Mainly it depends on the objectives of your evaluation, but if you use JAP test, in my opinion it will very beneficial for you.

Hi, have a look at Edward Tufte book Data Analysis for Politics and Policy.

Dear Benjamin Neumann . See the following useful RG links:

I'm not sure why you would want to do this. You would loose information about individual differences and increase measurement error. This could lead to bias in, for example, estimates of correlations of the scale scores with other variables. Unless you have very specific reasons for grouping the scores, I would advise against it.

Visit also the following useful link: http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/113462/3/Greene_ai_and_the_social_sciences_published.pdf

The two summary statistics commonly used for meta-analysis of continuous data are the mean difference (MD) and the standardized mean difference (SMD). Other options are available, such as the ratio of means.

For exploratory factor analysis?

Bartlett’s test will tell you whether your data fit for factor analysis or not?

And the chi-square test will tell you if there is a sufficient quantity of factors extracted to explain the variance observed in the data.

I think you will require both.

Best!!

If you are doing a multiple case comparison, I like Robert Yin's book on this kind of research (Case Study Research: Design and Methods).

Oh now I see. Do you mean taxonomies of phenomena in psychology? Of course now I understand that my answer is for the philosophical part and not so much for categories that are used in research on general psychological processes.

just found an article https://retractionwatch.com/2021/12/07/researchers-sound-alarm-on-predatory-rankings/

Actually, I do not know that mixed-method has limitations. Thank you for the useful RG link.

Dear Caitlin Blaser Mapitsa,

In my opinion, this science portal, the Research Gate web platform, is also an excellent platform for the development of scientific cooperation in the field of social sciences. The Research Gate portal is an internet platform that facilitates the development of scientific cooperation on a local, regional, as well as international and global scale. The possibilities of developing cooperation through the RG portal concern various fields of science and scientific disciplines, including various research topics developed within the social sciences. I invite you to research cooperation.

Best regards,

Dariusz

Min Soek Won -

You can research "graphical residual analysis" on the internet. It is a scatterplot technique that I think you can learn fairly quickly. Then, "cross-validation" just means looking to see if your model too closely just fits that one sample. There are various techniques for that. If you can split your sample into two smaller samples, you could see if graphical residual analyses on the separate samples, so separate scatterplots, tell you the same model fits well for both. (More data would be helpful.) That would be one form of cross-validation.

Anyway, you could start by just researching "graphical residual analysis."

Best wishes - Jim

Hi,

a sample size of 200-300 persons answering your survey seems to be ok if the city is not that big. Depending on how differentiated your analysis is intended to be (e.g. for living areas, districts and so on) you might want to have more participants.

A response rate of 5-10% is reasonable. So, you would have to contact about 3000 persons. If you want to do a online survey, this can be done by advertising on social media or by using some other way of dissemination, like e-mail lists.

If you do it by regular mail, response rate is also quite low.

If you want to do face to face, these might be less persons to be contacted, because the response rate is higher.

A development in science and technology

Social sciences entail individuals' life stories and their interactions with other individuals. Definitely, social sciences can include sociology, anthropology, and political sciences, among others but, the key points are how individuals' ideologies can be measured scientifically. Thus, social scientists ask questions and information gathered from specific individuals, to generalize specific subjects they have in mind.

Dear Dr Tadiwa Elisha Nyamasvisva,

In my opinion, age is not an important factor since you can see that a lot of old person are sometimes more performant than young people (and vice versa). However, the discipline of study, the actual infrastructure of the university, the type of reserach conducted during a PhD and the disponibility of reactifs and materials (in time) are the keys factors to clearly determine the time in which a PhD could possibly be obtained (let's not forget that the choice of PhD supervisor is also a crusial / mandatory element).

Hi,

This is one of the most widely used books on scale development

DeVellis RF. Scale Development: Theory and Application. Los Angeles, CA: Sage Publications (2012).

