I don’t necessarily have a set of complete answers, or ones that everyone would agree. The hypothesis could be as simple as a statement, or as complex as a paper, and you might want to find out if there are some normal expectations. But if you and others want to conduct research and expend valuable and often constrained resources, such as your time, collaborators or advisors time, budget, equipment, lab and office space, equipment, etc., you have to develop a proposal or plan that documents concisely what you want to do, what question(s) it theory you want to explore, within the boundaries of time, approximate expenses you expect and funding avenues if known, why your proposal has merit and possibly some statement of commitment or interest that would help market or sell your proposal. It has to be realistic, especially for a graduate degree. Research is costly and competitive, so having your act together, interest and commitment, ability to accomplish work independently, with honesty, integrity and professionalism will go a long way. Research is not necessarily something to take on because you cannot find a job, but for some, it is a satisfying niche or something they learn to love. Long term, it’s not for everybody, it Is demanding, exhausting, possibly a burn out job, but some find it rewarding when that light of discovery comes on, or the ability to help address a problem or exchange technical ideas and expertise in problem solving. For some, research is just the necessary step to achieve an advanced degree, and if that is all it is, try your hardest to find or develop a subject of interest that you can commit to.

Roman Lewandowski , maybe you could read some work by Klaas Sijtsma and Andries van der Ark. They investigate the sum score relation to the latent score. I would suggest to download and read ( ). It seems you think that in SEM you always would perform a factoranalyses, but that is not necessary.

I do agree with the amazing answer and opinions of dr. Amjed 🌹🌺

Dear Shailendra.. we can contribute a lot ..please see our example of what humanities can contribute

You can look here https://www.spring-nutrition.org/publications/tool-summaries/kap-survey-model-knowledge-attitudes-and-practices

I highly suggest the following articles:

Humair Akhtar , I already told which analysis you should do. I am not quite so sure why you are asking it again. You must associate "X" with "Y" using a generalized linear model. Now, please find online ways of running an ordinal logistic regression in SPSS - you live in an era in which this information can be easily found with a simple Google search (I have already found it).

The text of the Declaration can be read in less than five minutes, so I would encourage people to go to the source and read it directly https://gbdeclaration.org/ , without derivative commentaries on it that have an angle to push. The text itself of the Declaration focuses on the traditional concerns of the political Left: the underdog, the vulnerable, the socially excluded, poverty, increasing inequality. I know from reading other interviews that at least two of the three main authors are open about their Left leanings.

Some of the cheap attempts at discrediting the Declaration and its scientific claims are rebutted here:

Dear Michael Issigonis, Yes you are right. There are already many pro-ecological technologies and eco-innovations that are not used and developed on a large scale, but should be developed to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Yes, I agree with you that due to the increase in CO2 emissions, you should try to collect this gas in individual cities by using already known technologies and by increasing green areas, developing electromobility and renewable energy. Besides, as you pointed out, there are several methods of this process (capturing CO2, including from the atmosphere) and these environmental technologies should be urgently developed. Best wishes, All the best, Stay healthy!

You need to have a topic in mind, look in the literature as see if it is a good topic to embark on. If so you need to get related articles and gather your facts.

Cristian Ramos-Vera Thanks for response sir,

Yes i have used hierarchical model (specifically second order path analysis) as my number of items for each first order latent variable was too high. And i have two levels of latent variables to explore. So I want to know

1) Is it logically wrong to make 1st order latent variable as the observed endogenous variable?

2)What are the problems of using second order path modeling?

3) is my method of drawing paths between the two observed endogenous variable predicting two different 2nd order unobserved variables are statistically permissible or not? (like between LTS----RIBS)

4) yes, i am getting negative factor loading for some paths. As they are the standardized regression score so is their any harm in having negative but significant score? So far i understand the (single headed arrow) factor loading are showing the strength of effect between the variables that is how well one variable can predict the other variable.

5) In my all CFA the P value of chi square is less than 0.05 so cant i claim the fitness of my model ??? as its representing that my model is significantly different from ideal saturated model.

Interesting question. Following the discussion.

Dear Dariusz,

There are two main problems with a pro-ecological new economy, and You know them better than me - first, how to keep economy growing (as GDP), and the second - not to have bad social consequences for population. There are people (and researchers), who believe that economic development can be lower, and that in many countries it is enough with GDP rise, but, having in mind the rise of inequalities socially, and the marginalization processes even in the West - how to cope with everything? How to have balanced and reasonable not polluting economy, at the same time not devastating socially? Am I right, Dariusz?

