In this work we studied disorder ranking in the general population and among health ... -

A refined computer harassment paradigm: Validation, and test of hypotheses about target characteristics

Male participants were given an opportunity to send sexist jokes to a computer-simulated female chat partner. In Study 1 (N = 44), the harassment measure (number of sexist jokes sent) correlated positively with self-reported harassment proclivity. Study 2 (N = 77) included ... -
Field Notes from the Quest for the First use of Acculturation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2003)Quest begin in the vauge way, as an interest or an orientation, and maybe as a collection of skills. I was probably bent towards this quest at Queen's University, where I was mentored in cross-cultural psychology by John Berry, where I served as a TA in Milt Suboski's statistics and research methods courses, and where I learned the lore of history of psychology with David Murray. Quests often begin ... -
Debate in science: The case of acculturation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006)The acculturation paradigm of measuring assimilation, separation, integration and marginalization confuses dimensional and categorical conceptions of its constructs, fails to produce ipsative data from mutually exclusive scales, misoperationalizes marginalization as distress, mismeasures biculturalism using double-barreled questions instead of computing it from unicultural measures, and then tends ... -
Emergent attributes in person perception: A comparative test of response time predictions.

The present paper first describes the processing mechanisms suggested by three theoretical models of attribute emergence. Then, competing response time predictions are ... -