I am an R user. But I don't work in the traditional social sciences. ... I think I would add one word of caution. Much of the analysis in R is done with supplemental packages. Some of these are well established. But, honestly, anyone can write and publish a package without any review of the soundness of the functions in the package. I could see reviewers being skeptical of packages that are less well known. And, honestly, it's easy for users to misuse packages. There's not an overall consistency with how different functions in different packages expect data to be formatted. It's important to read and understand package documentation .... If you are new to using R, it's important to find good and useful examples of analyses. Things are better now, but 10 or 12 years ago when I started using R, it seemed like the available examples online were tough to follow. These are still around. ... As a beginner, it's a good idea to find a published example of an analysis that you can duplicate in R. These could come from textbooks or various websites. For the beginner, it's also a good idea to use one of the gui implementations of R, like Jamovi or Rcommander. But I honestly recommend, when working on a dissertation, to do analysis with a scripting language as opposed to a gui ---- which could be in R or SAS or SPSS, and so on ---- so you can go back and see exactly what analysis you did, and you can copy or modify the analysis as needed.

It is impossible to help you without acknowledging your research question, problem, and domain. What are you researching? What do you want to answer? If you give us these critical elements, we can certainly help you.

Isabelle Skakni A good rule of thumb to follow when selecting whether to employ qualitative or quantitative data is: quantitative analysis is preferable if you want to confirm or test something (a theory or hypothesis) and If you want to understand anything, use qualitative research (concepts, thoughts, experiences)

According to Creswell's book. These are philosophical assumptions and interpretative frameworks. I would recommend his book:

Creswell, J. W. (2013). Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing among Five Approaches. Los Angles: Sage.

It depends on the admission requirements at your university, and the scientific specialization also has a role in the number and type of science courses required of each Ph.D. student.

Then it will depend what you want to do.

a good paper on this that describes the alternatives is Nahm 2016:

Dear Neesha

Please see this link. Hope this can help you

The operationalization of digital capital is crucial in order to research digital inequalities. Digital capital, according to the definitions of leading authors in the field of digital sociology, agrees very well with Bourdieu's analytical focus on how capitals convert into each other, which may explain how new forms are being created inequalities or maintain existing ones. As for concrete case studies in the digital sphere, digital capital offers some handy theoretical tools that are more appropriate and specific than classical Bourdieu notions such as habitus or cultural capital. Changing the nature of the Internet and modern technologies requires both flexible theoretical concepts, and existing one's definitions and conceptualizations of digital capital can serve as a potential response to challenges of digital case studies. However, digital capital needs to be further expanded to include elements of digital culture precisely because it could adequately encompass online culture and digital products, such as online memes that are becoming increasingly popular and diverse. Recent works dealing with digital inequalities in Europe and the world show that digital inequalities in many countries can be perceived through the same social factors.

Before we start an article or research on emotional pain, I think we should look closely about the main components or dimensions that make up emotional pain, and through which we can find a treatment that enables us to overcome or alleviate it in the individual who suffers from it.

Hi again, Chinchu C Mullanvathukkal , interesting how the researchgate alorithm works, this paper was just recommended to me, maybe the tool they portray is just, what you are looking for:

Sample size estimation should be executed so that the study objectives could be achieved significantly. Sample size calculation depends on various factors: size of difference, significance level, power (chance of detecting a significant result if true difference is there) and standard deviation of data (to understand how much variability).

and thus the following formula will be suitable as it tends to be conservative:

[2*(Z(1-α/2)+Zβ)2 * sigma square]/Delta square

Z = points on normal distribution to give required power (β) and significance (α)

CI Approach – normal distribution – shebisos theorem – standard distribution (z value – the standardized standard deviation – standard deviation from the mean)

Confidence interval – error chance of 5% - the alpha

Z = x – mean/standard error(distribution of the sample standard deviation) – sigma / root over n

sigma / root over n = x – mew/z

root over n = Z sigma/ x – mew

n = z sigma whole square/x – mew whole square

Level of precision, level of confidence or risk, degree of variability in the attributes being measured (prevalence), external validity

1. Identify major study variable

2. Determine type of estimate

3. Indicate expected frequency of factor of interest – if study something that’s rare or normal

4. Decide on desired presicion of the estimate

5. Decide on acceptable risk that estimate will fall outside its real population value

6. Adjust for population size

7. Adjust for estimated design effect

8. Adjust for estimated response rate

Dear Joshua,

Every year happening international SOCIN conferences at Mykolas Romeris university (of social sciences) in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Dear Dr Dariusz Prokopowicz,

A very interesting topic, thank you. In my opinion, all scientific discoveries established during the previous centuries such as mathematical equations serves as the basis for the actual mathematical approach. Another example would be the geographical works of antiquity which have served both as a scientific model and also as a corpus of data which could be used for modern purposes.

