Bergman, Mindy E.; Payne, Stephanie C.; Boswell, Wendy R. – Psychological Bulletin, 2012
Hom, Mitchell, Lee, and Griffeth (2012) presented an extensive review of employee turnover research, reconceptualized the turnover criterion to include multiple destinations, and proposed to expand the predictor domain. They illuminated the multiple destinations employees pursue following turnover. By crossing desire to remain and volitional…

Engelmann, Siegfried – Australasian Journal of Special Education, 2008
One goal of basic research in education is to identify the variables of effective instruction. As this pursuit has been conceived, however, its theoretical problems make it unlikely that the effort will provide a clear picture of instructional variables, their interactions, or the kind of teacher training that is implied by instructional variables.

Fleming, James S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1981
The perfunctory use of factor scores in conjunction with regression analysis is inappropriate for many purposes. It is suggested that factoring methods are most suitable for independent variable sets when some consideration has been given to the nature of the domain, which is implied by the predictors. (Author/BW)

Egan, Ellen C.; And Others – Nursing Outlook, 1992
Nursing intervention studies are much needed. However, careful delineation of independent variables and protocols is necessary to ensure the validity of results. (SK)

Hanson, Sandra L.; Tuch, Steven A. – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1984
Notes the inconsistent findings that characterize research on marital instability and proposes several potential methodological sources of these inconsistencies. Presents an illustrative application to data from two recent national representative probability samples. (JAC)
Descriptors: Etiology, Marital Instability, Models, Predictor Variables

Colombo, John; Horowitz, Frances Degen – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, 1987
Research on perceptual and cognitive capacities of the newborn has revealed that state variables typically interfere with or override the neonate's attentional and stimulus processing tendencies. This finding argues for the power of early state variables as behavioral determinants and, further, that neonatal state measures might provide good…

Wilson, F. Robert; And Others – Phi Delta Kappan, 1981
The authors express their concerns about the research methodology and assumptions in Coker, Medley, and Soar's work on competency-based teacher education. (WD)

Armson, Joy; Kalinowski, Joseph – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1994
This paper reviews evidence that characteristics of the perceptually fluent speech of stutterers change as a function of a number of variables and that, because these variables are difficult to fully control, comparison of the characteristics of the perceptually fluent speech of stutterers and nonstutterers as a method of studying stuttering…

Branthwaite, Alan; Trueman, Mark – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1985
This paper presents two major criticisms of the construct validity investigation of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities conducted by Watkins and Wiebe (1980). The criticisms pertain to the nature of the data presented and the accuracy and appropriateness of the statistical procedures employed. (BS)

Hilgers, Thomas L. – Research in the Teaching of English, 1982
Until experimenters can achieve some measure of control over access to information associated with their writing stimuli and outcome measures, research in composition will have a difficult time providing meaningful information on the unique effects on writing of such things as training programs, ethnicity, previous education, and sex.

Scarr, Sandra – Human Development, 1995
Argues that Gottlieb rejects population sampling and statistical analyses of distributions as he proposes that his experimental brand of mechanistic science is the only legitimate approach to developmental research. Maintains that Gottlieb exaggerates developmental uncertainty, based on his own research with extreme environmental manipulations.…

Bryant, Peter – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Reiterates hypothesis that there are two routes from onset and rime awareness to reading: one indirect and one direct. Asserts that the evidence that Hulme et al. present against the hypothesis is not convincing, partly because the hypothesis predicts most of the Hulme et al. results and partly because of weaknesses in the design of Hulme et al.'s…

Peritz, B. C. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1992
Examines difficulties with citation analysis as it is used to study citation frequency, usually for the evaluation of scientists, publications, or institutions. Topics addressed include selection of a control set of papers, comparisons of different types of papers (e.g., methodological or theoretical), effects of independent variables, and use of…

McCall, Robert B.; Appelbaum, Mark I. – Developmental Psychology, 1991
Discusses procedures and considerations involved with secondary analyses of longitudinal databases. Procedures involve (1) formulating questions; (2) creating a feasibility matrix; (3) reformulating questions; (4) creating derived variables; (5) performing data reduction; (6) analyzing data; and (7) interpreting results. Problems associated with…

Gresham, Frank M. – School Psychology Review, 2009
The concept of treatment integrity cuts across a diversity of fields involved with providing treatments or interventions to individuals. In medical treatments, the concept of "treatment compliance" or "treatment adherence" is an important and problematic issue. In the field of nutrition, the concept of "dietary adherence" is important for…
