) were presented with an experimenter who demonstrated the use of several objects accompanied by either nonverbal expressions of confidence or lack of confidence. At 24 months, infants were more likely to imitate the actions when demonstrated by a confident experimenter than by an unco…
When can categorical variables be treated as continuous? A comparison of robust continuous and categorical SEM estimation methods under suboptimal conditions.
A simulation study compared the performance of robust normal theory maximum likelihood (ML) and robust categorical least squares (cat-LS) methodology for estimating confirmatory factor analysis models with ordinal variables. Data were generated from 2 models with 2-7 categories, 4 sample sizes, 2 latent distributions, and 5 patterns of category thresholds. Results revealed that factor loadings and robust standard errors were generally most accura…
