Effects of Response Format on Psychometric Properties and Fairness of a Matrices Test: Multiple Choice vs. Free Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Education, 2020
Reasoning is regarded to be an essential facet of fundamental cognitive abilities. As examinee characteristics may affect performance in Reasoning tests, concern about maintaining fairness is expressed.

Phenotypic plasticity in response to the social environment: effects of density and sex ratio on mating behaviour following ecotype divergence. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
The ability to express phenotypically plastic responses to environmental cues might be adaptive in changing environments. We studied phenotypic plasticity in mating behaviour as a response to population density and adult sex ratio in a freshwater isopod (

Scrutinizing the basis of originality in divergent thinking tests: On the measurement precision of response propensity estimates.

open access: yesBritish Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
BACKGROUND The originality of divergent thinking (DT) production is one of the most critical indicators of creative potential. It is commonly scored using the statistical infrequency of responses relative to all responses provided in a given sample ...

Evaluation and modeling of students’ persistence and wheel-spinning propensities in formative assessments

open access: yesSmart Learning Environments, 2023
Persistence represents a crucial trait in learning. A lack of persistence prevents learners from fully mastering their current skills and makes it difficult for them to acquire new skills.

The EEG Oscillations and Psychology Propensities of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Autonomous sensory meridian response is believed as a perceptual phenomenon to specific sensory stimuli. To explore the underlying mechanism and emotional effect, the EEG under video and audio triggers of autonomous sensory meridian response was analyzed.

Reduction of Nonresponse Bias through Case Prioritization

open access: yesSurvey Research Methods, 2010
How response rates are increased can determine the remaining nonresponse bias in estimates. Studies often target sample members that are most likely to be interviewed to maximize response rates.

Propensity score-based diagnostics for categorical response regression models [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, 2013
For binary or categorical response models, most goodness-of-fit statistics are based on the notion of partitioning the subjects into groups or regions and comparing the observed and predicted responses in these regions by a suitable chi-squared distribution.

Measurement and adjustment of non-response bias based on non-response surveys: the case of Belgium and Norway in the European Social Survey Round 3

open access: yesSurvey Research Methods, 2010
In earlier rounds of the European Social Survey, non-response bias was studied by using population statistics and call record information (para data). In the third round, a new feature was introduced: two kinds of non-respondent surveys were set up using

The Use of Response Propensity Modeling (RPM) for Allocating Differential Survey Recruitment Strategies: Purpose, Rationale, and Implementation

open access: yesSurvey Practice, 2018
Response Propensity Modeling (RPM) is an empirical process that identifies a multivariate statistical model to predict the likelihood (propensity) that a given element in an initial sample will cooperate with a forthcoming survey request.
