Download or read book Emotion Measurement written by Herbert L. Meiselman and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page 1050 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotion Measurement, Second Edition highlights key elements of emotions that should be considered in the measurement of emotions in both academic and commercial environments. This edition begins with an updated review of basic studies of emotion, including the theory, physiology, and psychology of emotions, as these are the foundational studies which food scientists as well as product developers and marketing professionals need to be aware of. The second section highlights methods for studying emotions, and reviews the different approaches to emotion measurement: questionnaire self-report, behavioral, and physiological. This section explores the merits of intrinsic versus extrinsic measures of emotion. Some new measurement approaches have emerged since the first edition of this book. The book then presents practical applications, with chapters on emotion research in food and beverage, as well as in a range of products and clinical settings. The experience in testing product emotions has increased since the first edition when product emotion research was newer. Finally, Emotion Measurement, Second Edition provides coverage of cross-cultural research on emotions. This is critical because much of the newer commercial research is aimed at markets around the world, requiring methods that work in many cultures. And the universality of emotions has been a topic of research for decades. Taking both an academic and applied approach, Emotion Measurement, Second Edition will be an invaluable reference for those conducting basic academic research on emotions and for sensory and consumer scientists, and the product developers and marketing professionals they work alongside. - Reviews both the academic and the applied strands of emotion measurement research - Focuses on cross-cultural studies of emotions, which is currently lacking from most of the literature in the field - Highlights methods for studying emotions in both basic and applied studies

This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inaugural issue is devoted to exploring measurement, research design, and statistics issues in six subdisciplines of exercise and sport science. Originally presented at the Eighth Measurement and Evaluation Symposium, all papers in this issue reflect the work of many renowned measurement specialists and content experts in their respective fields. The articles discuss the following topics: * standards of assessment quality for physical educators and the problem of providing adequate assessment without adequate resources; * the importance of properly conceptualizing and defining appropriate research questions as the "source and solution" for measurement and design issues in reference to motor learning/control and sport and exercise psychology; * the study of individuals -- single-subject and other small-sample designs -- in contrast to the more traditional study of groups; and * the importance of computing and reporting statistical power in research.

Download or read book More Statistical and Methodological Myths and Urban Legends written by Charles E. Lance and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date review of commonly undertaken methodological and statistical practices that are based partially in sound scientific rationale and partially in unfounded lore. Some examples of these “methodological urban legends” are characterized by manuscript critiques such as: (a) “your self-report measures suffer from common method bias”; (b) “your item-to-subject ratios are too low”; (c) “you can’t generalize these findings to the real world”; or (d) “your effect sizes are too low.” What do these critiques mean, and what is their historical basis? More Statistical and Methodological Myths and Urban Legends catalogs several of these quirky practices and outlines proper research techniques. Topics covered include sample size requirements, missing data bias in correlation matrices, negative wording in survey research, and much more.

This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows why and how the concepts, control and happenstance, are crucial to methodology and statistics, respectively. Control, as a means to reduce ambiguity, fulfills its function because of inductive rules. Statistical null hypothesis renders it possible to use test of statistical significance to rule out happenstance as explanation of research result. This book shows why and how the concepts, control and happenstance, are crucial to methodology and statistics, respectively. Control, as a means to reduce ambiguity, fulfills its function because of inductive rules. Statistical null hypothesis renders it possible to use tests of statistical significance to rule out happenstance as an explanation for research results. Basic concepts of descriptive statistics are introduced in the context of data collection, tabulation, derivation, and standardization. Issues related to psychometric measurement, correlation and regression are thereby explained as well. Random sampling distribution renders possible inferential statistics (viz., confidence interval, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing and goodness-of-fit). The book shows how standardizing random sampling distribution gives rise to parametric tests. In short, this book shows that research impartiality is possible despite the belief in (as well as instances of) “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
