DIMENSIONAL ANALYSES OF TAXONIC DATA
Psychological Reports, 2007Principal component analysis (PCA) and common factor analysis are often used to model latent data structures. Typically, such analyses assume a single population whose correlation or covariance matrix is modelled. However, data may sometimes be unwittingly sampled from mixed populations containing a taxon (nonarbitrary subpopulation) and its ...

In this chapter, we consider some of the problems that may be encountered for specific taxa. We make no attempt to be comprehensive; rather, we have selected a few taxa to illustrate the types of issue that arise in some circumstances. The absence of a taxon from this chapter does not indicate that distance sampling methods are inappropriate for that ...

The generalized picture of windigo is that of a person who becomes obsessed with the compulsion to kill other people and eat human flesh, often under the belief of being possessed by a mythical monster. Such anthropophagy may or may not occur, but out of fear that it might, the victim is sometimes killed by members of the group.

, 1985 Fright is the fundamental experience that binds together the papers and cases reported in this taxon, but beyond saying that, the specifics vary. In some instances, fright may be followed by a variety of symptoms, both physical and psychological, in the person who initially experienced the stimulus. In other instances, however, the relationship between

TAXON, 1968
SummaryA ‘new taxon’ is not, or only rarely, a newly evolved taxon whilst a new species is new only in a nomenclatural sense or, as it was phrased in earlier generations “new to science”. The indication “nom. nov.” must be regarded as a technical term indicating a new name replacing an old one which is illegitimate under the Code.

The major symptoms and behavior displayed in cases discussed under this taxon are sufficiently striking and unusual that they probably merit the term “exotic” as much as any of the other syndromes discussed in this book. They consist of a fear of such intensity and focus that it goes beyond the typical anxiety syndrome, together with the involvement of

Introduction: The Running Taxon
1985The papers included in this section amply illustrate both the desirability of a better descriptive classification and the difficulty of achieving it. The first paper by Zachary Gussow is a classic descriptive analysis of pibloktoq, sometimes called arctic hysteria, among the Polar Eskimo.
