{ "pk": 27040, "title": "Inconvenient samples: Modeling the effects of non-consent\nby coupling observational and experimental results", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Biased sampling of participants presents a major limiting factor for\nthe generalizability of findings from behavioral studies. This effect\nmay be especially pronounced in developmental studies, where\nparents serve as both the primary environmental input and decide\nwhether their child participates in a study. To estimate the effects\nof parental non-consent, we coupled naturalistic observations of\nparent-child interactions with a behavioral test. Results showed\nthat one particular parenting practice, the tendency to use questions\nto teach, associated with both children’s behavior in the test and\nparents’ tendencies to participate. Exploiting these associations\nwith a model-based multiple imputation, we estimated that the\nmeans of the consented and not-consented groups could differ as\nmuch as 0.2 standard deviations for five of the seven test\nmeasurements we used, and standard deviations are likely\nunderestimated. These results suggest that ignoring the role of\nconsent may lead to systematic biases when generalizing beyond\nlab samples.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "sampling; generalization; parent-child interaction;\nlearning; exploration; multiple imputation." } ], "section": "Talks: Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/82w6b21v", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Yue", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Yu", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Rutgers University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Elizabeth", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Bonawitz", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Rutgers University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Patrick", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Shafto", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Rutgers University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2017-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27040/galley/16676/download/" } ] }
