Podcasts about Validity

While we've been discussing how to move away from just getting parents to buy in to proposed behavioral treatments, there's still a huge gap between what works, what parents are told could work, and what parents like (when everything works). So we decided to kick off our Special Guest Month by having two experts at parent training, Drs. Roseanne Lesack and Jillian Wilson, help us figure out how to effectively promote better social validity practices when collaborating with parents. We revisit the classic Allen and Warzak article on parental nonadherence and delve deeply into what treatment ideas parents prefer at almost any child's age. Plus: the secret history of validating statements! This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU. Articles discussed this episode: Allen, K.D. & Warzak, W.J. (2000). The problem of parental nonadherence in clinical behavior analysis: Effective treatment is not enough.

  Where in the world am I? Brazil planning Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, returning from a recent trip to Asia. I'm in San Diego now, sharing my best travel ideas and working on another book for you to enjoy: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, Part C. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world. Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Juliana who is from Brazil. She was a student of mine and now she works with me. She gave me a list of all the places in Brazil that I should be going to.She and I have known each other for 3 years. She's so beautiful and full of life. I'm so grateful for. Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is:  Should I carry books with me to read on the trip? I recommend you download them from your local or cloud library. Then you read on the go. Don't carry more than you need. 3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select neighborhoods that are walkable and have public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you.  To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either   Today's destination is: Brazil.

Maybe you want to travel because you never saw these places while you raised your children and supported the family. You may want to visit where you were born and want to do it on your own. You may want to lie on a beach in Tahiti and have a long nap. How does one get to do this? We will help you with instruction, guidance, and good stories. This book must be published now because 14.8% of women are over 65, and most outlive their spouses. Another large chunk of women are in their 50s and early 60s and have years of activity to go. Plus, there are 38 million members of AARP, many looking for active choices on how they live and travel.  Gone are the days of your travel agent booking your paper airline ticket. You will not likely contact a travel agent for your trip. The more we understand others and their cultures, the more we can get along with them. Dr. Mary Travelbest is like Rick Steves for Women adventure travelers who are seasoned in years but have yet to gain travel experience. My daughter, my co-author, Tina, and I have been traveling since she was born 22 years ago. She's also made many solo trips, including visiting her sister in China for a month this year. She's completed her degree in Business, working on a Master's degree, and living/working in the San Francisco area. This book needs to be published so the Golden Years can be just that for those who like active travel.    The take away mantra is to go and find peace where you rest and bring good to others    You can travel solo and never be alone. Dr. Travelbest.  

SPECIAL EPISODE: In a June 2025 decision, the Oregon Court of Appeals delivered a controversial ruling on forensic evidence admissibility in State v. Adams, a case involving a 2018 shooting in Portland. The ruling has been interpreted and reported as a categorical rejection of the method of linking spent shell casings to a particular firearm—commonly used for decades. The court argued that the State failed to establish the scientific validity of the method under Oregon's rules of evidence. In this special edition of Crime and the Courtroom, John Collins shares his thoughts on the ruling, how important it is, and what it might mean for the future of not only firearm identification, but of all of the forensic pattern identification disciplines.  Season:  5 Episode:  94 Duration:  29:31 YOUTUBE CHANNELS Main Podcast Channel Highlights Channel FROM OUR SPONSOR Learn About the Innovators at Promega International Symposium on Human Identification REFERENCED RESOURCES Article by Oregonian/Oregon Live Court Ruling in State v.