Best wishes,

I think 'GRIN Publishing' is one of the vanity publishers. Do not publish your thesis or book via this publisher, it may bring trouble in your scientific career.

China is experiencing a “national movement” as companies, regional governments and academia shift gears to help the country meet its climate goals. The world’s top carbon emitter has, for the first time, published plans broadly outlining how it might achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2060, and a peak of emissions before 2030 — promises it made in 2019. The move has spurred more than ten prominent universities and institutions to set up carbon-neutrality-research institutes already this year; the Chinese Academy of Sciences launched a centre last month. But some researchers are still disappointed with the climate commitments the country has made so far...

Check on this paper.

Você pode ler o livro "Microfísica do Poder" de Michel Focault.

A literature review reflects the sum of the details of previous works in the field specified + present area of proposed work may be emperical / theoretical scopre of study .

In my mind, you can try to have a list of this year's journal index and then select depending on your work.

Both are essential my friend...

A bit too much of the results is presented on Researchgate with the lack of the backyard and preparation process for research. It could be good to see also the kitchen of the dinner of the researchers.

Excellent! I will follow up on this! Thank you!

Angel, I have published lots of quantitative data in the humanities. I am re-developing structuralist anthropology, using a new theory of subconscious expression of archetypal structure. The model consists of five inter-dependent layers of structure, totaling about 100 categoric recurrent features, including a spatial layer. The data thus far includes 800 artworks and rock art works, 100 built sites, four iconic sets, a myth cycle, and soon to include a pilgrimage route, and some pantheons. The subject is recurrent features in all the cultural media. The model is over-determined and highly testable.

The outcome thus far is consistent, that every cultural set expresses archetypal structure; that subconscious behaviour is prevalent and rigorous; that structuralist analysis enables some conscious, categoric, quantitative access to subconscious behaviour; that there are no exceptions; that subconscious behaviour is compulsive; and predictive. The implications for anthropology, sociology, art history, psychology, cognitive studies, and philosophy, are significant.

I expect that some researchers, and perhaps some institutes, would test some of my data, and test the model on other data. I have developed a standard format for cultural data, to enable comparison. I expect confirmation, and that the humanities would become scientific, and rid themselves of the current silent paradigm of assumptions of culture and consciousness as supposedly 'invented, developed, diffused, evolved.' The new paradigm would validate Zpif and some other theorists, and resolve many divisive issues in the human sciences.

No amount of narrative, qualitative argument could develop the human sciences, or resolve their correspondence 'theories' and confirmation biases. Only quantitative data would change the paradigm from assumptions to theory. The new model is capable of answering the big questions of the social sciences, including Who and what humanity is. The answer involves our species as embedded in natural structure, and out works as extensions of nature. Individual works use a narrow range of optional features. Randomly chosen groups of works, from 50 upward, ideally 100 upward, reveal a sixth layer of structure, being fixed average frequencies for each of the 100 recurrent features.

The data dispels fondly held delusions of Who and what humanity thought it were. I expect that the humanities could revolutionise their profile in popular culture, where the central flaw of mis-applied evolutionism is particularly pronounced.

I am adding to my data quarterly by publishing magazines themed on specific cultures or sites or media.

