Theory of Attribution I: Correspondent Inference Theory01:15

Theory of Attribution I: Correspondent Inference Theory

32
Correspondent inference theory, proposed by Jones and Davis in 1965, seeks to explain how individuals infer stable personality traits from observed behaviors. It suggests that people attribute actions to underlying dispositions rather than external circumstances, particularly when the behavior appears intentional and socially significant.Voluntary Behavior and Dispositional AttributionAccording to this theory, individuals are more likely to attribute behavior to personal traits when it appears...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.3K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Principle of Equivalence01:18

Principle of Equivalence

2.3K
According to Albert Einstein (1897-1955), free-falling and feeling weightless are intrinsically linked. If a person were in free-fall under gravity, for example, diving towards the Earth from an airplane, they would feel completely weightless. Similarly, a person descending in a lift may feel partially weightless. Broadly speaking, it is assumed that an object in a uniform gravitational field and an object undergoing constant acceleration in the absence of gravity are under the same...

Accuracy, limits, and approximation01:28

Accuracy, limits, and approximation

586
Accuracy, limits, and approximations are common in many fields, especially in engineering calculations. These concepts are imperative for ensuring that a given value is as close as possible to its true value.
Accuracy is defined as the closeness of the measured value to the true or actual value. In engineering mechanics, repeated measurements are taken during theoretical or experimental analyses to ensure that the result is precise and accurate.
The accuracy of any solution is based on the...

Per-Unit Sequence Models01:26

Per-Unit Sequence Models

137
An ideal Y-Y transformer, grounded through neutral impedances, displays per-unit sequence networks akin to those of a single-phase ideal transformer when subjected to balanced positive- or negative-sequence currents. These currents do not produce neutral currents, and their associated voltage drops.
Zero-sequence currents, which are identical in magnitude and phase, generate a neutral current, resulting in voltage drops across the neutral impedance and the low-voltage winding. If the...

Goodness-of-Fit Test01:16

Goodness-of-Fit Test

4.7K
The goodness-of-fit test is a type of hypothesis test which determines whether the data "fits" a particular distribution. For example, one may suspect that some anonymous data may fit a binomial distribution. A chi-square test (meaning the distribution for the hypothesis test is chi-square) can be used to determine if there is a fit. The null and alternative hypotheses may be written in sentences or stated as equations or inequalities. The test statistic for a goodness-of-fit test is given as...

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Data Science
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Missing data, particularly data missing at random (MAR), is common in research and can compromise findings.
  • Multiple imputation is a prevalent method for handling MAR data in education and behavioral sciences.
  • Incorrectly specified imputation models can lead to incompatible estimations and biased results.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the applicability of traditional Fully Conditional Specification (FCS) for multiple imputation.
  • To guide the specification of model-based imputation methods when FCS is not appropriate.
  • To provide practical tools for checking imputation model compatibility.

Main Methods:

  • Summarization of compatibility requirements for imputation models.
  • Development of a decision tree to assess the suitability of traditional FCS.
  • Overview and illustration of sequential and separate model-based imputation specifications.
  • Provision of example code for the Blimp software.

Main Results:

  • Identified conditions under which traditional FCS is applicable.
  • Presented two key Compatibility Requirements for easier researcher assessment.
  • Detailed two types of model-based imputation: sequential and separate specifications.
  • Demonstrated model-based imputation with practical examples and software code.

Conclusions:

  • Researchers can use the provided guidelines and decision tree to select appropriate multiple imputation methods.
  • Model-based imputation offers a robust alternative when FCS assumptions are violated.
  • The Blimp software facilitates the implementation of advanced imputation techniques.