Charles Schwab's Mike Townsend says we're in a "funny, little, quiet" period in D.C. as the Senate turns attention to the GOP's "big, beautiful" tax bill. Mike notes American optimism the bill will be passed by July 4th is likely a "false marker," believing there will be a greater focus on the debt ceiling at the end of July. Liz Ann Sonders turns to the jobs data and weighs data validity. She would not be surprised if there's a hard data "catch down" in the coming weeks.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The last thing anybody wants to do is sit for a meaningless test. Entrance exams like the SAT & ACT should be able to inform both test takers and target institutions about the likelihood of success at the next level. So do they? Amy and Mike invited educator David Blobaum to explore the predictive validity of test scores in college admissions. What are five things you will learn in this episode? Research says that SAT/ACT scores are better predictors of success at Ivy-plus colleges than are high school grades–why? Have any other colleges beyond the Ivy-plus colleges made similar statements? Why have colleges not gone back to requiring test scores then if they're so predictive? Do test-optional colleges value SAT/ACT scores? Are test-blind colleges blind to all tests? MEET OUR GUEST David Blobaum graduated from the University of Chicago with honors both from the college and in his major. In college, he took seriously the University of Chicago's aim of a “Renaissance” or well-rounded education and took courses in 17 different disciplines, ranging from Statistics and Economics to Philosophy and Art History. Since then, he has devoted himself to helping students reach their potential on the SAT and ACT and, more broadly, to help them succeed through education.  To that end, in 2013, he founded Summit Prep with a former UChicago classmate. They now have two tutoring centers in New Jersey, and their team of SAT/ACT experts privately tutors over 500 students per year. David is a consultant to schools on SAT/ACT best practices, personally trains each Summit Prep tutor one-on-one, and tutors a select few students himself. David not only teaches students the necessary subject matter but also motivates them to continually strive towards their potential. David first appeared on the podcast in episode 79 to discuss Why The SAT And ACT Are Awesome, in episode 582 to discuss The Need For Testing Sites In California, and in episode 421 for a Sponsor Spotlight.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Erik is a behavioral scientist with a passion for understanding how people, especially kids, interact with digital experiences. He works at The LEGO Group, where he leads behavioral research to create safer, more inspiring, and more playful digital spaces for children. He specializes in using behavioral science, experimentation, and innovative research methodologies to uncover what kids need and love in digital play.Beyond his professional role, he is a self-proclaimed research methodology nerd, always exploring better ways to understand and test how kids engage with the digital world.In our conversation, we discuss:* Why ecological validity is critical to meaningful product testing and what it means in practice.* How Erik approaches testing with kids at LEGO, including the need for playful environments and cognitive load considerations.* The pitfalls of lab-based research and why researchers must move beyond “zoo-like” conditions to see real-world behavior.* Ways to mitigate social desirability and authority bias, especially when conducting research with children.* How remote research, diary studies, and mixed methods can provide deeper behavioral insights—if done with context in mind.Some takeaways:* Validity is about realism. Erik defines ecological validity as the extent to which research reflects real-world behavior. While traditional labs optimize for internal validity, in product development, what matters is whether your findings will translate when people are distracted, tired, or juggling multiple tasks.* Don't study lions at the zoo. One of Erik's standout metaphors urges researchers to avoid overly sanitized environments. Testing products in sterile labs might remove variables, but it also strips away the chaotic, layered reality where your product must actually succeed. Aim for the “Serengeti”—not the zoo.* Researching with kids requires creativity, play, and caution.Kids aren't small adults, they process and respond differently. Erik emphasizes using play as a language, minimizing cognitive load, and focusing on behavioral observation over verbal responses. A child saying “I loved it” means little if they looked disengaged the whole time.* Remote testing can work if grounded in real-life context. Remote methods like diary studies and follow-up interviews can capture valuable insights, especially if paired with contextual in-person research first. The key is triangulating methods and validating self-reports with observed behavior.* Think beyond usability, map the behavior chain. A product's ease of use in isolation means little if the behavior it enables is derailed by real-life obstacles. Erik illustrates this with a simple example: refilling soap sounds easy until you're cold, wet, and have other priorities. Designing for behavior means understanding the entire chain around your product.Where to find Erik:* LinkedInInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

Mike Green, chief strategist at Simplify Asset Management, says that we're living through "a period of genuine uncertainty, and a period in which forecasts that would have been made even three or four months ago no longer seem to have any real validity." He says that the current set up for a trade/tariff war is setting the economy up for a repeat of real troubles, and made comparisons as varied as the Great Depression, the Covoid downturn, the Great Financial Crisis and others, and while he is optimistic that those dire scenarios can still be avoided, he also says that investors can't rule them out. Rahul Sen Sharma, president and co-chief executive officer at Indxx discusses how global markets — and indexes representing various regions and industries around the world — are performing amid the current market uncertainty. Plus, Raymond Bridges of the Bridges Capital Tactical ETF brings his "aggressively cautious" approach — which melds macroeconomic big-picture views with technical analysis and volatility factors — to the Market Call.

