Social Cognitive Theories

Abstract: We review research on response-latency based (“implicit”) measures of attitudes by examining what hopes and intentions researchers have associated with their usage. We identified the hopes of (1) gaining better measures of interindividual differences in attitudes as compared to self-report measures (quality hope); (2) better predicting behavior, or predicting other behaviors, as compared to self-reports (incremental validity hope); (3) linking social-cognitive theories more adequately to empirical research (theory-link hope). We argue that the third hope should be the starting point for using these measures. Any attempt to improve these measures should include the search for a small-scale theory that adequately explains the basic effects found with such a measure. To date, small-scale theories for different measures are not equally well developed.

Abstract. Bollen and colleagues have advocated the use of formative scales despite the fact that formative scales lack an adequate underlying theory to guide development or validation such as that which underlies reflective scales. Three conceptual impediments impede the development of such theory: the redefinition of measurement restricted to the context of model fitting, the inscrutable notion of conceptual unity, and a systematic conflation of item scores with attributes. Setting aside these impediments opens the door to progress in developing the needed theory to support formative scale use. A broader perspective facilitates consideration of standard scale development concerns as applied to formative scales including scale development, item analysis, reliability, and item bias. While formative scales require a different pattern of emphasis, all five of the traditional sources of validity evidence apply to formative scales. Responsible use of formative scales requires greater attention to developing the requisite underlying theory.

Abstract On the basis of the Clapeyron equation and the scale theory, expressions are developed for the “apparent” heat of vaporization r * = r * (T), vapor ρ- = ρ- (T) and liquid ρ+ = ρ+ (T) branches of the saturation line of individual substances for the range of state parameters from the triple point (pt,Tt,ρt ) to the critical (pc,Tc,ρc ). The peculiarity of the proposed approach to the description of the saturation line is that all exponents of the components of the equations ρ- = ρ- (T) and ρ+ = ρ+ (T) are universal up to the universality of the critical indices α, β and Δ. In this case, the order parameter ds = (ρ+ − ρ-)/(2ρc) and the average diameter df = (ρ+ + ρ-)/(2ρc) − 1 of the saturation line satisfy the saturation line model [2β,1−α], which follows from the modern theory of critical phenomena. The method is tested on the example of describing the phase equilibrium line of refrigerant R1233zd(E) in the range from Tt = 195.15 K to Tc = 439.57 K. It is found that in the temperature range [Tt,Tc ], the developed system of the mutually consistent equations ps = ps (T), r * = r * (T), ρ- = ρ- (T) and ρ+ = ρ+ (T) allows describing the data on the saturated vapor pressure ps and densities ρ- and ρ+ on the saturation line within the experimental uncertainty of these data.

The Relationship

This article aims to discuss Kusumadinata’s scale theory in Sundanese music which has been taught in educational institutions in West Java, Indonesia. According to Kusumadinata’s scale theory, sorog and pelog are scales derived from salendro scale in gamelan salendro performance. In my previous research, I investigated three genres of Sundanese performing arts which have existed since the Hindu era, namely goong renteng, pantun, and tarawangsa. The results indicate that the pelog scale has independently existed since the Hindu era. Then, I analyzed the phenomenon that occurs in the gamelan salendro performance, i.e., its melody (rebab and vocals) conventionally modulate into scale ‘like sorog’, occasionally into scale ‘like pelog’. In contrast, the instruments of gamelan are in the salendro scale. However, the analysis on the sorog in the previous research was not enough, so that in this paper, I will focus on the sorog. To find out the relationship between melody (vocal and rebab) and gamelan instruments, I examined the actual performances of gamelan salendro and wayang golek purwa. It became clear that the salendro scale derives four types of sorog. The findings of this study indicate that sorog has existed since the 19th century by this phenomenon, and the scale now called sorog is a scale derived from salendro.
