Explain Individual Differences ********** Lesson ================ .. article-info:: :avatar: dnl_plastic.png :avatar-link: https://www.decisionneurosciencelab.com/ :author: Elijah Galvan :date: September 1, 2023 :read-time: 7 min read :class-container: sd-p-2 sd-outline-muted sd-rounded-1 Goal During this Stage --------------- We want to try to characterize *why* some :bdg-success:`Subjects` make different :bdg-danger:`Decisions` than others. Thus, we are going to use demographic factors and/or dispositional psychological factors to try to predict these differences. How to Achieve this Goal ------------ .. dropdown:: Common Dispositional Psychological Factors to Consider .. Note:: I'm not an expert on the psychometrics of any of these psychological factors: I've just provided these to give you something to start with and think about in terms of how you want to predict behavior. **Personality** - Big Five Personality Inventory or HEXACO Personality Inventory **Morality** - Moral Foundations Questionnaire **Individualism/Collectivism** - Auckland Individualism-Collectivism Scale (AICS) **Dark Triad** - Short Dark Triad (SD3) **Social Dominance** - Social Dominance Orienation Scale **Emotional Intelligence** - Rotterdam Emotional Intelligence Scale **Approach/Avoidance Tendencies** - BIS/BAS Scale Our answer to this question depends entirely on what we want to focus on: this table should help you determine what you may want to use. We're not going to bother using conceptual examples, all implemented examples are shown below. .. table:: :widths: auto +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | | 1 :bdg-success:`Free Parameter` | 2+ :bdg-success:`Free Parameters` | Cluster or Bin | +=========================================+=================================+====================================+====================================+ | 1 Binary Variable | 2 Sample t-test (Ex. 1) | Cluster Strength Analysis (Ex. 2) | Chi-Square (Ex. 3) | +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | 1 Categorical Variable with 3+ Levels | One-Way ANOVA (Ex. 4) | Cluster Strength Analysis (Ex. 5) | Chi-Square (Ex. 6) | +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | 1 Continuous Variable | Correlation (Ex. 7) | Matrix Correlation (Ex. 8) | Logistic Regression (Ex. 9) | +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | 2+ Categorical Variables | Multiple Regression (Ex. 10) | Cluster Strength Analysis (Ex. 11) | Logistic Regression (Ex. 12) | +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Any 2+ Variables | Multiple Regression (Ex. 13) | Matrix Correlation (Ex. 14) | Logistic Regression (Ex. 15) | +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Any 2+ Continuous Variables | Matrix Correlation (Ex. 16) | Matrix Correlation (Ex. 17) | Cluster Strength Analysis (Ex. 18) | +-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------+------------------------------------+------------------------------------+ .. dropdown:: Miscellaneous Examples Example 19: Using Weighted Averages of :bdg-success:`Free Parameters` over :bdg-primary:`Conditions` as Predictors of Preference-Relevant Atittudes Examples =========== .. dropdown:: Example 1 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 2 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 3 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 4 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 5 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 6 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 7 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 8 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 9 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 10 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 11 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 12 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 13 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 14 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 15 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 16 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 17 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 18 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python :: .. dropdown:: Example 19 .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: R :: .. tab-item:: MatLab :: .. tab-item:: Python ::
