How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

The present study explored the relationship between grit, motivational beliefs and self-regulation among undergraduate students in the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey. These factors place the responsibility of learning on the students, rather than the educational environment. As most studies continue to focus on Western, educated...
Previous research has indicated that after a functional communicative response (FCR) has been repeatedly strengthened with continuous reinforcement, the interventionist can gradually introduce and increase a delay between the FCR and delivery of reinforcer (Hagopian et al., 1998). Although there have been studies demonstrating the consequential eff...
A primary component of natural selection in which human and nonhuman animals compete
for potential mates within the same sex and species, in relation to reproductive success, by means of female choice and male competition.
As the university environment can present unique challenges, it is important to look at the ways in which childhood trauma can impact student resilience, especially in non-Western contexts. The present study examines the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and measures of resilience among college students in Turkey. Students r...
Previous research on the shooter bias effect has focused on Black versus White male stimuli, with participants mistakenly shooting unarmed Black stimuli more often than White stimuli. If shooter bias is related to threat perception, a pattern of bias should be present when using images of other threat-related ethnic minorities. Forty participants c...
Quantitative personality models of self-concept structures that contain multidimensional and dynamic components developed from theories about personality and individual differences (Showers 1992) Overview The self-concept is contextualized. Research on personality and individual differences have attempted to quantitatively model how self-concepts a...
Poster presented at APS, Washington DC, 2019. Null results found for vision type (myopes vs non-myopes). However, analyzing multifractal dimensions described that increased distance type (cognitive load) resulted in greater complexity or variability in responses to the stimuli. Not all results figures and tables are included here due to poster spac...
Questions
Questions (11)
Say I am interested in examining individual differences in cognition and behavior and am interested in how specific survey scores and parameters predict/covary with performance on a task. How would I analyze this data based on the literature?
Are there conventional methods for analyzing differences in psychological phenomenon across individuals? Is that exactly what uni/multivariate statistics is for? Or are there alternative methods? Are there where advanced statistics comes in?
Is it more compelling and/or informative to analyze individual differences in a single subject design, an aggregate model/submodel (GLM), or as a dynamical system?
What does the basic and current literature say? What papers or books explicitly discuss this?
Thanks,
JD
I am looking for suggestions on a textbook for R/Rstudio.
- I know there are several available on Amazon and free on the web.
- Do professionals have any suggestions on which R books are the best quality for teaching students or independent researchers in statistics?
- I am looking for something with direct instructions in R (code) and covers: Bivariate, multivariate, data analytics, computational modeling and/or time series analysis.
Thanks

I have always heard of qualitative methods but they are seldom covered in programs that are primarily behaviorism.
Please provide any articles comparing quant and qual methods and Phil of science.
What are the pros and cons?
Is it wise to use both quat and qual methods?
Thank you for comments

How do we measure culture?
Do we simply observe groups?
Do we compare cultural group behavioral measures?
Do we just measure personality traits?
Do we describe and evaluate cultural artifacts?
What linear and nonlinear methods and statistics are used to analyze cultures?
What are the current paradigms?
What are you thoughts?
I am interested in cultural anthropology and believe cross-cultural research is important for understanding unique, complex diversity that culture manifests in social cognition and other phenomenon. However, it is difficult to directly measure and model.
Please share comments and any readings.
Thank you,

Hello,
What nonlinear techniques are commonly used to describe response time data.
Research context: Participants will identify a gun or tool by pressing a button after being primed with a black or white face.
Please let me know if more information is required.
Thank you,

Does anyone have a SPSS syntax for signal detection theory procedures for analyzing response time data? Does anyone know the procedure to compute d' in SPSS and in R?
Thank you everyone,
JDD
Can someone please provide an outline for ERP signal-averaging techniques associated with implicit racial bias. I know which ERP waves I want to examine and am familiar with electrode placement and EEG methodology. I know it is suggested to use signal-averaging procedures because ERPs are small.
However, I do not know how to perform these techniques. Can you provide any direction on how to find this information as far as acquisition setup and analysis procedures? I currently have access to hardware and softwares that can perform such techniques but I do not know which is the best procedure. Does anyone have a checklist handy?
Should I think about power analysis?
Can anyone suggest possible nonlinear techniques used to describe ERP data?
Thank you for comments,
JDD
In the lab, we use DirectRT to construct stimulus presentation trials for experimental research purposes. I use the BIOPAC MP150 hardware to record EEG data. Data is analyzed in BIOPAC AcqKnowledge Software.
Goal
Record ERP differences in response to armed and unarmed black and white targets in a simulation.
Help
How to I time-lock stimulus onset and participants responses in AcqKnowledge to DirectRT Software so that I can extract ERP data?
Would doing this require additional software/hardware?
What are other options commonly used for syncing neural activity to stimulus presentations?
Upon acquiring synced data, how to I extract ERPs during stimulus onset and participants responses in BIOPAC AcqKnowledge Software?
Thank you for any comments or links
Are you familiar with the AcqKnowledge Software and BIOPAC MP150 EEG amplifiers?
Are you familiar with various analyzes of EEG and ERP data in AcqKnowledge Software?
Thank you for any useful comments :)
