Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Follow us on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@IASCompanion. Today, we will explore the questionnaire method in psychology, a widely used tool for collecting data on various psychological constructs. This method allows researchers to gather information efficiently from large samples, making it essential in both academic and applied research. A questionnaire is a research instrument comprising a series of questions designed to gather information from respondents, administered in-person, by mail, over the phone, or online. It has historical roots in the early 20th century with significant contributions from social scientists like Charles Booth and Karl Pearson. Notable examples of questionnaire use in psychology include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Understanding the strengths and limitations of this method is crucial for effectively designing and administering questionnaires in psychological research. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity

Neste episódio relatamos a briga histórica entre Karl Pearson e Charles Spearman e, como esse guerra de egos afetou durante algum tempo a estatística e a psicometria
Erwin Schrödinger is one of the "fathers of quantum mechanics". He also sexually abused children. Trinity College Dublin recently denamed a lecture theatre that had been named after him - but his name is still on an equation that won the Nobel Prize for physics. And a cat. Writer and historian Subhadra Das recounts how and why you rename a university building, and retired physicist Martin Austwick considers that renaming an eponymous equation or theory might be more difficult than unscrewing a sign from a wall. This is an instalment of the Telling Other Stories series, about renaming. Content note: this episode contains references to racism and eugenics, and to the sexual abuse of children.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: What's So Bad About Ad-Hoc Mathematical Definitions?, published by johnswentworth on the LessWrong. Suppose it's the early twentieth century, and we're trying to quantify the concept of “information”. Specifically, we want to measure “how much information” one variable contains about another - for instance, how much information a noisy measurement of the temperature of an engine contains about the actual engine temperature. Along comes Karl Pearson, and suggests using his “correlation coefficient” (specifically the square of the correlation coefficient, ρ X Y 2 . As a measure of information, this has some sensible properties: If there's no information, then ρ X Y 2 is zero. If ρ X Y 2 is one, then there's perfect information - one variable tells us everything there is to know about the other. It's symmetric: the amount of information which X tells us about Y equals the amount of information which Y tells us about X. As an added bonus, it's mathematically simple to calculate, estimate, and manipulate. Sure, it's not very “principled”, but it seems like a good-enough measure to work with. Karl Pearson. He'd make a solid movie villain; I get sort of a Tywin Lannister vibe. Now an engineer from Bell Telephone shows up with a real-world problem: they've been contracted to create secure communications for the military. They want to ensure that externally-visible data Y contains no information about secret message X, so they need a way to measure “how much information” one variable contains about another. What a perfect use-case! We advise them to design their system so that X and Y have zero correlation. A few years later, Bell Telephone gets a visit from a very unhappy colonel. Apparently the enemy has been reading their messages. Zero correlation was not enough to keep the secret messages secret. Now, Bell could patch over this problem. For instance, they could pick a bunch of functions like X 2 sin Y e X 2 X − 1 , etc, and require that those also be uncorrelated. With enough functions, and a wide enough variety, that might be enough. but it's going to get very complicated very quickly, with all these new design constraints piling up. Fortunately, off in a corner of Bell Labs, one of their researchers already has an alternative solution. Claude Shannon suggests quantifying “how much information” X contains about Y using his “mutual information” metric I X Y . This has a bunch of sensible properties, but the main argument is that I X Y is exactly the difference between the average number of bits one needs to send in a message in order to communicate the value of X, and the average number of bits one needs to send to communicate X if the receiving party already knows Y. It's the number of bits “savable” by knowing Y. By imagining different things as the “message” and thinking about how hard it is to guess X after knowing Y, we can intuitively predict that this metric will apply to lots of different situations, including Bell's secret message problem. Claude Shannon. Note the electronics in the background; this guy is my kind of theorist. No ivory tower for him. Shannon advises the engineers to design their system so that X and Y have zero mutual information. And now, the enemy can't read their messages quite so easily. Proxies vs Definitions In this story, what does the correlation coefficient do “wrong” which mutual information does “right”? What's the generalizable lesson here? The immediate difference is that correlation is a proxy for amount of information, while mutual information is a true definition/metric. When we apply optimization pressure to a proxy, it breaks down - that's Goodheart's Law. In this case, the optimization pressure is a literal adversary trying to read our secret messages. The optimizer finds the corner cases where our proxy no longer perfectly ca...

