四参数Logistic模型和传统模型对被试作答拟合能力的比较研究

针对测验中高能力被试答错容易试题的睡眠现象,可使用四参数Logistic模型分析数据。研究选取了来自心理测验和成就测验的实际数据,分别采用传统模型和四参数Logistic模型进行拟合,对不同模型的拟合指标及参数估计结果进行比较。结果表明,四参数Logistic模型能够提高拟合程度,增强估计结果的准确性,有效纠正高能力被试能力被低估的现象。建议在必要时使用四参数Logistic模型进行数据分析。     

Evaluation of the Informational Content,Readability and Comprehensibility of Online Health Information on Monogenic Diabetes

The purpose of this study was to assess the informational content, readability, suitability and comprehensibility of websites offering educational information about monogenic diabetes available to patients. The top 20 results from 15 queries in four search engines were screened. Content analysis was performed by two independent coders. Readability was determined using Flesch-Kincaid grade level (FKGL) and Simplified Measure of Goobledygook (SMOG). The Comprehensibility Assessment of Materials (SAM + CAM) scale was utilized to evaluate website suitability and comprehensibility. Only 2% (N = 29) of 1200 screened websites met inclusion criteria. Content analysis showed that 16 websites presented information on at least the most common forms of MODY (1, 2 and 3), four addressed the utility of genetic counseling, and none included support resources for patients. All websites exceeded the consensus readability level (6th grade) as assessed by FKGL (10.1 grade) and SMOG (12.8 ± 1.5 grades). Although the majority (N = 20) of websites had an overall “adequate” to “superior” quality score (SAM + CAM score > = 40%), more than one-third scored “not suitable” in categories of content, literacy demand, graphics, and learning motivation. The online educational resources for monogenic diabetes have a high readability level and require improvement in ease of use and comprehensibility for patients with diabetes.     

用于处理不努力作答的标准化残差系列方法和混合多层模型法的比较

文章采用模拟研究, 分别在混合多层模型假设满足和违背的情境下, 比较了混合多层模型方法与标准化残差系列方法在识别不努力作答和参数估计方面的表现。结果显示：(1)不存在不努力作答或其严重性低时, 各方法表现接近; (2)不努力作答严重性高时, 固定参数迭代标准化残差法普遍更优, 混合多层模型法仅在假设满足且两种作答反应时差异大的条件下表现较好。建议实际应用中优先选择固定参数迭代标准化残差法。

孤独感对人际目标追求的影响：目标实现可能性的作用

采用两个研究和内部元分析考察了孤独感对人际目标追求的影响以及目标实现可能性的作用。研究1采用问卷测量人际目标实现可能性以及特定一天中的孤独感和人际目标投入,发现孤独感与人际目标投入呈负相关,目标实现可能性调节了二者间的关系;研究2操纵人际联结体验,发现孤独组投入意愿最低,策略数更多,策略字数最少,目标实现可能性调节了人际联结体验和投入意愿的关系。研究表明,孤独感会降低人际目标投入,目标实现可能性调节了二者间的关系;孤独者不是缺乏人际投入策略,而是不愿意投入人际目标。     

情绪效价−空间动作隐喻联结对成人和儿童外语情绪词学习的影响

为探究情绪效价与空间动作的隐喻联结如何影响中国成人及学龄前和学龄初期儿童对外语情绪词的学习,要求被试在学习阶段根据情绪效价将新学习的实体外语词卡放在对应空间位置。测试阶段采用二选一迫选任务,记录新词学习的反应时和正确率。结果显示,无论是成人组还是儿童组被试,隐喻一致组在测试阶段中对所学外语词的再认反应时均快于隐喻不一致组和控制组。研究表明,成人和学龄前和学龄初期儿童均存在情绪效价–空间动作隐喻联结的心理表征,并且该联结可以影响成人及学龄前和学龄初期儿童外语情绪词学习效果。     

音乐节拍认知的研究评述

音乐节拍中的信息十分丰富,变化的方式也千差万别,因此节拍的加工是十分复杂的认知过程。国外神经认知领域对音乐节拍的研究从内容来看可归纳为:节拍违反的加工,节拍速度的加工,节拍类型的加工,以及节拍与节奏的区别等几个方面。目前关于音乐节拍的研究还处于初步探索阶段,未来的研究应明确时间间隔、速度变化、重音模式加工的神经基础,并就复杂节拍的加工,个体感受性差异等问题进一步展开研究。     

Effects of Material Emotional Valence on the Time Course of Massive Repetition Priming

Learning through repetition is a fundamental form and also an effective method of language learning critical for achieving proficient and automatic language use. Massive repetition priming as a common research paradigm taps into the dynamic processes involved in repetition learning. Research with this paradigm has so far used only emotionally neutral materials and ignored emotional factors, which seems inappropriate given the well-documented impact of emotion on cognitive processing. The present study used massive repetition priming to investigate whether the emotional valence of learning materials affects implicit language learning. Participants read a list of Chinese words and made speeded perceptual judgments about the spatial configuration of the two characters in a word. Each word was repeated 15 times in the whole learning session. There were three types of words, negative, positive, or neutral in their emotional valence, presented in separate blocks. Although similar levels of asymptotic performance were reached for different valence conditions showing comparable total effects of learning, learning of the positive words was found to be associated with fewer plateaus of shorter durations and to reach saturation earlier, compared with neutral and negative words. The results showed for the first time that the emotional valence of learning materials has significant effects on the time course of learning so that positive materials are learned faster and more efficiently, relative to negative and neutral materials. The study indicates the importance to explicitly consider the role of emotional factors in implicit language learning research.     

The impact of mental health court: A Sacramento case study

Mental health courts (MHCs) use a collaborative justice approach to provide a therapeutic alternative to the traditional justice process for defendants with mental illnesses directly relevant to their alleged criminal offenses. MHCs have proliferated in recent years, in light of early research reports documenting their successes. The aim of this paper is to provide further evaluation of the effects of MHCs by evaluating the impact of the Sacramento County MHC in California. We analyzed quantitative data and conducted interviews with stakeholders and MHC participants to understand how the MHC influenced individual participants' recidivism rates, mental health, and quality of life. Results from the quantitative data analysis indicate that defendants had a lower rate of recidivism after the MHC program than before it. Moreover, graduates were less likely to be rearrested and rehospitalized than non‐graduates. Qualitative analyses revealed several core themes regarding participants' views on facilitators and barriers related to the MHC's success. These findings provide further insights into the effectiveness of MHCs.