Scientific credibility depends on valid research. But with growing concerns about replication failures and questionable research practices, how can scientists ensure their findings stand up to scrutiny?  In this episode, Under the Cortex explores the VALID checklist, a newly developed tool that helps researchers systematically assess the quality of their studies. Özge Gürcanlı Fischer Baum speaks with Susanne Kerschbaumer from the University of Vienna and asks how the checklist offers tailored guidance for different types of research designs. Kerschbaumer explains how the study published in APS's journal Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science addresses this important issue. Together, they discuss why validity is more than just good methodology, how researchers can avoid common pitfalls, and what the future of scientific rigor looks like.  You can access the checklist using the following link: www.validchecklist.com  If you're interested in learning more about this research, visit psychologicalscience.org.  Send us your thoughts and questions at  underthecortex@psychologicalscience.org

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. continues discussing the importance of validity and reliability in jury research and specifically talks about the use of the clopening in jury research. The clopening is a combined opening and closing statement - basically a summary presentation of the case. The issue with the clopening is that it impacts your validity and reliability because jurors don't hear clopenings in a real trial so any feedback collected is skewed. Also, in order to get the most accurate data in jury research, you have to measure immediately after the presented stimulus/information. For example, if you want feedback on your opening, you must measure immediately after the delivery of the opening. If you want feedback on a witness, the measurement must come immediately after the mock jurors hear from that witness. Waiting to gather feedback until all witnesses have been shown will not provide an accurate measurement. The most scientifically sound methodology for conducting jury research is to take measurements immediately after completing delivery of each piece of content that you want feedback on. Any other process for data collection will compromise your validity.  Watch the video of this episode: https://www.courtroomsciences.com/r/ZBE

Significant changes are currently unfolding for individuals pursuing Italian dual citizenship. A newly issued emergency decree from the Italian government introduces restrictions, including generational limits on those applying for citizenship by ancestry or jure sanguinis, while also signaling possible reforms to the recognition process through female ancestors and the overall application structure. These developments may have a considerable impact on eligibility for dual citizenship and the future of Italian citizenship by descent. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we'll learn more about how these new rules affect current and future applications, what exceptions may apply, and what to expect from the proposed legislative changes.For help with the Italian citizenship process and more information about Italian Citizenship Assistance visit ICA's website:https://ItalianCitizenshipAssistance.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team of dual-citizenship experts and attorneys you can use the contact form on the Italian Citizenship Assistance website:https://italiancitizenshipassistance.com/contact/To see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual-citizen expat check out his YouTube channel and website:Http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.com#italiancitizenship #italiandualcitizenship #dualcitizenshipTopics & Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:42 - The recent update5:35 - Validity of the Decree7:18 - Proposed changes13:00 - If and when the proposals could be approved13:38 - Review of the decree14:51 - Closing Thoughts & Outro

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. describes the scientific concepts of validity and reliability in research and why they are individually and collectively so important when conducting jury research. The question that validity helps answer is: are you measuring what you think you are measuring? Bill gives examples of how you can limit or improve your validity through witnesses and presentations in jury research. It's critically important to secure a clean read in your research and Bill explains how to achieve that.  Reliability in research refers to the consistency and repeatability of a measurement, so that if the same process is repeated under the same conditions, it should yield similar results. Having reliability in your data means you can count on the results and increases confidence in the findings to better guide decision-making on your case.

This Tuesday, don't miss a special highlight episode as we gear up for an unforgettable conversation dropping this Thursday.Wesley Huff, Central Canada Director for Apologetics Canada, shares with the guys how his debate with Billy Carson unexpectedly led to an invitation from Joe Rogan to appear on his podcast. During their conversation, Rogan seemed more open to Christianity than in the past, acknowledging Jesus as a historical figure and recognizing Christianity's value. Wes and the guys discuss the reliability of scripture, citing historical accuracy and external evidence, and recommend Scribes and Scripture for further exploration. They note a cultural shift from atheism to seeing Christianity as useful, as seen in figures like Jordan Peterson, and express hope that God is working through them. Emphasizing that salvation comes through faith rather than intellectual arguments, Wes explains that even those who witnessed Jesus' miracles did not always believe. He also touches on the formation of the biblical canon, explaining how early Christians carefully discerned which writings were truly inspired to preserve the integrity of God's word.Send us a textThanks for listening!

What does the Bible say about creation and the shape of the earth and can the Bible be trusted as a reliable source? In this episode, Amy is joined by author, speaker, and father of 8, Matt Long, who started out needing the "scientific evidence" to fully trust the Bible. Matt has spent years of research and studying the Biblical shape of the Earth, to now share with others what he believes to be true.  We also discuss why Matt believes the Bible is the most accurate and reliable collection of books in the history of the world. We break down the deception of education institutions, NASA, and other ways the world has misguided us. We share why the hope in understanding this truth about creation, truly opens your eyes to seeing every other deception that is out there. ----------------------------------------------------------- *Amy is a Christian counselor- schedule a session: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/appointments⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattsonofchris/ Matt Book: mattlongbook.com
