概括
虚拟多重迷你采访 (vMMI) 与面对面采访 (ipMMI) 相比,没有显示出整体得分差异. 然而,代表性不足的少数民族 (URiM) 女性在虚拟格式中表现明显更好,这表明录取中性别和种族之间存在复杂的相互作用.
科学领域:
- 医学教育 医学教育
- 招生评估 招生评估
- 医学中的多样性 医学中的多样性
背景情况:
- 多重小面试 (MMI) 是一个广泛使用的招生工具.
- 在COVID-19大流行期间,转向虚拟多重迷你面试 (vMMI) 需要对其与面对面MMI (ipMMI) 的可比性进行检查.
- 了解不同面试方式的不同人口群体之间的绩效差异对于公平的录取至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 在虚拟 (vMMI) 和实体 (ipMMI) 设置中比较申请人的表现.
- 根据申请人报告的性别认同和少数群体地位 (在医学中代表性不足 - URiM) 调查绩效差异.
主要方法:
- 追溯分析2017-2022年MMI数据,包括2248名申请人ipMMI和627人vMMI.
- 男女申请人之间的分数比较,以及URiM和非URiM申请人之间的分数比较.
- 差异的三向分析 (ANOVA) 来评估性别,URiM状态和面试方式对MMI分数的影响.
主要成果:
- 在vMMI和ipMMI格式之间的MMI分数没有显著的整体差异.
- 在这两种模式中,女性的得分比男性高.
- 观察到性别和URIM状态之间的显著相互作用:URIM女性在vMMI格式中得分明显高于非URIM女性.
结论:
- 在申请人的整体表现方面,vMMI格式与ipMMI可比.
- 在vMMI环境中改善URiM女性的表现是一个新的发现,可能与复杂的种族和性别相互作用有关.
- 这些发现支持MMI在减轻医学院招生中偏见的实用性,这需要进一步调查模式特定的人口表现.

Confirmation Biases
5.4K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Bias
3.6K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies
88
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Surveys
14.7K
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.

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies
37.2K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Group Design
8.8K
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...
