Reimers, Jennifer; Turner, Ronna C.; Tendeiro, Jorge N.; Lo, Wen-Juo; Keiffer, Elizabeth – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2023
Person-fit analyses are commonly used to detect aberrant responding in self-report data. Nonparametric person fit statistics do not require fitting a parametric test theory model and have performed well compared to other person-fit statistics. However, detection of aberrant responding has primarily focused on dominance response data, thus the…

Lin, Yi-Chun; Hsieh, Ya-Hui; Hou, Huei-Tse – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2015
The development of a usability evaluation method for educational systems or applications, called the self-report-based sequential analysis, is described herein. The method aims to extend the current practice by proposing self-report-based sequential analysis as a new usability method, which integrates the advantages of self-report in survey…

Heiby, Elaine M. – Psychological Assessment, 1995
This second article of the special section on chaos theory addresses implications of the definition of chaotic behavior for its measurement. The requirements to test the presence of chaotic relations among variables are in agreement with the conceptual and methodological hallmarks of behavioral assessment. (SLD)

Vollmer, Timothy R.; And Others – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1993
This study evaluated a method for assessing the behavioral function of severe self-injury in four adults with severe/profound mental retardation. Initial assessment included analyzing within-session trends and fluctuations in rates of self-injury by plotting the frequency within each minute of the session. (DB)

Howlin, P.; Clements, J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1995
This study attempted to evaluate patterns of behavioral change resulting from abuse in a school setting of 12 children with pervasive developmental disorders, primarily autism. Use of parental reports (with corroboration when possible) found consistent patterns in both the nature and timing of behavioral disturbances, which seemed to relate…

Rosenberg, Helane S.; And Others – Children's Theatre Review, 1983
Results demonstrate that the Inventory of Dramatic Behavior Adapted for Group Observation (IDBG) is a valid and useful instrument for assessing the dramatic behavior of elementary school children. (PD)

Heiby, Elaine M. – Psychological Assessment, 1995
This introduction to a special section provides the basic definitions and presents the measurement approaches and data analytic techniques that are collectively referred to as chaos theory. The conceptualization and assessment of unstable behavioral disorders can be strengthened by incorporating elements of chaos theory. (SLD)

Guy, Barbara; And Others – Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), 1993
This study examined whether teacher-implemented classroom measurement procedures of short duration are as reliable as methods used in research studies to determine behavior state (e.g., awake active, awake inactive, asleep, drowsed) of six students with profound mental disabilities. Results indicated that more frequent but briefer measurements…

Willett, Tom H. – 1984
Assuming that teacher effectiveness and nonverbal communication are interrelated, an analysis of nonverbal communication and teacher assessment of nonverbal action is appropriate. A review of the literature indicates that nonverbal behaviors may be examined by the impressionistic and the quantitative methods. Each of these methods generates…

Taylor, Ronald L.; Ivimey, John K. – Psychology in the Schools, 1982
Advanced special education students rated 23 of the domains of the Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABS). Results indicated that the most important considerations for determining method of measurement for ABS were: time necessary to obtain behavioral sample and severity of behavior. Suggests the domains of ABS be rearranged and redefined. (RC)

Pedersen, Frank A.; And Others – 1976
The Perception of Baby Temperament Scales (PBT) were used to elicit parental perceptions of infant temperament, with the results rated for internal consistency and congruence between parents. Data was obtained from 26 families, with both father and mother describing their first-born infants at five months of age. The PBT Scales deal with a range…

Jung, Steven M. – 1970
The present paper reports on results generated by an unconventional application of the testing paradigm. This application was made necessary by the nature of several goals of Project PLAN in the area of student personal and social behavior, self-planning skills for occupational and personal development, etc. Attainment of such goals is very…

Kazanas, H. C. – 1978
Recognizing the importance of a curriculum that facilitates the acquisition of desirable, affective work competencies (work attitudes, values, and habits) as well as specific job skills, a study was conducted to review and synthesize what is known about the social and psychological aspects of work and to identify specific affective work…
