How we Measure Matters: Challenges in Evidence Synthesis across Theoretical Constructs
No full textBackground: Careful attention to mismatch and similarity of construct labels and definitions in behavioral science is critical for evidence synthesis, theory advancement, and intervention optimization, but this is complicated at the measurement level. Science Of Behavior Change (SOBC) researchers are conducting a series of collaborative studies that (a) correspond SOBC-curated measures to theory-derived mechanisms of action (MoA) hypothesized to underlie behavior change identified by the Human Behaviour Change Project (HBCP), (b) empirically identify shared construct-variance across measures, and (c) illustrate lack of clarity in construct definitions and measure items.
Methods: Five studies are completed/planned: (1) An expert consensus exercise (N=30) assessing agreement links between 44 measures and 26 MoAs; (2) Coding measures/subscales to the HBCP MoA Ontology; (3) An item-level discriminant content validity study (N~=90); (4) Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA; N=806) informed by Studies 1-3; and (5) A qualitative study soliciting item-based comprehensive construct definitions and measurement instructions (N~=20).
Findings: Experts agreed on 167 measure-MoA links in Study 1. Study 2 confirmed 397 links and identified 289 new links. Co-occurring patterns of entities were identified. Study 4 confirmed original scale structure and demonstrated excellent fit of an entity-based CFA. Studies 3 and 5 are underway.
Discussion: Frameworks for organizing theoretical constructs are necessary to advance behavioral science, but measurement considerations highlight challenges of applying these frameworks. Measure-MoA links can be identified, but evidence suggests scale-specific variance not captured by overlapping entities. Embracing and elaborating heterogeneity in constructs in tandem with organizational frameworks will improve rigor and transparency and advance theory
Living in a Comparative World: The Influence of Roommate Characteristics on Body Satisfaction and Eating Behaviors
No full textThe current research examined social comparison processes as a moderator of college roommate’s weight, predicting body satisfaction and eating restraint. In two studies – an initial exploration and a replication study – independent samples of undergraduate students completed an online survey including questions about their roommate’s weight, their own weight and weight perceptions, appearance comparison tendencies, behavioral inhibition, self-esteem, body satisfaction, and eating restraint. It was predicted that thinner roommates would increase eating restraint and decrease body satisfaction, but only for individuals sensitive to appearance comparison information. Study 1 (conducted in the fall) provided support for these hypothesis. Study 2 (conducted in the spring) showed some support for the hypothesis, but largely failed to replicate the findings from Study 1. This may be due to differences in timing of the studies, or differences between the samples, including baseline levels of disordered eating and body satisfaction (as discovered in post hoc analysis). Implications of treating individual differences in comparison tendencies as a moderator of a comparison target rather than as a main effect are discussed
