When Dutch school children are about 11 or 12 years old – and I remember this clearly –, they participate in what is called the CITO test: an elaborate assessment that provides 1 information on a child’s progress on skills like reading ability and mathematics, and helps guide teachers in giving advice on a child’s future school choice. When we grow older and apply for a job, we may be asked to do an assessment that maps the applicant’s desirable skills and traits, and for a person with mental health problems, measurement instruments like the Beck Depression Inventory or the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale might help in determining the appropriate diagnosis. In different phases of our lives, we encounter psychometric applications, which can be very influential or even decisive in high-stake situations. Was your job assessment satisfactory to your future employer? Are your SAT scores high enough for admission into a top-notch Ivy-League university? However, even though most of us are familiar with different examples of psychometric applications, psychometrics as a research area is much more mysterious. Psychometrics is a very complex scientific discipline: its content is often highly tech nical, heavily embedded in statistics, and its connection with psychological or edu- cational applications is often difficult to grasp (and sometimes, on the face of it, non- existent). These aspects make psychometrics’ purposes, goals, values, and concepts hard to understand for an outsider who is not part of the psychometric community. So, what is it that psychometricians actually do, and why do they do it? In this dissertation, I explore different aspects of the scientific domain of psychometrics – its disciplinary structure, its historical development, its practices, its models, and its values – to improve our understanding of this lesser-known and complex discipline. Psychometrics as understood in this dissertation is the field that concerns itself with the measurement and prediction of human behavior. Psychometric research usually entails a thorough investigation into the development and/or application of one or more psychometric models, which are often members of the families of Item Response Theory (IRT, Embretson & Reise, 2000; Van der Linden & Hambleton, 2013), Structural Equation Modeling (SEM, Jöreskog, 1970; 1973), Multidimensional Scaling (Kruskal & Wish, 1978), and, particularly at my university, Network Models (Borsboom & Cramer, 2013; Epskamp, Rhemtulla, & Borsboom, 2017). IRT models are tools for analyzing testing data (item responses), by modeling the relationship between item responses and a latent variable (an unobservable characteristic or attribute such as reading ability or intelligence). Structural Equation Modeling is a method for analyzing structural analyses among two or more latent variables, for example, the structural relationship between reading ability and spatial reasoning. Originally, psychometric research mainly concerned itself with methods for the analysis of test data, and developed concepts such as reliability, validity, and factor – 11 – Chapter One General Introduction analysis (possibly three of the most influential and most exported psychometric con- 2006; Sijtsma, 2006; Groenen & Van der Ark, 2006).

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1962 Speech—Theater University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan 5 probable if an individual initially agrees with the message or is the probability of reinforcement or change greater if the subject initially disagrees with the message? The implications for persuasion are im- O portant. Research reported by Brehm suggests that pressures will develop to reduce the state of dissonance. Evidence to support this. statement is based on subject action. This study will involve an examination of attitudinal changes taking place in consonant and dis­ sonant subjects. The direct and indirect attitude scales will be utilized to measure the extent of attitude change as a result of the communication stimuli. I. Experimental Questions The experimental questions to be answered in this study are these: 1. What relationship exists between attitude scores toward censorship obtained with a Thurstone attitude scale and attitude scores toward censorship obtained with a forced-choice attitude instrument? 2. Do positive type communication stimuli induce greater atti­ tude changes than communication stimuli which are negative in structure? 3. Are changes in attitude by homogeneously structured audi­ ences as a result of a communication stimulus different from changes in attitude by heterogeneously structured audiences? O Jack W.

