What Personality Scales Measure: A New Psychometrics and Its Implications for Theory and Assessment

Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2019
Classical psychometrics held that scores on a personality measure were determined by the trait assessed and random measurement error. A new view proposes a much richer and more complex model that includes trait variance at multiple levels of a hierarchy ...

Development of a New Measure of Cognitive Ability Using Automatic Item Generation and Its Psychometric Properties

SAGE Open, 2022
In the development of cognitive science understanding human intelligence and mind, measurement of cognitive ability has played a key role. To address the development in data scientific point of views related to cognitive neuroscience, there has been a ...

Cognitive representations of disability behaviours in people with mobility limitations : consistency with theoretical constructs [PDF]

, 2008
Disability is conceptualised as behaviour by psychological theory and as a result of bodily impairment by medical models. However, how people with disabilities conceptualise those disabilities is unclear.

Challenges in Process Dissociation Measures for Moral Cognition

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
The process dissociation procedure (PDP) for moral cognition was created to separately measure two dispositions of moral judgment based on the dual-process theory of moral reasoning: deontological and utilitarian inclinations. In this paper we raise some

Uncertainty Quantification for Nuclear Density Functional Theory and Information Content of New Measurements

Physical Review Letters, 2015
Statistical tools of uncertainty quantification can be used to assess the information content of measured observables with respect to present-day theoretical models; to estimate model errors and thereby improve predictive capability; to extrapolate beyond the regions reached by experiment; and to provide meaningful input to applications and planned ...

Information Theory

Nature, 2019
INFORMATION THEORY rests on the fundamental observation that information and uncertainty are related (Shannon and Weaver, 1949). Intuitively, a code can be used to send information from one agent (the transmitter) to another (the receiver) or a channel ...

Factor Analysis: a means for theory and instrument development in support of construct validity

International Journal of Medical Education, 2020
Factor analysis (FA) allows us to simplify a set of complex variables or items using statistical procedures to explore the underlying dimensions that explain the relationships between the multiple variables/items.

Development and psychometric testing of a theory-based tool to measure self-care in diabetes patients: the Self-Care of Diabetes Inventory

BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2017
BackgroundSelf-care is essential for patients with diabetes mellitus. Both clinicians and researchers must be able to assess the quality of that self-care. Available tools have various limitations and none are theoretically based.
