different epistemology’s (what can be known about human behaviour)‚ via issues of validity‚ reliability and generalisability. In accordance with a logical positivist epistemology‚ experimental researchers argue that social behaviour is an objective‚ independent reality‚ relying on theories which describe that reality (Megee‚ 2001). Theories depend on constructs and variables‚ and the relationship between these constructs/variables. Theories are formulated either deductively (based on logic) or inductively

Grewal (2002) proposed that convenience can be measured as a five dimensional construct comprising decision‚ access‚ transaction‚ benefit‚ and post-benefit. This paper examines the empirical reliability and validity of Berry et al’s five dimensions within one service setting. The results of a survey with 443 service consumers found that the five measures were all reliable (i.e. an alpha of above .60) and discriminate validity held (correlations below .85). These items warrant additional empirical evaluation

the weight management study focused on URICA’s construct validity. In this study and many others‚ construct validity of the URICA has been supported through factor and cluster analyses demonstrating that the subscales are associated with different behavioral profiles or changes. Moreover‚ there is consistent evidence supporting the transtheoretical four-factor structure of the URICA. Furthermore‚ the measurement tool showed a good predictive validity‚ in foreseeing attendance and weight-loss this

intelligence is significantly related to transformational and other leadership behaviors. Results indicated a validity estimate of .59 when ratings of both emotional intelligence and leadership behaviors were provided by the same source (self‚ subordinates‚ peers‚ or superiors). However‚ when ratings of the constructs were derived from different sources‚ the validity estimate was .12. Lower validity estimates were found for transactional and leadership behaviors. Separate analyses were performed for each

Chapter 7 speaks of memory‚ the function of short term/long term memory‚ and the way we encode/retrieve information. “Memory is the mental capacity to encode‚ store and retrieve information.” (Gerrig 196) In this chapter I found that within working memory there are four components within working memory‚ a phonological loop‚ a visual spatial sketchpad‚ the central executive and the episodic buffer. Before I continue to explain each component‚ I’d like to first explain what working memory is. “Working
