Immersive distance simulation
What was the educational challenge?There is a growing need for healthcare simulation options when local expertise or resources are not available. To connect instructors with remote learners, current options for distance simulation are typically limited to videoconferencing on desktop computers or mobile devices, which may not fully capture the complexity of clinical scenarios.What was the solution?Extended reality (XR) technology may provide a mo…
Is social network site usage related to depression? A meta-analysis of Facebook–depression relations
Job Specification
A job specification is a written description of the human characteristics necessary for the successful performance of a job, and is derived by performing a job analysis. Job specifications are used in recruiting and staffing, and communicate the personal attributes that employers are looking for to job applicants and recruiters. Job specifications are also useful for informing training needs, such as identifying necessary knowledge and skills.
Job Analysis
Job analysis is the systematic process of investigating the components and context of a job.
Job Description
The job description is a written summary of the nature of a job, which is derived by performing a Job Analysis.
Publication bias in psychological science
The issue of publication bias in psychological science is one that has remained difficult to address despite decades of discussion and debate. The current article examines a sample of 91 recent meta-analyses published in American Psychological Association and Association for Psychological Science journals and the methods used in these analyses to identify and control for publication bias. Of the 91 studies analyzed, 64 (70%) made some effort to a…
Methodological Urban Legends
The automatic or blind inclusion of control variables in multiple regression and other analyses, intended to purify observed relationships among variables of interest, is widespread and can be considered an example of practice based on a methodological urban legend. Inclusion of such variables in most cases implicitly assumes that the control variables are somehow either contaminating the measurement of the variables of interest or affecting the …
Psychometrics of Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) Scores
A sample of 183 medical students completed the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT V2.0). Scores on the test were examined for evidence of reliability and factorial validity. Although Cronbach's alpha for the total scores was adequate (.79), many of the scales had low internal consistency (scale alphas ranged from .34 to .77; median = .48). Previous factor analyses of the MSCEIT are critiqued and the rationale for the current…
A Meta-Meta-Analysis
This article uses meta-analyses published in Psychological Bulletin from 1995 to 2005 to describe meta-analyses in psychology, including examination of statistical power, Type I errors resulting from multiple comparisons, and model choice. Retrospective power estimates indicated that univariate categorical and continuous moderators, individual moderators in multivariate analyses, and tests of residual variability within individual levels of categ…
How to Meta-Analyze Coefficient-of-Stability Estimates
Reliability generalization studies have provided estimates of the mean reliability coefficients and examined factors that explain the variability in the reliability estimates across studies for many different tests and measures. Different authors have used different data analyses to do such meta-analyses, and little research has addressed whether some methods are more accurate than others. Three methods of meta-analysis for reliability data were …
Applying Theories of Institutional Helping to Informal Volunteering
Dispositional variables from a volunteer model were shown to apply to informal volunteering. The model integrates two theories of the volunteer process: functional analysis and role identity theory. Undergraduates, ( N = 139), completed an informal volunteer inventory, and measures of motives, role identity, and prosocial personality. Two dimensions of informal volunteering: people-oriented and task-oriented were revealed. Both correlated with mo…
The influence of sociocultural factors on body image
Methods for controlling amount of talk
The aim of this article is to focus researchers’ attention on some central methodological issues involving control of amount of talk (AOT). First, appropriate methods for standardizing the size of language samples are considered. Second, the common practice of deriving linguistic rates by dividing the frequency of some linguistic variable of interest by a frequency tapping AOT is challenged. This operation does not adequately control for AOT and …
Motive, Role Identity, and Prosocial Personality as Predictors of Volunteer Activity
Constructs from the functional analysis and role identity models of volunteerism were combined in a study of activity and tenure among hospice volunteers. The influence of prosocial personality tendencies on sustained volunteer activity was also examined. The findings were most supportive of a role identity model of sustained volunteerism. Identity and perceived expectations emerged as the strongest predictors of both time spent volunteering and …
Calibration between student mastery and self-efficacy
Content mastery and self‐efficacy were measured at the beginning and at the end of two classes in Research Methods in Psychology. A multiple‐choice test measured content mastery and a questionnaire measured self‐efficacy. Self‐efficacy reports improved significantly over the course of instruction, as did examination performance. The correlation between self‐efficacy and content mastery rose from .33 at pre‐test to .49 at post‐test, although the d…
Integrity, Conscientiousness, and Honesty
Undergraduate volunteers from the Psychology participant pool (N=86, age M=22.7, SD=4.8 yr.; 72 of 86 were female) took two tests, a commercially available integrity test (the Personnel Selection Inventory) and the NEO-Five Factor Inventory. Later in the study, each participant was given an opportunity to report dishonestly the amount of time spent in the laboratory and thus to receive more extra-credit points than earned. An observer recorded pa…
Making Decisions About Condoms
Policy capturing was used to assess the relative influence of one's own attitudes and those of a sexual partner on decisions about condoms. Participants read vignettes describing a romantic encounter between themselves and a hypothetical date. Each vignette contained six independent variables; three described aspects of the participant's attitudes toward condoms, and three described the corresponding attitudes of the date. For each scenario, part…
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis
Critical comments on applying covariance structure modeling
Covariance structure modeling, also known as structural equation modeling or causal modeling, appears increasingly popular. Such techniques can be used to conduct tests of complex theory on empirical data. To conduct such tests, researchers need measures of known factor structure and the knowledge of structural relations among the constructs of interest. Researchers typically have neither the required measures nor the knowledge of structural rela…
A role and expectancy model of participative decision‐making
Schuler's process model of employee participation in decision‐making and job satisfaction (Schuler, 1980; Lee and Schuler, 1982) was tested using a path analytic approach. Reanalysis of Schuler's data and replication on a new sample indicated that (a) participation in decision‐making has both direct and indirect effects on job satisfaction; and (b) performance–outcome expectancy, role conflict, and role ambiguity all appear to mediate the relatio…
Construction of a Job in General scale
We describe the construction of a Job in General (JIG) scale, a global scale to accompany the facet scales of the Job Descriptive Index. We applied both traditional and item response theory procedures for item analysis to data from three large heterogeneous samples (N = 1,149, 3,566, and 4,490). Alpha was.91 and above for the resulting 18-item scale in successive samples. Convergent and dis-criminant validity and differential response to treatmen…
The conservative church
Drawing from sociological, psychological, and religious theory and research, it was predicted that the conservative church organization would manifest a set ofpsychosocial advantages and disadvantages. A battery of organizational and psychological measures was completed by 147 members o f four Conservative churches and 157 members of four Mainline churches. As predicted, Conservative churches were reportedly more successful in maintaining themsel…
