Steffen Erickson – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2024
Background: Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a powerful and broadly utilized statistical framework. Researchers employ these models to dissect relationships into direct, indirect, and total effects (Bollen, 1989). These models unpack the "black box" issues within cause-and-effect studies by examining the underlying theoretical…

Xin Guo; Qiang Fu – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
Grouped and right-censored (GRC) counts have been used in a wide range of attitudinal and behavioural surveys yet they cannot be readily analyzed or assessed by conventional statistical models. This study develops a unified regression framework for the design and optimality of GRC counts in surveys. To process infinitely many grouping schemes for…

Rosanna Cole – Sociological Methods & Research, 2024
The use of inter-rater reliability (IRR) methods may provide an opportunity to improve the transparency and consistency of qualitative case study data analysis in terms of the rigor of how codes and constructs have been developed from the raw data. Few articles on qualitative research methods in the literature conduct IRR assessments or neglect to…

Nicolas Pichot; Boris Forthmann; Eric Bonetto; Thomas Arciszewski; Nathalie Bonnardel; Sara Jaubert; Jean B. Pavani – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
The term "creative" is commonly used in everyday language and in academic discourse to discuss the nature of artistic and innovative productions. This usage inherently implies the existence of a variable of creativity that allows different creative works to be compared. The standard definition of creativity asserts that a production must…

Suyoung Kim; Sooyong Lee; Jiwon Kim; Tiffany A. Whittaker – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
This study aims to address a gap in the social and behavioral sciences literature concerning interaction effects between latent factors in multiple-group analysis. By comparing two approaches for estimating latent interactions within multiple-group analysis frameworks using simulation studies and empirical data, we assess their relative merits.…

Rebecca Walcott; Isabelle Cohen; Denise Ferris – Evaluation Review, 2024
When and how to survey potential respondents is often determined by budgetary and external constraints, but choice of survey modality may have enormous implications for data quality. Different survey modalities may be differentially susceptible to measurement error attributable to interviewer assignment, known as interviewer effects. In this…

Avi Feller; Maia C. Connors; Christina Weiland; John Q. Easton; Stacy B. Ehrlich; John Francis; Sarah E. Kabourek; Diana Leyva; Anna Shapiro; Gloria Yeomans-Maldonado – Grantee Submission, 2024
One part of COVID-19's staggering impact on education has been to suspend or fundamentally alter ongoing education research projects. This article addresses how to analyze the simple but fundamental example of a multi-cohort study in which student assessment data for the final cohort are missing because schools were closed, learning was virtual,…

Adrian Adams; Lauren Barth-Cohen – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
In undergraduate research settings, students are likely to encounter anomalous data, that is, data that do not meet their expectations. Most of the research that directly or indirectly captures the role of anomalous data in research settings uses post-hoc reflective interviews or surveys. These data collection approaches focus on recall of past…
