Measures of Intelligence01:29

Measures of Intelligence

Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this; it...
Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Binet's Contribution to Measures of Intelligence01:23

Binet's Contribution to Measures of Intelligence

Alfred Binet, along with his student Théophile Simon, was tasked by the French Ministry of Education in 1904 to create a method for identifying students who struggled to learn through conventional classroom instruction. This initiative aimed to address overcrowding by placing such students in specialized schools. Binet and Simon developed an intelligence test comprising 30 tasks, ranging from simple commands, like touching one's nose or ear, to more complex tasks, such as drawing designs from...
Wechsler's Contribution to Measures of Intelligence01:23

Wechsler's Contribution to Measures of Intelligence

David Wechsler, a psychologist who worked with World War I veterans, developed a significant IQ test in 1939 called the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale. This test was innovative because it combined several subtests that measured both verbal and nonverbal skills, reflecting Wechsler's belief that intelligence is a global capacity involving purposeful action, rational thinking, and effective interaction with the environment. This test later evolved into the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale...
Persuasion Strategies01:52

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).
Measures of Central Tendency02:16

Measures of Central Tendency

The "center" of a data set is also a way of describing location. The two most widely used measures of the "center" of the data are the mean (average) and the median. The words "mean" and "average" are often used interchangeably. The substitution of one word for the other is common practice. The technical term is "arithmetic mean" and "average" is technically a center location. However, in practice among non-statisticians, "average" is commonly accepted for "arithmetic mean."

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Psychometrics
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Participation is a key outcome in rehabilitation.
  • Existing measures often focus on objective performance rather than subjective experience.
  • There is a need for a tool to assess participation enfranchisement from stakeholder perspectives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a measure of participation enfranchisement.
  • To capture subjective perceptions of choice, control, contribution, and value in participation.
  • To create a tool usable by individuals with and without disabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Survey design utilizing pilot testing and a revised instrument.
  • Administered to diverse adult samples including those with and without activity limitations.
  • Employed psychometric analyses: multidimensional scaling, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and rating scale analysis.

Main Results:

  • Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors of participation enfranchisement: perceived choice/control, community contribution, and feeling valued.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis provided marginal support for these factors.
  • Rating scale analysis indicated marginal person separation and no misfitting items.

Conclusions:

  • Participation enfranchisement is a distinct, subjective aspect of participation, separate from objective performance or general satisfaction.
  • The developed 19-item measure shows potential for characterizing long-term rehabilitation outcomes.
  • This new measure offers a valuable tool for understanding rehabilitation stakeholder experiences.