It depends which social science subject, and which technical degree is.

Dear Sir,

Dear Anamitra Roy your point is very valid that we only teach the students theories but we do not teach them what to link, where to link and how to link their attained knowledge to situations of real life. Therefore the knowledge is just another addition in the basket nothing more. simply the knowledge is gradually confining to learning and not practicing, hence applied domain is zero. Good answer Anamitra Roy

As a general coverage of this kind of analysis, I recommend Graneheim, Lindgren, and Lundman (2017). The authors are nurses, but the points are useful regardless of field.

Some journals specify a strict format, but most just give the desired length. Unless a format is provided, tell the goal of the study, a very brief description of the methods, some of the most important findings, and a hint of something from the discussion, such as recommendations provided by the authors. Do this in a way that fits the length goal specified by the journal.

Review your collected data again and check for similarities, if any, you may reduce it to fifty or bellow.

I agree with Pablo Delatorre that such a high value would be very unusual in the social sciences. So, I would start by examining your correlation matrix to see if one or more of your independent variables is highly correlated with the dependent variables. You could also look at the descriptive statistics for your variables to make sure that the mean values make sense.

I agree with Matteo Nioi

Hi Yves,

In a logical sequence, researcher first develops propositions to explore the study phenomenon which do not have prior empirical evidences. In a proposition it is unclear about the nature of causal relationship between two variables or concepts. Hypothesis takes place after proposition, which is a testable statement about the theoretical relationship between two measurable variables. It indicates nature of relationships, sometimes direction of relationships concerning target variable. Now the question is - do we need both propositions and hypotheses in a study? Prof. David L Morgan answered this issues. In a quantitative research, hypotheses formulation is suffice provided that the study phenomenon is not out of the blue. If so, a qualitative investigation is necessary to formulate the proposition. Thanks

An interesting paper on this topic by Ajnesh Prasad:

He points out how the populist leaders convert extraordinary challenging situations to their advantage by causally attributing these situations to their political opponents and then use this attribution to go to a higher level of authoritarianism.

Although the cost of raw material in a brewery does not represent the main source of expenditure, studies that seek to reduce the amount of raw material (water, malt, hops and yeast) are important. If we look at hops, for example, the reduction in the amount of hops used in breweries directly affects environmental issues. Obviously without losing the quality of the beer.

Many theorists invoke a third (or higher) order cybernetics and do say in a variety of ways. Of this possibility, although it may be done, von Foerster states, “It would not create anything new, because by ascending into ‘second-order’, as Aristotle would say, one has stepped into the circle that closes upon itself. One has stepped into the domain of concepts that apply to themselves” (von Foerster, 2003, p. 301).

it depends,however i would suggest you include variables that have a track record (top journals) combined with your new innovations if any.

Interesting question Henrik. The trouble is that the term 'post-modernism', when used by people who are neither philosophers nor sociologists, has become an empty term used to deride critical social science. It reminds me a little bit of the way that the term 'Marxist' is now used by the American Centre-Right media to designate any politician with a strong redistributive platform - including people like Corbyn and Sanders, whose policies in no way propose to dismantle the Capitalist economy.

In a similar way, people like Jordan Peterson use "post-modernism" as a slur. Peterson's online lectures on the "damages" of postmodern academia clearly show that he does not really understand what the concept really means. He just throws Marxism, cultural Marxism, critical theory, structuralism, post-structuralism, and postmodernism, into the same bag.

I haven't read Bloom and I didn't quite understand in your previous post what he defines as post-modernism. I suppose that most detractors of so-called post-modernism object to one or more of the following broad approaches in social science (all of which have at best a loose connection with actual postmodernist philosophy):

1. The notion that contemporary societies are fundamentally shaped by, and continuously reproduce, dynamics of domination, exploitation and repression. Language is an important vehicle for this (see below).

2. The idea that people's behaviours, preferences and notions of what is True largely derive from deeply rooted narratives and linguistic structures that (mostly) unconsciously shape people's minds. These narratives and other linguistic structures are socially constructed - i.e. they do not reflect some fundamental truth of 'human nature'.

3. The idea that racism and other malevolent forms can inhere not just in individuals' consciousnesses, but also in institutional structures and collective representations that are ostensibly value-neutral.

4. Methodologically, the belief that knowledge about society is found through qualitative forms of social analysis, like for example discourse and narrative analysis, grounded theory, ethnography, etc. Social analysis relying on logical-positivism and mathematical inductivism are viewed with suspicion.

