“…By advancing methods integrating subjectivity with objectivity, and providing media for the propagation of meaningful construct representations across ecosystem niches, Wright substantiates his [66] (p. 44) claim that "Today there is no methodological reason why social science cannot become as stable, as reproducible, and hence as useful as physics." Ongoing investigations of Wright's assertion continue to add new support to his claim [106][107][108][109][110][111][112].…”

“…The boundary object has taken on a new dimension capable of augmenting the meaningfulness of the abstract level 9 instrument calibrations, within which are contextualized the level 9 observed responses. The consolidation of the formal theoretical level 10 (abstract mappings at the right of Figure 2B) sets the stage for a measurement science recognizable as such by metrologists [80,[106][107][108][109][110]. In terms of the unfolding history, the stage was also now set for new challenges to be introduced by the next level of complexity's negations and contradictions.…”

Imagination is more important than knowledge, but if intellect does not provide the needed logical structures, capacities for envisioning new possibilities are overly constrained. The sustainability problems we face today cannot be solved with the same kind of thinking that created them, but clarity on what counts as a new kind of thinking is sorely lacking. This article proposes methodical, model-based ways of heeding Bateson’s warning about the negative consequences for the ecology of mind that follow from ignoring the contexts of relationships. Informed by S. L. Star’s sense of boundary objects, a sequence of increasingly complex logical types distinguishes and interconnects qualitatively different kinds of thinking in ways that liberate imaginative new possibilities for life. The economy of thought instantiated at each level of complexity is only as meaningful, useful, beautiful, ethical, and efficient as the standards informing local adaptive improvisations. Standards mediating the general and specific, global and local, universally transcendent and embodied particulars enable meaningful negotiations, agreements, and communications. Attending to the differences between levels of discourse sets up new possibilities for creative and imaginative entrepreneurial approaches to viable, feasible, and desirable goals for measuring and managing sustainable development.

“…Stakeholders from clinicians and researchers, to patients and insurance providers, continue to invest in and seek improvements in the quality of care when it comes to rehabilitation outcomes. 1 The role of PROMs will continue to play an important part in evaluating the success of rehabilitation treatments. Implementing an instrument, such as the IKDC-8, that was developed using the RMM may lead to greater precision and clarity in measuring the subjective knee function of individuals with ACLR.…”

“…Previous studies investigating the reliability of the IKDC 14,15 have relied primarily on classical test theory, an approach with long noted limitations in establishing a stable psychometric instrument. 1 Classical test theory techniques used to develop instruments can typically ensure internal scale consistency (i.e. correlation among items), but do not sufficiently address other assumptions of construct validity including specific objectivity and unidimensionality.…”

Context: The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Evaluation is the most frequently used patient-reported measure of subjective knee function among individuals with ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Yet, limitations with traditional validation approaches leave it unclear whether the IKDC measures knee function as intended. Rasch analysis offers a robust validation approach, which may enhance clinical interpretation of the IKDC. Objective: 1) To assess the psychometric properties, 2) ability to classify health status, and 3) relationships between the IKDC and objective measures of strength and functional performance relative to a newly proposed reduced-item instrument. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: Laboratory. Patients or other Participants: Seventy-seven individuals with primary, unilateral ACLR (21.9±7.8 years, 6.2±1.0 months post-surgery), and seventy-six age-matched controls. Main Outcome Measure(s): Rasch analysis was used to assess the psychometric properties of the IKDC. Receiver-operator-characteristic curves and logistic regression were used to assess the accuracy of classifying ACLR versus control participants. Correlations (Pearson and Spearman) were used to assess relationships between subjective knee function, quadriceps torque, and single-limb hop performance. Results: Rasch analysis aided the development of a reduced 8-item instrument (IKDC-8), which yielded improved psychometric properties in misfit analysis, percent of variance accounted for by one dimension (IKDC-8=71.5%; IKDC=56.7%), and item reliability. The IKDC was an outstanding diagnostic tool and the IKDC-8 was excellent, correctly classifying 87.2% and 82.7% of cases, respectively. The Hanley-McNeil formula found that there was no significant difference in the areas under the respective ROC curves. Equivalent associations between subjective and objective knee function were observed regardless of instrument used. Conclusions: We observed evidence of enhanced reliability and validity for a parsimonious measure of subjective knee function. The proposed instrument reduces the number of items, increases score interpretability as measuring a single construct, and improves the rating scale functioning, while not significantly diminishing its ability to classify ACLR versus control participants or changing existing relationships with objective measures of recovery. We suggest the IKDC-8 may enhance clinical use by reducing administration time, improving the interpretation of the subjective knee function score, and clarifying functional ability.

“…Measurement problems are pervasive and cause for debate even in well-established fields including psychology (e.g., Borsboom, 2006; Fried & Flake, 2018), education (e.g., Quellmalz et al, 2013; Sussman, 2016), and health (e.g., Cano & Hobart, 2011; Cano et al, 2019). Nevertheless, for researchers and practitioners to accurately understand gender microaggressions and their impact, valid and reliable quantitative measures must be available.…”

While considerable knowledge exists about blatant gender discrimination and violence targeting women, less is known about gender microaggressions. To understand gender microaggressions’ frequency, prevalence, and effects, researchers need robust quantitative measures. To advance gender microaggressions scholarship and support researchers’ efforts to identify high-quality measures, we conducted a psychometric scoping review. We identified 24 original, quantitative, multi-item measures designed to assess gender microaggressions or related constructs. Included measures needed at least one item assessing gender microaggressions and be used with adult women in the United States. Results indicated an increase in the number of measures including gender microaggressions’ items in recent years, with a major expansion in the number of named gender microaggressions’ measures. We found limited reporting of demographic information. Psychometric testing and characteristics varied across measures. While most ( n = 20) reported internal consistency reliability, only two-thirds ( n = 16) reported undergoing validity testing. When examining microaggressions named measures ( n = 10), we found inconsistent adherence to microaggressions’ theoretical and conceptual foundations. Substantial work remains to develop a “gold standard” measure that does not conflate subtle and blatant acts, assesses the full thematic range of gender microaggressions, and is psychometrically valid across different social contexts and diverse groups of women.
