Psychometric Properties Of The Group Process Questionnaire, Lucia Igou Eakins
Psychometric Properties Of The Group Process Questionnaire, Lucia Igou Eakins
Dissertations and Theses
The Group Process Questionnaire (GPQ), a 55-item rating scale, was developed by Richard Wollert in 1981 to assess perceptions of the frequency of processes occurring in self-help groups (SHGs). The GPQ was first employed by Wollert, Eakins, and Dixon (Note 1) as the primary data collection instrument in an ongoing investigation of urban SHGs. This investigation is one of a small number of empirical studies which have attempted to specify the range of SHG activities. Due to the relatively recent emergence of SHGs as topics of research, and the unique obstacles to research presented by the independent character of these …

A Validation Study Of The Family Environment Scale: Family Incongruence Score, Linda Joanne Neale
Dissertations and Theses
This study investigated the validity of the family incongruence score, a statistic which quantifies the discrepancies between family members' perceptions of their family system using answers given on the Family Environment Scale. Based on findings concerning incongruence in other environments, it was hypothesized that high family incongruence scores would be associated with more problems in the family system.
Alternative Methods For The Analysis Of Curves, Randi Christine Martin
Alternative Methods For The Analysis Of Curves, Randi Christine Martin
Dissertations and Theses
The interpretation of data from psychological experiments often involves the analysis and comparison of curves, like the electrocardiogram, spectral sensitivity, or dose-response curves. Existing statistical techniques are often inadequate for making this type of analysis. This thesis presents alternative methods for handling the data comprising curves and discusses the advantages of these techniques against those of existing methods.
Four types of analysis are discussed:
- finding a confidence band around one curve,
- finding a confidence band around the difference between two curves, or making an overall comparison between two curves,
- decomposing a curve into its components,
- making a component by component …