Now the funny thing is that Most/all of these elements existed in social science decades before postmodernism as a social theoretical movement came to the stage. I also suspect that real postmodernist thinkers would probably object to the first element in the above list, since postmodernism is at heart an approach to knowledge that questions any inherent connection between belief systems and the world as is. Be that as it may, the point I'd make here is that the "Leftist takeover" of some social science has little to do with the (mostly imagined) popularity of "post-modernism". Many social scientists are Left Wing not because they discovered postmodernism but for a variety of reasons.

LIkewise, I would question whether your colleagues in social psychology and Business studies manifest a "post-modernism"-inspired Lefty-ism. As a discipline social psychology remains firmly moored to logical-positivism and statistical inductivism. And similarly, I don't see how your Business studies colleagues could be Left-Wing. There's some good research on business school curricula and teaching that actually shows the opposite. Perhaps you meant to say that your colleagues are Left wing and/or influenced by postmodernism in a purely private capacity? This is definitely the case in economics - the discipline in and of itself is criticized by sociologists for being methodologically uncritical and right-wing; yet the majority of American Economists in the US are actually on the Left side of the political spectrum. See for example:

So I guess one would need to understand what you are concerned about more precisely.

- Is it the feeling that most social scientists (or specific disciplines therein) are politically Left-Wing?

- Is it the feeling that most social scientists are specifically 'postmodernist' Lefties?

- Is it the feeling that social sciences DISCIPLINES tend to reflect/defend Left-wing views of the world?

- Is it the feeling that social science DISCIPLINES tend to reflect so-called POSTMODERNIST epistemology?

More generally, methodological and epistemological pluralism is generally a good think, so to the extent that there is a "takeover" as you say, that's probably bad. That said, from what I see in sociology, which perhaps is the most "non conformist" discipline in the social sciences, the "take over" by "postmodernism" is far from reality. The top journals in the discipline mostly favour articles employing standard statistical methods. The arguments in such studies do not usually take serious account of narratives, hermeneutics and historicity - all of which would be amply found in so-called postmodernist research. What IS true, however, is that the vast majority of sociologists have Left-wing political views. And I'd guess that most research does seem to align itself with Left-wing concerns (e.g. women's rights, equality, racism research, migrant issues, etc). I'm not sure what the consequences are of this on the general state of the discipline. The damages I've seen have to do with the harshness of debates taking place between more radical social thinkers and their less radical (though still largely left-wing) colleagues. Perhaps the answer to your question is that politics and the media in most countries already give disproportionate space to Centre-Right and Right-wing thinking, without ever allowing serious discussion of more genuinely left-wing stances. Hence, the Left positioning of social sciences is kind of a corrective.

I have used both of them for interviews and presentation, to the extent of online communication both are the same but when u are giving presentation u can easily share ur screen with your fellow members while doing your presentation. But overall zoom is very congenial and more friendly for interview or for communication with your colleagues

ROLE OF SEM IN THEORY TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT

Dear Marco Balducci

Literature reviews are conducted for a variety of purposes. As a PhD student, I found them very informative when I attempt to comprehend a theoretical background for subsequent research; or understanding a phenomenon related to a topic of interest. I found systematic literature reviews more relevant as they systematically categorise previous studies, in terms of research methods, theoretical frameworks as well as pointing out potential research directions.

There are three terms that are worth understanding: SCI, SCIE, and SSCI. All three are databases of academic journals maintained in the Web of Science Master Journal List operated by Clarivate Analytics.

SCI: Science Citation Index – SCI is a multidisciplinary index that covers 8,500+ “notable and significant” journals across 150+ disciplines, from 1900 to the present. These journals are often considered as the world’s leading journals in science and technology, because of their level of influence and broad circulation.

SCIE: Science Citation Index Expanded – SCIE includes a slightly broader scope of journals than SCI, with inclusion of emerging and regional journals. Some tend to view inclusion in the SCI database as more prestigious than those in SCIE only, but this is subject to debate.

SSCI: Social Sciences Citation Index – SSCI is a multidisciplinary index that covers 3400+ journals across 58 social science disciplines, from 1900 to present. Similar to SCI, these journals are generally considered the most “prestigious and/or influential” in their respective fields.

