Since Basic and Applied Social Psychology (BASP) journal banned<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>p<\/strong><\/em> value<\/strong>s<\/strong> and significance\u00a0hypothesis testing <\/strong>from their published papers<\/strong>, there have been a lot of debates and discussions around<\/strong> the<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>p<\/strong><\/em>-value.<\/strong>\u00a0We will discuss the current practice and the future of hypothesis testing and specially p<\/em> values. We will also have an opportunity to talk via Skype to, one of the editors of BASP, <\/strong>Dr. David Trafimow (Department of Psychology, New Mexico State University), about his 2015 editorial regarding the banning p<\/em> values and about the influence of this policy on the submissions to this journal.

The editorial from BASP<\/em> is attached here<\/a>. Greenland and his colleagues’ paper “Statistical tests, p<\/em> values, confidence intervals, and power: a guide to misinterpretations” is a good reference, which is attached here<\/a>. Please join us for a fun and informative discussion. The PowerPoint from the talk can be found here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do the multiple choices of a test question mean the same to different people?<\/strong>
\nBy Minjeong Park
\nAbstract: Multiple choice questions are widely used in both large scale and classroom assessments. However, educators rarely think about if students with the same ability or skills may have different probabilities to select the options, which may affect their academic performance. This study is to investigate this issue and will show you how Differential Options Functioning method provide useful information to researchers and educators.<\/p>\n

Psychometric investigation of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire: Methodological challenges and potential solutions<\/strong>
\nBy Oscar Olvera
\nAbstract: The Ages and Stages Questionnaire 3 (ASQ-3) is a widely-used screening tool to identify developmental delays in children aged from 2 to 66 months. In spite of this popularity, very little psychometric research has been done on it due to the intricacies of the data it generates. This study presents 3 methodological challenges prevalent in ASQ-3 data as well as solutions to address them.<\/p>\n
