A general framework is presented for the analysis of partially ordered set (poset) data. The work is motivated by the need to analyse poset data such as multi-componential responses in psychological measurement and partially accomplished cognitive tasks in educational measurement. It is shown how the generalized loglinear model can be used to represent poset data that form a lattice and how lat...

The componential theory of creativity is a comprehensive model of the social and psychological components necessary for an individual to produce creative work. The theory is grounded in a definition of creativity as the production of ideas or outcomes that are both novel and appropriate to some goal. In this theory, four components are necessary for any creative response: three components withi...

E ective Static Debugging via Componential Set Based Analysis

This essay examines cultural and structural patterns of information use in a virtual meeting. An information landscape model provided an abductive approach for guiding ethnographic data collection acquired through participant observation. A political frame of information use was applied to analyze field data. The themes that emerged from the ethnographic componential analysis were governance an...

THE outline of a componential descriptive model of voice quality is suggested, in the hope of facilitating discussion about voice quality among phoneticians, linguists, speech therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Emphasis is laid on the function of voice quality as an index to biological, psychological and social characteristics of the speaker.

Most models of automatic emotion recognition use a discrete perspective and a black-box approach, i.e., they output an emotion label chosen from a limited pool of candidate terms, on the basis of purely statistical methods. Although these models are successful in emotion classification, a number of practical and theoretical drawbacks limit the range of possible applications. In this paper, the ...

In this paper we discuss the methodology and results of aligning three different emotional measurement methods (automatic facial expression recognition, self-report, electrodermal activation) and their agreement regarding learners’ emotions. Data was collected from 67 undergraduate students from a North American university who interacted with MetaTutor, an intelligent, multi-agent, hypermedia e...

The effect of test on teachers, students, and their classroom behaviors has ever been amenable to scholarly studies. To explore such an effect, 20 professors offering MA TEFL preparation courses and 30 candidates received PLSP and APALS inventories. Paired-sample t-tests revealed significant differences. However, the respective componential multivariate ANOVA revealed non-significant and signif...
