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.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
