Peer reviewedWeiss, David J., Ed. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1987
Issues concerning equating test scores are discussed in an introduction, four papers, and two commentaries. Equating methods research, sampling errors, linear equating, population differences, sources of equating errors, and a circular equating paradigm are considered. (SLD)
Descriptors: Equated Scores, Latent Trait Theory, Maximum Likelihood Statistics, Statistical Analysis
Peer reviewedSechrest, Lee, Ed. – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1993
Two chapters of this issue consider critical multiplism as a research strategy with links to meta analysis and generalizability theory. The unifying perspective it can provide for quantitative and qualitative evaluation is discussed. The third chapter explores meta analysis as a way to improve causal inferences in nonexperimental data. (SLD)
Descriptors: Causal Models, Evaluation Methods, Generalizability Theory, Inferences
Peer reviewedDavison, Mark L., Ed.; Jones, Lawrence E., Ed. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1983
This special issues describes multidimensional scaling (MDS), with emphasis on proximity and preference models. An introduction and six papers review statistical developments in MDS study design and scrutinize MDS research in four areas of application (consumer, social, cognitive, and vocational psychology). (SLD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Psychology, Mathematical Models, Monte Carlo Methods, Multidimensional Scaling
Peer reviewedReichardt, Charles S., Ed.; Rallis, Sharon F., Ed. – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1994
The eight articles of this issue examine the nature of differences that arise between qualitative and quantitative researchers in program evaluation in terms of goals and epistemologies. The origins of these differences and their consequences are explored. Authors represent both perspectives but do not defend their ideological turfs. (SLD)
Descriptors: Conflict, Epistemology, Evaluation Methods, Ideology
Peer reviewedConrad, Kendon J., Ed. – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1994
The 9 articles of this theme issue stem from a project on alcohol and drug abuse that involved 14 projects, 10 of which began with randomized clinical trials. These papers describe implementation problems associated with experimentation in field research and the focus on ensuring internal validity. (SLD)
Descriptors: Alcohol Abuse, Drug Abuse, Evaluation Methods, Experiments