We continue Season 3 of the "Great Quotes for Coaches" podcast with another episode where I will be talking about an impactful quote. This is actually Part 1 of a 2-part episode. Today's quote and next week's quote are quite similar to one another, but their focus is just a bit different, so I thought I would talk about each of them over the next two weeks. Today's quote comes from English mathematician and biostatistician, Karl Pearson. It is about the important of measuring the things that you want to improve at. While I have done this throughout my career as a teacher and coach, I had not heard the actual quote until the last few years, and then I had never heard the second part of the quote until the last couple of months. It is a great quote for us to focus on as we are trying to become the best we're capable of becoming.Also, you will notice new intro and outro music in today's show. The song is called "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass. I think it's a nice, lively, upbeat tune for our show. Thanks to Krisztian for a great song!
Hoje é dia do "Influencers da Ciência", um Spin-Off do podcast "Intervalo de Confiança". Neste programa trazemos o nome de Influencers que de fato trouxeram algo de positivo para a sociedade, aqueles que expandiram as fronteiras do conhecimento científico e hoje permitiram o desenvolvimento de diversas áreas. Neste episódio, apresentado por Igor Alcantara, vamos falar de Karl (com K) Pearson, um dos fundadores da estatística moderna, aquele que, sem seus trabalhos importantes, a gente não teria hoje muito do que se faz em ciência e nem mesmo a Inteligência Artificial. Só que esse influenciador tem esqueletos em seu armário bem sinistros. Seus estudos incluem algumas teorias racistas que influenciaram alguns dos movimentos mais terríveis do Século XX. Escute esse programa e aprenda mais sobre as bases da ciência moderna e suas influências na sua vida. A edição foi feita por Leo Oliveira e a vitrine do episódio por Diego Madeira. A Pauta foi escrita por Igor Alcantara. As vinhetas de todos os episódios foram compostas por Rafael Chino e Leo Oliveira.
In this episode we interview historian of science Iris Clever about her research untangling the early 20th century entanglements of the biometricians, physical anthropology, and race. She pursues this topic through the exploration of work by the statistician and Galton protégé, Karl Pearson, and one of Pearson’s favorite students, Geoffrey Morant. Morant, who publicly opposed Nazi racism in the 1930s and 40s maintained the biological reality of race and the possibility of racial differences in mental characteristics.

The University College London (UCL) has decided to rename three of its buildings. The university decided to change the names of two theaters and one building that were originally named after Francis Galton and Karl Pearson, who were scientists and prominent advocates of eugenics. The new names for the Galton Lecture Theatre, Pearson Lecture Theater, and Pearson Building are Lecture Theatre 115, Lecture Theatre G22, and North-West Wing, respectively. In 1883, Galton coined the term eugenics, which refers to the practice of selecting people with good genes and having them reproduce to improve the human race. Galton presented UCL with his personal collection and archive, along with a fund for the country's first eugenics professorial chair, which was granted to Pearson. In 2018, UCL President Michael Arthur announced that the university started to reevaluate its historical ties with eugenics and the practice's impact on the members of the UCL community. This came after concerns were raised about how the eugenics movement condoned racism. Such concerns led the university to consider whether or not its buildings should still be named after Galton and other eugenicists. According to Arthur, UCL's problematic history with eugenics creates an unwelcoming atmosphere for some members of its community. He added that the decision to rename the buildings is just one step to address the concerns raised, but there is still much that needs to be done. Following the renaming of the buildings, all signs and maps related to the buildings' namesakes will be taken down as soon as possible.

In Genetics in the Madhouse: The Unknown History of Human Heredity (Princeton University Press, 2018), Theodore Porter uncovers the unfamiliar origins of human genetics in the asylums of Europe and North America. Rather than beginning his story with Gregor Mendel or 1909, the date when Wilhelm Johannsen coined the term “gene,” Porter takes us back to King George III. After a political and medical crisis, doctors and researchers began to record and collect data on the causes of mental illness. In so doing, they increasingly investigated and theorized phenotypic heredity. Using paper technologies and demographic research, from asylum admissions records to census cards, largely unknown individuals helped establish the study of human inheritance. Excavating these figures’ contributions to the history of heredity, Porter sheds new light on the work of Karl Pearson and Charles Davenport. Learn more about your ad choices.