  • Epistemological Dizziness in the Psychology Laboratory: Lively Subjects, Anxious Experimenters, and Experimental Relations, 1950–1970
    Epistemological Dizziness in the Psychology Laboratory: Lively Subjects, Anxious Experimenters, and Experimental Relations, 1950–1970 Jill Morawski, Wesleyan University Abstract: Since the demise of introspective techniques in the early twentieth century, experimental psychology has largely assumed an administrative arrangement between experimenters and subjects wherein subjects respond to experimenters’ instructions and experimenters meticulously constrain that relationship through experimental controls. During the postwar era this standard arrangement came to be questioned, initiating reflections that resonated with Cold War anxieties about the nature of the subjects and the experimenters alike. Albeit relatively short lived, these interrogations of laboratory relationships gave rise to unconventional testimonies and critiques of experimental method and epistemology. Researchers voiced serious concerns about the honesty and normality of subjects, the politics of the laboratory, and their own experimental conduct. Their reflective commentaries record the intimacy of subject and experimenter relations and the plentiful cultural materials that constituted the experimental situation, revealing the permeable boundaries between laboratory and everyday life. Above all, “observation” means that special care is being taken: the root of meaning of the word is not just “to See,” but “to watch over.” The scientist observes his data with the tireless passion of an anxious mother. —Abraham Kaplan, The Conduct of Inquiry (1964) hen Mike Freesmith, protagonist of the 1956 novel The Ninth Wave, volunteered to W participate in a psychology experiment, the Stanford freshman walked to the laboratory by way of a long corridor lined with lobotomized, nearly catatonic rats. Once he arrived in the lab, the experimenters instructed him to press one of two colored cards that would be displayed at five-second intervals; if he pressed the correct color, a penny would be dispensed.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2010 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. ERNEST ROPIEQUET HILGARD July 25, 1904–October 22, 2001 BY GORDON H . BOWER N ELOQUENT AND RENOWNED spokesman of 20th-century Apsychology, Ernest R. Hilgard, passed away on October 22, 2001. He died peacefully at his home in Palo Alto, Cali- fornia, at age 97 from cardiopulmonary arrest. His death brought to a close the career of one of the more prominent and influential figures of the behavioral sciences. A member of the National Academy of Sciences early in his career and leader of many professional organizations of psychologists, Hilgard profoundly affected the substance and direction of the profession of psychology. Known as Jack to his friends and colleagues, Hilgard enjoyed a most productive and lengthy professional career as an academic psychologist—essentially the last 75 years of his life. A longtime professor in the psychology department at Stanford University, he took mandatory retirement at age 65. But true to form, as an emeritus professor he continued to work on research grants and write books. Hilgard made lasting contributions to many facets of academia: first, as a teacher and writer of influential text- books and as a scholar who synthesized and advanced impor- tant areas of behavioral research; second, as an academic administrator who played key roles in the development of Stanford university and of its strong psychology department; 4 BIOGRA PH ICAL MEMOIRS third, as a critical voice for restructuring the governance of the discipline and the profession of psychology; fourth, as a prominent advocate and example of serious study of the history of psychology; and fifth, as a citizen who contributed initiative, ideas, time, and money to civic organizations and causes.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1959 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. LEWIS MADISON TERMAN January 15, i8jj-December 21, 1956 BY EDWIN G. BORING EWIS MADISON TERMAN, for fifty years one of America's staunchest I-J supporters of mental testing as a scientific psychological tech- nique, and for forty years the psychologist who more than any other was responsible for making the IQ (the intelligence quotient) a household word, was born on a farm in Johnson County, Indiana, on January 15, 1877, and died at Stanford University on Decem- ber 21, 1956, a distinguished professor emeritus, not quite eighty years old.1 When a biographer seeks to find causes for the events in the life that he is describing, he is apt to find himself facing the nature-nur- ture dilemma, uncertain whether, in order to account for the traits of his subject, he should look to ancestry or to environment. Ter- man, as it happens—when he wrote his own biography at the age of fifty-five (1932)—faced exactly this problem in accounting for him- self.2 In his choices he must indeed have been influenced by the Zeitgeist, for, as the weight of scientific opinion shifted from heredi- tarianism toward environmentalism, his judgment shifted too throughout the forty years (1916-1956) during which this issue re- mained vital to him.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
