Decision Making: P-value Method

Decision Making: P-value Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Decision Making: Traditional Method

Decision Making: Traditional Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Decision Making

Decision Making

Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-Report Tests of Personality

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.

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

Methods of Documentation III: PIE

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Area of Science:

Disability Studies
Legal Capacity
Assistive Technology

Background:

Supported decision making (SDM) is gaining traction as an alternative to guardianship.
It aims to uphold the legal capacity of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
Existing assessments do not adequately identify support needs for SDM.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the development of the Supported Decision Making Inventory System (SDMIS).
To gather initial feedback on the SDMIS from self-advocates with ID.
To provide a tool for individuals with IDD and their support systems.

Main Methods:

Development of the SDMIS, comprising three sections: Personal Factors, Environmental Demands, and Decision Making Autonomy.
Pilot testing and feedback collection from self-advocates with intellectual disability.

Main Results:

The SDMIS was developed through a structured process.
Initial feedback from self-advocates was collected and is discussed.
The inventory aims to facilitate identification and planning of necessary supports.

Conclusions:

The SDMIS is a novel assessment tool designed to support decision-making for individuals with IDD.
Further research, policy development, and practice implementation are needed.
The tool supports the right to legal capacity and self-determination for people with IDD.
