Attitudes

25.9K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Uncertainty: Overview

1.6K
In analytical chemistry, we often perform repetitive measurements to detect and minimize inaccuracies caused by both determinate and indeterminate errors. Despite the cares we take, the presence of random errors means that repeated measurements almost never have exactly the same magnitude. The collective difference between these measurements - observed values - and the estimated or expected value is called uncertainty. Uncertainty is conventionally written after the estimated or expected value.

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

468
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Schemas

10.8K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Evolutionary Psychology01:20

Evolutionary Psychology

1.3K
Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

Area of Science:

  • Evidence synthesis
  • Scientific publishing
  • Research methodology

Context:

  • Increasing volume of scientific literature necessitates efficient evidence synthesis methods.
  • Overviews of reviews are an emerging publication type offering advantages like faster synthesis and broader evidence summaries.
  • Challenges exist in standardizing methodologies for overviews, including handling overlapping reviews and assessing quality.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the advantages and methodological challenges of conducting overviews of reviews.
  • To identify critical questions regarding the methodology of overviews.
  • To emphasize the need for methodological standards and reporting guidelines.

Summary:

  • Overviews of reviews offer benefits such as time efficiency, broader evidence summaries, and investigation of discordant findings.
  • Key methodological issues include managing overlapping reviews, assessing review quality, resolving conflicting results, and updating evidence.
  • Current overviews often lack sufficient methodological rigor.

Impact:

  • Establishing methodological standards and reporting guidelines will enhance the quality and reliability of overviews of reviews.
  • Improved overviews can provide decision-makers with more robust and comparable evidence for treatments.
  • Addressing methodological rigor will strengthen the utility of overviews in navigating complex scientific literature.