In Genetics in the Madhouse: The Unknown History of Human Heredity (Princeton University Press, 2018), Theodore Porter uncovers the unfamiliar origins of human genetics in the asylums of Europe and North America. Rather than beginning his story with Gregor Mendel or 1909, the date when Wilhelm Johannsen coined the term “gene,” Porter takes us back to King George III. After a political and medical crisis, doctors and researchers began to record and collect data on the causes of mental illness.

A live recording of our educational podcast The Grammar of Science and Technology with Dr. Robert Trivers. Moderated by Dr. Terence Burnham. Robert Trivers is an evolutionary biologist who concentrates on social theory based on natural selection, and on evolutionary genetics—the twin backbones of biology. Early work concentrated on reciprocal altruism, the evolution of sex differences, the sex ratio at birth, parent-offspring conflict, kinship and sex ratio in social insects and the theory that self-deception evolves in the service of deceit. Later he showed that systems of female choice naturally evolve with a bias toward daughters. He then devoted fifteen years of his life (with Austin Burt) to reviewing the vast topic of selfish genetic elements in all species (except bacteria and viruses). These are genes that do not benefit the individual with the genes but spread because they reproduce faster within the individual. He recently published in 2011 Deceit and Self-deception—Fooling Yourself the Better to Fool Others (UK); The Folly of Fools (US). It is now translated into eleven languages, including Korean, Chinese and Taiwanese and is regarded as the definitive treatment of the subject. In 2015 he published a personal memoir—Wild Life: Adventures of an Evolutionary Biologist—translated into Spanish and soon Polish. Trivers currently lectures to the general public on all aspects of deceit and self-deception—including personal, business and societal. He lectures on the evolutionary biology of homosexuality and trans-sexuality and on explaining the genetic logic of “honor” killing, this according to a theory on the socio-genetic effects of frequent first cousin marriages. The program was moderated by Dr. Terence Burnham. Terry Burnham is an economist who studies the biological and evolutionary basis of human behavior. He has a Ph.D. in Business Economics from Harvard University, a Masters from the MIT Sloan School with a concentration in finance. HIs undergraduate degree is in biophysics from the University of Michigan. Prior to Chapman, Terry was a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, the University of Michigan, and the Harvard Business School. His non-academic experiences include working briefly for Goldman, Sachs & Co., being the chief financial officer for Progenics Pharmaceuticals , a start-up biotechnology company, and being the director of portfolio management for Acadian Asset Management, a quantitative equity manager.

Join me in this episode as I discuss the theory of a pre-Christian Witchcraft Religion, most notably popularized by Margaret Murray's “The Witch-Cult in Western Europe” published in 1921. What does the theory suggest? What does Jacob Grimm have to do with it? Who is Jules Michelet? Who is Matilda Gage? What does Karl Pearson (an English Math professor) have to do with it? www.revonyx.com
Karl Pearson, is rembered here as a towering figure in science and mathematics: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/karl-pearsons-gresham-lectures-on-geometry-1890-1894Karl Pearson, as well as being the Gresham Professor of Geometry was also the author of nearly 400 works on mathematics, a socialist, the writer of a passion play, a technologist, an engineer, author of a romance novel, a germanophile, an engineer, an atheist and a feminist. Dr Eileen Magnello's lecture discusses the lectures, but also paints a picture of a dynamic man and electrifying educator who is completely at odds with modern conceptions of the Victorians. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College Website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/karl-pearsons-gresham-lectures-on-geometry-1890-1894Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,500 lectures free to access or download from the website.Website: http://www.gresham.ac.ukTwitter: http://twitter.com/GreshamCollegeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/greshamcollege
Not necessarily, for example the average person has fewer than two legs! This is because some people have fewer than two legs but nobody has more than two, so dividing the total number of legs by the total number of people to get the average gives a number less than two. Average does not mean typical! The lecture will examine how the work in the 19th century of such mathematicians as Florence Nightingale, Adolphe Queteller and Karl Pearson on describing and quantifying variation and uncertainty laid the foundations for the theory of statistics as a mathematical discipline.
In this week’s Healing Through Creativity, host Dr. Desiree Cox speaks with a statistician and historian of science, Dr Eileen Magnello. Dr Magnello, who is an expert on Karl Pearson and Victorian statistics in particular, developed a passion for cooking after an operation on her brain left her mind in pieces. “It was like my mind was a … Read more about this episode...
