Dysfunction in personality disorder symptoms was assessed using multivariate techniques to analyse lay judges' (N = 216) ratings of occupational impairment, social impairment, and personal distress. Factor analysis revealed that ratings of occupational impairment and social impairment loaded onto distinct factors. Personal distress ratings loaded onto two separate factors: high distress and low distress. Multidimensional scaling revealed two dimensions for overall dysfunction among personality disorders: severity of dysfunction and internalization-externalization. The dimensions were independence-dependence and severity of dysfunction for occupational impairment, interpersonal involvement and dominance-submission for social impairment, and internalization-externalization and severity for personal distress.

Research Outcomes

Traditional linguistic geography has not dealt with issues relating to the prosodic study of languages and linguistic varieties. The international project AMPER (Atlas Multimédia Prosodique de l’Espace Roman) achieves a key milestone in this area by studying the prosody of Romance languages and varieties in order to disseminate research outcomes in the form of interactive online atlases. Using prosodic data from a wide corpus of declarative and interrogative sentences, obtained from a range of informants from the seven Canary Islands (AMPERCan), a dialectometric study was carried out with a tool especially designed within the framework of AMPER. Correlation values, dendrograms as well as multivariate analysis by means of the multidimensional scaling technique (MDS), have enabled us to establish relationships of close prosodic proximity among the Canary Islands.

This article reports the finding of a study designed to extend the use of proximity judgments to an experimental design. The analysis mode of multidimensional scaling (MDS) and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to determine the effect of the experimental manipulation on the respondents’ perception of a hypothetical new coffee product relative to seven types of coffee products currently available to consumers.

A Share

Agribusiness is one of the most important sectors for Brazil, expressing positive values in the trade balance, with a share of 23% of GDP, besides the great generation of employment along its chain. In this way, Brazil stands out due to the expressive volume of agricultural production, making it one of the largest exporters of food in the world. In this way, it sought to apply the multivariate analysis through multidimensional scaling between the area, production and gross value of agricultural products, in order to observe the similarities and dissimilarities between them, which resulted in three discrepant products, which are of great importance to the Brazilian economy, being soy, sugar cane and corn, besides the formation of two distinct groups of products with similar characteristics.

The author describes the construction of a scale to measure self-concepts, person concepts, and product concepts. Multivariate analysis and multidimensional scaling procedures are employed to develop a 15-item semantic differential scale. Measures of test-retest reliability are reported. Validity of the scale is assessed by the multitrait-multimethod matrix approach.

Multivariate analysis of qualitative and quantitative data from algal communities, collected at three coastal areas of the Aegean Sea in the upper infralittoral zone, has been carried out using the PRIMER software. The aim was to detect groups of species reflecting differences in environmental conditions. A multidimensional scaling of the results demonstrated the presence of three different groups of Cystoseira species, corresponding to different hydrodynamic conditions.

Order Of Presentation

Order of presentation of objects might influence the similarity judgments provided by respondents. If so, the results obtained by MDS techniques are likely to be biased. To examine this possibility, several hypotheses were developed, an experiment was designed, and data were analyzed by use of multivariate analysis of variance. No significant differences due to the order effect were found in similarity judgments.

Laboratory Activities

This paper studies the effect of laboratory activities on the results obtained by the students on 7 core curricular units (CUs) of an Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering. Each CU is characterized by means of 4 performance indices, over the 6-year period 2014/2015–2019/2020. Firstly, individual indices in a per semester basis are compared. Secondly, the CUs are regarded as objects defined in a 4-dimensional space of features, and the multidimensional scaling (MDS) technique is adopted for clustering and computer visualization. The MDS is powerful for analyzing the multivariate dataset, unveiling patterns not perceived by standard statistical methods.

The Nemacheilid loaches, Noemacheilus triangularis tambaraparniensis and Nemacheilus periyarensis have been widely considered to be synonyms of the zodiac loach, Mesonoemacheilus triangularis. An integrative taxonomic investigation based on topotypic material, involving molecular analysis of two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 and cytochrome b), multivariate morphometric analysis based on non-metric multidimensional scaling and non-parametric multivariate analysis of variance suggests that the three species are in fact distinct.
