Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Chapter 4 compares semantic differential scales employed by ACT-Self to measure self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-activation with Likert-scale measures of the same constructs. A multitrait-multimethod matrix analysis in conjunction with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis demonstrates a dramatic lack of convergence between these two methods of measuring self-sentiments. Following a discussion of why this occurs, the chapter concludes with an extensive discussion of the relative advantages of semantic differential over Likert scales as measures of self-sentiments. Among the advantages identified in this discussion, the semantic differential approach to measuring self-sentiments is more consistent with the bipolar nature of affect, avoids the linguistic and cognitive complexity of Likert scales, and enters readily into mathematical models of the self-process.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
