Behavioral and social sciences randomized controlled trials (BSSTs) have a significant role in life sciences. Choosing an appropriate control or comparator group for BSSTs is critical, to provide true intervention effects. The objective of this study was to determine the types of control groups used in BSSTs, and the rationale provided to justify…

Knowledge of prerequisite dependencies is crucial to several aspects of learning, from the organization of learning content to the selection of personalized remediation or enrichment for each learner. As the amount of content is scaled up, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to manually specify all of the prerequisites among the different…

Pool, Robert – National Academies Press, 2013
On July 26, 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) with the purpose of soliciting comments on how current regulations for protecting research participants could be modernized and revised. The rationale for revising the regulations was as follows: this ANPRM seeks comment on…

Campbell, Todd C. – 1994
Correlation is one of the most widely used analytic procedures in the behavioral sciences. The bivariate correlation is implicit in all classical analyses ranging from t-tests to canonical correlation analysis. The most common correlation coefficient used in statistics is the Pearson product-moment coefficient of correlation, which is represented…

LeCluyse, Karen – 1990
The use of multivariate statistics in behavioral research is investigated, with emphasis on the reasons why multivariate methods can be so important. The concepts of testwise and experimentwise error are explained, and it is noted that multivariate methods can be used to control the inflation of experimentwise Type I error. It is also noted that…

Using the Functional Prerequisites to Communication Rules as a Structure for Rule-Behavior Research.
Fairhurst, Gail Theus – 1980
This paper points out that the available research on communication rules tends to be descriptive (or humanistic) in nature and characterized by a conspicuous absence of prediction along with experimental methods and parametric interpretations of social behavior. The paper first argues that current scientific methodology is consistent with a…

Marshall, O. W.; Tomcala, Maryjane – 1981
The response of patients with stress problems to one of five music genres during biofeedback training is measured. Fifty male and female patients between the ages of 15 and 25 who were receiving psychotherapy, self-help counseling, and physical fitness training as well as biofeedback training comprised the sample. Using a Biofeedback Systems…

Graber, Doris A. – 1982
How people select and process current events and political information through the media is studied. Throughout 1976, 21 adults were tested for recall of selected news stories; also, participants recorded daily three news stories that had come to their attention. Results indicated that participants totally ignored 67 percent of newspaper stories.…

Hawkins, Robert P. – 1974
This report stresses the need for behavioral analysts to become more responsible in "setting" behavioral objectives in educational and therapeutic settings. Traditionally, behavior analysis concentrated on how behavior is learned and how it can be taught, but not on which behaviors should be learned. Four steps are outlined in the analysis…

Kahn, Peter H., Jr. – 1995
This paper examines the biophilia hypothesis put forth by E. O. Wilson, which asserts the existence of a fundamental, genetically-based human need and propensity to affiliate with other living organisms and lifelike processes. It reviews research by Wilson and others that supports the biophilia hypothesis, and examines some of the issues and…

Peer reviewedRowley, Glenn L. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1989
The focus on the individual that is possible in analyzing behavioral data provides the possibility of investigating sequencing effects. Autocorrelation--as illustrated with classroom data from a previous study--can cause standard procedures to underestimate the magnitude of measurement error. Recommendations are made to reduce the effects of…

Stillman, JeriJayne W.; Hensley, Wayne E. – 1980
Six waitresses in a restaurant of a large midwestern city agreed to participate in a study of the nonverbal effects of ornamentation. The hypothesis was that diners would leave larger tips for a waitress who wore a flower in her hair than for the same waitress without a flower. During the four nights that data were collected, the waitresses…

Subliminal stimulation is defined as that which is perceived by an individual below the threshold of awareness or cognizance. This article traces the history of research in subliminal stimulation to illustrate that under certain circumstances and conditions, this behavioral phenomenon does occur. Although subliminal stimuli do affect human…

The first objective of a small exploratory study was to explore the speculation that adults do not resist change, but what they do resist are expected losses that may arise in association with the change. The second objective was to acquire some preliminary findings about the types of losses that adults may expect when facing change. Thirty…
