are most delinquent offenses committed in groups but that most lone offenders are influenced by companions.’ Somewhat later, Shaw and Meyer2 and Shaw and 11cKay3 estimated the extent to which juvenile delinquency is group activity, showing that less than 20 percent are lone offenders in juvenile court samples. Shaw and 1~’IcKay also showed that the modal size of offending groups is two and thre...
متن کاملItem response theory and classical test theory: an empirical comparison
Despite theoretical differences between item response theory (IRT) and classical test theory (CTT), there is a lack of empirical knowledge about how, and to what extent, the IRTand CTT-based item and person statistics behave differently. This study empirically examined the behaviors of the item and person statistics derived from these two measurement frameworks. The study focused on two issues:...
متن کاملAn Empirical Test of the Theory of Relationship Constraints
Agency theory has long been a stalwart of IS research and is one of the most commonly used lenses to study the relationship between a principal and an agent. The Theory of Relationship Constraints (TRC) has recently been recommended as an informationoriented alternative to agency theory. TRC suggests that three attributes (i.e., the level of information asymmetry, levels of tacit and explicit k...
متن کاملBeyond Media Richness: An Empirical Test of Media Synchronicity Theory
One widely accepted theory on media use is media richness theory. However, media richness theory was developed without consideration of new electronic media and the many social factors that can influence media selection, communication processes, and outcomes. Recent empirical investigations have raised questions about media richness theory's applicability to these new media. Therefore, this pap...
متن کاملAn Empirical Test of Gain-Loss Separability in Prospect Theory
We investigate a basic premise of prospect theory, that the valuation of gains and losses is separable. In prospect theory, gain-loss separability implies that a mixed gamble is valued by summing the valuations of the gain and loss portions of that gamble. Two experimental studies demonstrate a systematic violation of the double matching axiom, an axiom that is necessary for gain-loss separabil...
