Analysis of a Divergent Thinking Dataset
No full textDear Colleagues,
The Journal of Intelligence plans a special issue on the analysis of a divergent thinking dataset.
• The data are available right here!
• The main data are available for three Alternate Uses Objects (i.e., garbage bag, paperclip, and rope)
• The dataset includes many different scorings of the divergent thinking data such as variants of originality scorings (human ratings, statistical rarity, and semantic distance), as well as fluency and elaboration.
• Data for each single response are also available. This includes ratings of single responses, as well as text-mining features obtained for single responses, for example.
• Person-level covariates are also available (e.g., verbal fluency, typing speed, right-wing authoritarianism), but divergent thinking should always be part of the analysis performed.
• For an example of how the data can be analyzed, see:

• …outdated (some approaches used in the past might still be useful while other “old” methods of data analysis were simply overlooked) or modern (i.e., the newest approaches taken from the methods literature)
• …frequentist or Bayesian
• …psychometric (classical test theory, item response theory, or network psychometrics)
• …focused on prediction

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Heinz Forthmann and Darcy Ribeiro : documentary film on the Brazilian Indiens Service, SPI, 1949/1959
No full textOrientadores: Fernão Vitor Pessoa de Almeida RamosTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ArtesResumo: Esta pesquisa estuda o trabalho conjunto realizado pelo fotógrafo e cineasta Heinz Forthmann (1915-1978), brasileiro por opção, e pelo antropólogo Darcy Ribeiro (1922-1997) na Seção de Estudos, SE, do SPI. Criada em 1942 pelo indigenista Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon, a SE tinha entre seus objetivos pesquisar e documentar em fotografia, cinema e gravação sonora, a vida, os ritos e as manifestações culturais dos povos indígenas do Brasil. As diretrizes de documentação etnográfica, criadas inicialmente por Harald Schultz, foram desenvolvidas, a partir de 1949, por Darcy Ribeiro, que buscou a integração entre pesquisas etnológicas, lingüísticas e a realização cinematográfica. Este ciclo de trabalho se estendeu até 1959, e gerou importantes filmes documentários que hoje se encontram dispersos, fragmentados ou perdidos, entre os quais: Os Índios Urubus, 1950; Funeral Bororo, 1953; Txukahamãe, 1955, e Jawari, 1957. É a memória desses filmes, o conhecimento de sua arte e método de realização etnográfica que este trabalho procura recuperarRésumé: Cette recherche étudie le travail conjoint réalisé entre le photographe et cinéaste Heinz Forthmann (1915-1978), Brésilien par option, et l¿anthropologue Darcy Ribeiro (1922-1997) à la Seção de Estudos, SE, du SPI.

No full textCan archives of audiovisual TV interviews be used to make authors more visible to students, and thereby reduce the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers in college classes? We examined students in a college course who learned about one scholar's ideas through watching an audiovisual TV interview (i.e., visible author format) and about another scholar's ideas through reading a formal text description (i.e., invisible author format). For the invisible author, native language speakers scored significantly higher than the non-native language speakers on a corresponding exam question (i.e., a cognitive measure), generated more words on the exam question (i.e., a motivational measure), and mentioned the author's name more often in answering the exam question (i.e., an affective measure). For the visible author, the groups did not differ on any of these measures. These findings provide evidence for the idea that making the author visible through audiovisual TV interviews can eliminate the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers. 3 Universities around the world serve students who are non-native speakers of th
