The Effect of Cognitive Bias Modification in the Attention Bias of Students With Test Anxiety
Abstract Introduction: Many of the students chr('39')educational problems, including academic failure and maladaptive behaviors, stem from exam anxiety caused by studentschr('39') cognitive bias. Cognitive bias modification can reduce attention biases students to be negative. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive bias modification interven...
متن کاملA New Approach to Assessing Test Bias
A new regression-based method of assessing test bias is proposed. We highlight two different potential causes of differences in groups' regression line intercepts. Intercepts differing due to mean criterion score differences are not interpreted as predictive test bias. Using both simulated and employee data, we illustrate this new approach. Test bias is a systematic error in how a test measures...
متن کاملPredictive validity of an Implicit Association Test for assessing anxiety.
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was adapted to measure anxiety by assessing associations of self (vs. other) with anxiety-related (vs. calmness-related) words. Study 1 showed that the IAT-Anxiety exhibited good internal consistency and adequate stability. Study 2 revealed that the IAT-Anxiety was unaffected by a faking instruction. Study 3 examined the predictive validity of implicit and ex...
متن کاملOne statistical test is sufficient for assessing new predictive markers
BACKGROUND We have observed that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is increasingly being used to evaluate whether a novel predictor should be incorporated in a multivariable model to predict risk of disease. Frequently, investigators will approach the issue in two distinct stages: first, by testing whether the new predictor variable is significant in a multivariab...
متن کاملAssessing the Predictive In uenceof
An important inferential objective in state-space modelling is to recover unob-served states using xed-interval smoothing. Thus, the identiication of cases which have a substantial innuence on the smoothers is a relevant practical problem. To facilitate this identiication, we propose a case-deletion diagnostic which can be easily computed using the outputs of the standard ltering and smoothing ...