I invite you use my data. I situate my theory in structuralist anthropology, and give a summary of my data and its format, is at the end of my paper Blueprint. Here is a link: https://edmondfurter.wordpress.com/2020/04/01/blueprint-the-subconscious-structure-in-cultural-media/

Dear Ken Falculan ,

The journal “International Journal of Humanities and Social Science (IJHSS)” ISSN 2220-8488 (Print), 2221-0989 (Online) (http://ijhssnet.com/) is published by “Center for Promoting Ideas (CPI)” (http://www.cpinet.info/ ) and this publisher is included in the Beall’s list of predatory publishers https://beallslist.net/ . This is a warning sign. There are more warning signs that this might be a predatory journal:

-There seems to be something odd with the ISSN numbers of the journal (just look at for example https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/2221-0989)

-They ‘proudly’ present in the latest news (http://www.ijhssnet.com/journal/index/1790#ind) a DRJI indexing, which is a notorious example of so-called misleading metrics (https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/)

-See also http://flakyj.blogspot.com/search/label/CPI

-The indexing page misleadingly suggest a membership of DOAJ while they are not

So, I would say avoid this one.

Best regards.

That's a really good question, and perhaps unanswerable.

I see Science in one corner and Philosophy in the other corner--opposite one and other.

Will they come out to fight each other, or to cooperate?

This quandary should be talked about more frequently.

The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic is a global epidemic. On a global scale, the state of the pandemic in March 2020 was announced by the World Health Organization. Therefore, this organization could declare the end of the pandemic. On the other hand, the end of the epidemic on a regional, national or local scale can be announced by national central institutions of the health care system, including the ministries of health, in agreement with the government. In order to be able to declare the end of the epidemic on a national, regional or local scale, it is necessary to have a relatively large decrease in the number of new coronavirus infections, a decrease in the number of people seriously ill with Covid-19 disease and deaths caused by this disease. The decrease in Coronavirus infections and in sick people should be sustained in a longer period, i.e. min. several months, taking into account the periods of possible occurrence of subsequent epidemic waves caused by new variants of the Coronavirus and occurring in other regions of the world. In addition, an important factor that may be taken into account in the event of declaring the end of a pandemic on a global scale or an epidemic on a regional scale will be the level of vaccination of citizens with highly effective vaccines against Coronavirus and the level of social, collective immunity of the society achieved thanks to these vaccines.

In my opinion, the development of ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies, the use of Internet remote communication, the increase in digitization and internationalization of communication processes taking place during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, the development of online social networks, e.g. the Research Gate portal increases the opportunities development of international cooperation in the world of science.

Cronbach alphas are a measure of internal consistency for a given sample of an specific measure. When you have high internal consistency on subscales but low consistency on the overall scale, it may mean that the construct of the complete scale is not captured well by the subscales. In other words, you may find that a construct is multi rather than unidimensional. If this is the case, then sometimes you will have a low reliability coefficient for the whole scale but high reliability for subscales. This is because the subscales are measuring more specific dimensions of the construct. Also, if the subscales are not strongly correlated, you might also find that a higher order construct represented by the complete scale will show lower reliability. If I were you, I would run a factor analysis on the measure to assess its dimensionality. Of course, there are other reasons for low reliability, such as context. That is, the alpha coefficient is not an index of the reliability of the measure in general, but rather for the unique sample and context in which data were collected. This may be worth considering as well.

Hello Dear

In literary criticism, I would recommend the integral approach which means using different approaches wherever it is needed. These approaches include the psychological, historical, political, social etc. Best regards.

Hi Dr Dariusz Prokopowicz . It increases continuously with time.

Together with Jie Zhang we investigated a similar question for tourism and using data for that particular pillar of the WTO (commitments under tourism specifically). The paper is available under my profile - it is the one published in JITED in 2013. We found out that it is mainly small island economies that may have less to gain from trade liberalisation that are not members of this pillar (or in fact of the WTO in general). Over time you will have the problem that nearly all countries are members of the WTO, so then it becomes harder to investigate your hypothesis. Perhaps you need to look into more particular explanatory factors (as we did in our paper) to increase the reliability of the data you are using. Reverse causality will of course be another classical econometric problem that you are facing - but it could be fixed using a panel data approach. Some countries may also face the problem now with hyperglobalisation that their WTO membership has led to more trade but of the extensive growth type - e.g. China may be trading more and more with the rest of the world in quantities but not necessarily earning more from those exports over time. That leads us into the current global environmental trap we are in (drawing in more and more natural resources and emitting more and more CO2 without it leading to more welfare or value) - not unlike the one the Soviet Union faced before it imploded.