Hope this helps! Best wishes for a smooth and successful publication journey.

factorial analysis

I totally agree with Itishree Padhi

Good Answer Arvind Singh

First of all, there are two different questions to look at. The first is the value and status of the eco-system and the second is the value and the quantity of the service. By focussing on eco-system services and not the capital we tend to miss important aspects. The first is the value of the natural capital. Capital is something which is used in production but not used up. Built capital (like houses) are valued at "market value" that is what someone is prepared to pay for them, rather than their replacement cost, which must form some baseline. The next value and quantity is that of "roof over head" or apartments. Again, unless you have controlled rents (Germany) you have the valuation of what people are prepared to pay. So the quantification is the number of apartments and with number of bedrooms, total potential housing people/year.

Value is tricky. If I have a home I will not want to respond to a "flats to rent" sign. But if homeless and with money I might. Homeless without money I won't.

Now. let us assume that we want our population to have a service. What natural capital is needed to provide that service? Now you have a dimension. What natural capital do we have? Now you have a gap to work with. Do we have the capital and are still not providing the service? Now you have a production gap.

But of course, the difficult thing is what service?

There IS one measure though of ecosystems - maturity. See Odum et al. Easy to measure, mature eco-systems represent capital that can be used to provide services. Mature eco-systems have high mass, absorb sunlight, control rain, provide biodiversity etc etc.

So that brings me to answer that 1) measure the ecological maturity. 2) Dimension the natural capital needed by the geographical region the capital shall serve. 3) identify the services remembering that you need to extract the services without degrading maturity. Clever people(indigenous) increase maturity AND extract services at the same time. Read Odum if you haven't already.

I have just browsed

Algharabat, R., Rana, N. P., Alalwan, A. A., Baabdullah, A., & Gupta, A. (2020). Investigating the antecedents of customer brand engagement and consumer-based brand equity in social media. Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, 53.

my point:

The authors study how brands can generate consumer brand engagement that affects brand equity whereas the should rather study how brand offers or brand other activities inspire consumers-and-other-stakeholders transformation and empowerment for rest of their life.

There is a lot of research on how brands can generate consumer engagement and almost no research on how brands transform and empower consumers for the rest of their life. The last work of Banksy about eclipse of the liking-based heroes belongs to the latter group as to the field of art. The Instagram initiative of like- button removal is the practical action of this kind.

I agree with Patrizia Nanz

Anamika Sinha I agree with Andreas Kopf regarding misperceptions about the quality of a study based on R-square. What more important is that how do we understand and interpret R-square and other output of a statistical analysis.

Secondly, 23% explanation of the total variance (i.e., R-square or Coefficient of the determination) is not at all small but just below Large (i.e., Large is 0.2592 and above), according to Cohen (1988). Accordingly Small is 0.0196, and Medium is 0.1304. Consult the references given below please. Regards

There could be two scenarios. First, the journal could be a predatory journal with bogus impact factor and bogus indexed information. Second, the journals may actually be listed in WOS, but has not been assigned any impact factor yet. There are several journals that have not received an impact factor because they may not have been indexed in WOS for long.

To check for the first issue, I suggest you look up the publisher. If the publisher is legitimate like Wiley, Elsevier, Sage, Taylor and Francis, Cambridge, Oxford, MIT press; then the journal might not have received any JCR report yet. You may also want to check Beall's predatory journal list.

To check for the second scenario, if you have an EndNote account you can login and enter the section named "Manuscript Match". You can choose some of the similar articles published in that journal and develop a title or abstract just to check of if the journal appears as one of the potential match. I hope this might uncover the mystery of this particular journal.

Can a school discussion club run on social media portals be an active didactic tool that develop critical thinking in students?

Yes, I totally agree to this concept. First of all, it should be monitored by teachers and school authorities prohibiting negative and offset remarks.

The threads of conversation and relevant answers to questions by students will boost the morale of students. The intrinsic motivation of students will accentuate while seeing their answers being READ, RECOMMENDED and LIKED. The students will opt for research and give valuable and deep insight to questions enhancing critical and collaboration skills. These two skills are termed as 21st Century Skills.

Teachers can take the social media discussion tool for discussion in classrooms and also lead students to Media Conference thereby developing leadership skills in them.

Students will be aware of the society problems and feel closer to universal problems which they are part of.

You may look into journals covered by Emerald regarding your concern.

You Tube is not a bad choice. Khan Academy built up a good platform there. Open spaces can make no harm. It is always better to share than to create closed paradises

High working age group with human capital is always beneficial.

The question has gotten two opposing answers, to which I see both points. I must however agree more with Lusine. I'm no expert in this, but I have background in both main fields.

Humans are unpredictable and complex, but not impossible to understand. The complexity is of a kind that regular hard science can't handle without diving into specifics, easily losing the wider picture.

