Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.4K
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.

Ordinal Level of Measurement00:55

Ordinal Level of Measurement

24.2K
The way a set of data is measured is called its level of measurement. Correct statistical procedures depend on a researcher being familiar with levels of measurement. For analysis, data are classified into four levels of measurement—nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
Data measured using an ordinal scale are similar to nominal scale data, but there is one major difference. The ordinal scale data can be ordered. An example of ordinal scale data is a list of the top five national parks...

Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

1.3K
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Factorial Design02:01

Factorial Design

13.2K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

53.1K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Group Design02:01

Group Design

9.3K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Area of Science:

  • Pharmacy Education
  • Professional Competency Development
  • Global Health Workforce

Background:

  • International pharmacy practice evolution necessitates standardized core competencies.
  • Selecting a minimum set of global competencies from numerous frameworks is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a dual-strategy approach for identifying highly preferred competencies.
  • To ascertain the most preferred items from over 100 disparate educational and professional competencies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized electronic surveys with 30 panelists from the European Union and United States.
  • Employed a Likert-type format followed by an ipsative/forced choice format.
  • Analyzed competency rankings using non-parametric statistical tests.

Main Results:

  • The two survey methods yielded similar results, showing a significant correlation in rankings (Spearman's rho = 0.30, P < 0.09).
  • Over 100 competencies were evaluated by panelists across various practice settings.

Conclusions:

  • A sequential two-step strategy (Likert-type then ipsative/forced choice) is effective for preference selection from large item sets.
  • The ipsative/forced choice format introduced differences in preferences by design.
  • This methodology is applicable for selecting core competencies and in other fields like patient-reported outcomes.
