Rotter's Locus of Control

Rotter's Locus of Control

Julian Rotter introduced the concept of locus of control, a cognitive factor that significantly influences personality development and learning. Locus of control refers to an individual's beliefs about the extent of control they have over events in their lives. According to Rotter, this belief system can be categorized into two types: internal and external locus of control.
Individuals with an internal locus of control believe that their personal efforts and decisions directly affect their...

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.

Time-Domain Interpretation of PD Control

Time-Domain Interpretation of PD Control

Proportional-Derivative (PD) control is a widely used control method in various engineering systems to enhance stability and performance. In a system with only proportional control, common issues include high maximum overshoot and oscillation, observed in both the error signal and its rate of change. This behavior can be divided into three distinct phases: initial overshoot, subsequent undershoot, and gradual stabilization.
Consider the example of control of motor torque. Initially, a positive...

Frequency-Domain Interpretation of PD Control

Frequency-Domain Interpretation of PD Control

Proportional-Derivative (PD) controllers are widely used in fan control systems to improve stability and performance. A fan control system can be effectively represented using a Bode plot to illustrate the impact of a PD controller through its transfer function. The Bode plot visually conveys how PD control modifies the fan's response across various frequencies, providing a frequency domain interpretation of the controller's behavior.
The proportional control gain, combined with the...

Nominal Level of Measurement

Nominal Level of Measurement

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. Not every statistical operation can be used with every set of data. For analysis, data are classified into four levels of measurement—nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.
The data that cannot be measured but can be grouped into categories fall under the nominal level of measurement. Data that is measured using a nominal...

Controls in Experiments

Controls in Experiments

When conducting an experiment, it is crucial to have control to reduce bias and accurately measure the dependent variables. It also marks the results more reliable. Controls are elements in an experiment that have the same characteristics as the treatment groups but are not affected by the independent variable. By sorting these data into control and experimental conditions, the relationship between the dependent and independent variables can be drawn. A randomized experiment always includes a...

Area of Science:

Psychology
Cognitive Science
Psychometrics

Background:

Individual differences exist in phenomenological control, the ability to align perception with intentions.
The Phenomenological Control Scale (PCS) measures this trait, but a Japanese version was needed.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a Japanese version of the Phenomenological Control Scale (PCS-J).
To assess the reliability and validity of the PCS-J in a Japanese sample.

Main Methods:

Development and validation of the PCS-J using preregistered online surveys.
Assessed internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity (positive schizotypy), and discriminant validity (negative schizotypy).

Main Results:

The PCS-J demonstrated sufficient internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
Convergent validity was supported by a weak positive correlation with positive schizotypy.
Discriminant validity was supported by the absence of a correlation with negative schizotypy.

Conclusions:

The PCS-J is a reliable and valid measure of phenomenological control in Japanese samples.
The PCS-J will be valuable for research on perception, phenomenological control, and individual differences in Japan.
This scale facilitates cross-cultural research on perceptual control.