While the hard sciences are very good at finding specific answers to natural phenomena, sometimes they forget the wider picture of things that may affect these answers. Social sciences and Humanities are better at seeing the wider picture of things, but often struggle to give direct answers, as there are many factors affecting each other and the results that contribute to the answers.

Hard data are worthless on their own if there isn't a context of other data and knowledge to put them into, and social sciences and humanities can help with that kind of analysis.

Depth psychology is relevant, in my experience.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

In the context of the above discussion, I propose to add to our considerations the following important issue:

Scientific conferences make it possible to make friends with other scientists and researchers. During the conference there are opportunities to conduct discussions and debates on interesting topics. Thanks to this, it is possible to undertake scientific cooperation and create international research teams and projects.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

- What do you think about this topic?

- What is your opinion on this topic?

Please reply.

I invite you to discussion and scientific cooperation.

Thank you very much.

Best wishes.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations regarding the following issues:

Collaborative publication of scientific papers as a presentation of research results carried out by teams of researchers and scientists.

Joint publishing has many positive aspects. Publishing in co-authorship is often the result of the presentation of research results from team-led scientific research, is the result of research and scientific projects conducted by teams of researchers and scientists, and increasingly international research teams. There are many positive attributes associated with this. In a scientific publication written by a team of authors, joint conclusions from conducted research may be presented, with which all researchers, scientists of a given research team agree, and there may also be polemics and discussions that will significantly enrich the substantive values ??of a given scientific publication. In addition, if individual researchers, scientists of a specific international research team represent various countries and scientific environments, possibly also various scientific disciplines, then a specific jointly conducted research project obtains the attributes of interdisciplinarity, internationalization, etc. The possibilities of presenting multi-author texts and scientific papers, including scientific publications that were created to present the results of research carried out by international, interdisciplinary teams of researchers and scientists.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

What is your opinion on this topic?

Please reply.

I invite you to discussion and scientific cooperation.

Thank you very much.

Best wishes.

Hello Fizza Qureshi. Think about the distinction between partial and semi-partial (aka., part) correlations. What happens if you compute semi-partial correlations rather than partial correlations? My guess is the results will be consistent with what you're seeing in your regression results. HTH.

PS- To get semi-partial correlations with SPSS (which you listed as a topic), use the ZPP option on the STATISTICS sub-command of the REGRESSION command. ZPP is short for zero-order, partial & part correlations.

RE: «Isn't it better to speak & write in terms of "conditions-for" instead of 'causes'?»

Wouldn't the conditions have to be casual conditions? Sure, causal explanation is pragmatic or interest-relative, and we focus on a causal factor that's relevant to us. So to light a match I think of causing it to light by striking it, our usual practice. I suppose in a certain kind of anaerobic environment, a more salient action might be injecting oxygen at the moment and point of striking.

Just start simple with equal weights , but it can be become quite sophisticated

these two volumes will help on the Bayes estimation:

Criminologists are increasingly theorizing about relationships between life-course occurrences and patterns of criminal behavior. The life-events calendar method features interviewing conditions that respondents find more pleasurable than those typical of traditional survey administrations. It also provides a way to collect retrospective longitudinal data that is cheaper than using traditional panel designs and potentially more practical when dealing with unstable respondents that would be difficult to re-contact. The life-events calendar method provides data that are rarely worse and typically more comprehensive than data derived from traditional surveys, making it a viable option for criminologists who conduct survey research. The life-events calendar method encourages accuracy in self-reporting by providing respondents with visual and verbal cues that facilitate recall, utilizing reference points to improve precision and establish temporal ordering, and facilitating respondent-researcher interaction. The life-events calendar method is therefore ideal for studying offenders and others who feature memory problems, cognitive difficulties, co-occurring risk factors, and instability in their lives.

First off, I suggest that you avoid predatory journals/publishers. Secondly, if your research had roots in psychology although it’s conducted in an education setting, I would recommend the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology which is an A-rated journal in psychology.

See the following example:

The current evaluation of the Impact Factor of the Journal based on the number of times was cited by the number of articles that are frequently cited by many users. Moreover, it is focused on Citation Reports, Citation Impact, and h-index, Citescore, Yearly Impact Factor, Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) and SCImago Journal Rank, etc. With regard to the popularity and reputation comparison between Natural Science Journal and Social Science Journals is that the number of users mostly cited the particular paper per day.

My favorite ones are comparison, case studies, and interviews.
