Scale Norming Undermines the Use of Life Satisfaction Scale Data for Welfare Analysis.
Mark Fabian
Apr 13, 2022
Scale norming is where respondents use qualitatively different scales to answer the same question across survey waves. It makes responses challenging to compare intertemporally or interpersonally. This paper develops a formal...

Galaxy shape statistics in the effective field theory
Abstract: Intrinsic galaxy alignments yield an important contribution to the observed statistics of galaxy shapes. The general bias expansion for galaxy sizes and shapes in three dimensions has been recently described by Vlah...

La démarche classique en anthropologie, qui consiste à lire ses données de terrain à travers le prisme de l’opposition entre un groupe humain déterminé et l’« Occident », est depuis longtemps la cible d’une critique vigoureuse...

Primate Amygdala Neurons Simulate Decision Processes of Social Partners.
By observing their social partners, primates learn about reward values of objects. Here, we show that monkeys' amygdala neurons derive object values from observation and use these values to simulate a partner monkey's decision...

Straightforward intermediate rank tensor product smoothing in mixed models
Tensor product smooths provide the natural way of representing smooth interaction terms in regression models because they are invariant to the units in which the covariates are measured, hence avoiding the need for arbitrary...

Psychological science is increasingly influencing public policy. Behavioral public policy (BPP) was a milestone in this regard because it influenced many areas of policy in a general way. Well-being public policy (WPP) is...

AbstractThick concepts, namely those concepts that describe and evaluate simultaneously, present a challenge to science. Since science does not have a monopoly on value judgments, what is...

Functions of primate amygdala neurons in economic decisions and social decision simulation.
Long implicated in aversive processing, the amygdala is now recognized as a key component of the brain systems that process rewards. Beyond reward valuation, recent findings from single-neuron recordings in monkeys indicate that...

Primate amygdala neurons evaluate the progress of self-defined economic choice sequences.
The amygdala is a prime valuation structure yet its functions in advanced behaviors are poorly understood. We tested whether individual amygdala neurons encode a critical requirement for goal-directed behavior: the evaluation of...

Gill developmental program in the teleost mandibular arch.
Whereas no known living vertebrate possesses gills derived from the jaw-forming mandibular arch, it has been proposed that the jaw arose through modifications of an ancestral mandibular gill. Here, we show that the zebrafish...

Neural Mechanisms for Accepting and Rejecting Artificial Social Partners in the Uncanny Valley.
Artificial agents are becoming prevalent across human life domains. However, the neural mechanisms underlying human responses to these new, artificial social partners remain unclear. The uncanny valley (UV) hypothesis predicts...
