Grace Hui Chin Lin – Online Submission, 2024
The primary goal of this project is to assess the students' better communication attainment after applying a series of five interactive strategies to an experiment group of subjects. This class will be compared with a control group of other participants, and in their class, the interactive approaches are not emphasized and practiced openly. The…

Sungjin Nam – ProQuest LLC, 2020
This dissertation presents various machine learning applications for predicting different cognitive states of students while they are using a vocabulary tutoring system, DSCoVAR. We conduct four studies, each of which includes a comprehensive analysis of behavioral and linguistic data and provides data-driven evidence for designing personalized…

Perugini, Marco; Richetin, Juliette; Zogmaister, Cristina – Learning and Motivation, 2012
In Evaluative Conditioning (EC) studies, novel Conditioned Stimuli (CSs) are usually selected so to be neutral. However, in real life, because of the tendency of humans to evaluate novel stimuli automatically, novel CSs are very often initially valenced. From the literature little is known on whether EC can be successful under these conditions. In…

Adachi, Kohei – Psychometrika, 2011
Multivariate stimulus-response designs can be described by a three-way array of stimuli by responses by individuals. Its underlying structure can be represented by a network based on the Tucker2 component model in which stimulus components are connected with response components by means of the links that differ between individuals. For each…

Sturm, Heike; Sturm, Gerd; Bogner, Franz X. – World Journal of Education, 2011
Bird flight and lift in general is a complex subject which is also difficult to teach in a classroom. In order to support the teaching of this curriculum-based subject, an interactive exhibit to demonstrate aerodynamic aspects of objects has been developed, implemented and evaluated with 262 middle school students. The empirical evaluation…

Hughes, Stephanie; Gabel, Rodney; Irani, Farzan; Schlagheck, Adam – Journal of Fluency Disorders, 2010
Semantic differential instruments are often used to assess fluent speakers' attitudes toward people who stutter (PWS). Such instruments are prone to response bias and often lack the power to explain respondents' general impressions of PWS. To address these concerns 149 fluent university students completed an open-ended questionnaire in which they…

La Heij, Wido; Starreveld, Peter A.; Kuipers, Jan-Rouke – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2007
In the last two decades, La Heij and colleagues have presented accounts of a number of context effects in Stroop-like word-production tasks. Roelofs (2007 this issue) criticises various aspects of our proposals, ranging from the number of processing stages assumed to details of simulation results. In this reply we first argue that we do not…

Reich, Warren A.; Rubin, Rachel M. – AIDS Education and Prevention, 2007
Twenty-five HIV-negative late adolescents (13 women and 12 men) who had lost a parent to AIDS generated vignettes in which the characters were deciding whether to use a condom (condom scripts). Two clinically trained judges rated the interpersonal tone of the condom scripts on 17 semantic differential scales. Three other clinically trained raters…

Murakami, Takashi; Kroonenberg, Pieter M. – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2003
Demonstrated how individual differences in semantic differential data can be modeled and assessed using three-mode models by studying the characterization of Chopin's "Preludes" by 38 Japanese college students. (SLD)

Lawson, Edwin D.; Metivier, Barbara L. – 1980
Seven computer programs were written for use with the semantic differential and two additional programs were modified or expanded. The nine programs can compute the following: means, standard deviations, and standard errors on nine subscales and on evaluation, potency, and activity factors (EPA); Osgood D values for all concepts; correlations…

Maguire, Thomas O. – American Educational Research Journal, 1973
In the present paper, the selection of scales and concepts and the format for administration are discussed in terms of an underlying linear model. (Editor)

Franks, David D.; Marolla, Joseph – Sociometry, 1976
A theoretical and operational rationale is presented for the development of multidimensional measures of self-esteem. Self-esteem is conceptualized as a function of two processes reflected appraisals of significant others in one's social environment in the form of social approval, and the individual's feelings of efficacy and competence derived…

Butzow, John W.; Williams, Clarence M. – Science Education, 1977
Utilizes a factor analyst technique on the scores of college freshmen responding to a form of Osgood's semantic differential instrument. A three-dimensional vectorial model is constructed to explain involvement in science. (CP)

Lawson, Edwin D.; And Others – 1984
The original nine programs for semantic differential analysis have been condensed into three programs which have been further refined and augmented. They yield: (1) means, standard deviations, and standard errors for each subscale on each concept; (2) Evaluation, Potency, and Activity (EPA) means, standard deviations, and standard errors; (3)…

Lawson, E. D. – 1978
Osgood, Suci, and Tannenbaum in their work with the semantic differential developed a technique with which data from an individual could be represented by a three-dimensional model. The model is derived from distance scores based upon profile ratings of concepts such as mother or self, on subscales such as kind-cruel, weak-strong, etc. Osgood…
