Abstract

The purpose of this pre-registered study (Peltier & McKenna) was to conceptually replicate if the truncation of the ordinate and DPPXYR increased analysts' estimation of a functional relation and magnitude of treatment effect. Visual analysts (n = 27) evaluated eight data sets reporting null (n = 2), small (n = 2), moderate (n = 2), and large (n = 2) effects. Each data set was graphed six times with manipulations of the ordinate and DPPXYR, resulting in 48 ABAB graphs. We estimated two separate three-level mixed effect models with variations nested in datasets and nested in participants to evaluate the impact of graph characteristics for (1) confidence in determining a functional relation and (2) the estimated magnitude of the treatment effect. We included ordinate scaling and DPPXYR at level 1 and graph effect size at level 2, including all interactions. Overall, graph manipulation consistently did not impact confidence in a functional relation. Results suggest mixed findings for graph manipulation on the estimated magnitude of the treatment effect. Findings will be couched in current literature and recommendations for graph construction and future research will be discussed.

两个初步分析改变元素的调查：正交缩放和 DPPXYR。

这项预先登记的研究（Peltier 和 McKenna）旨在从概念上复制截断纵坐标和 DPPXYR 是否会增加分析师对功能关系和治疗效果大小的估计。视觉分析师（n = 27）评估了报告无效（n = 2）、较小（n = 2）、中等（n = 2）和较大（n = 2）效应的八个数据集。对每个数据集都绘制了六次图表，并对其序数和 DPPXYR 进行了处理，最终绘制出 48 幅 ABAB 图表。我们估算了两个独立的三水平混合效应模型，分别采用数据集嵌套变化和参与者嵌套变化，以评估图形特征对（1）确定功能关系的信心和（2）治疗效果估计值的影响。我们在第 1 层纳入了纵坐标缩放和 DPPXYR，在第 2 层纳入了图形效应大小，包括所有交互作用。总体而言，图形处理始终不会影响对功能关系的信心。结果表明，图形处理对估计治疗效果的大小影响不一。研究结果将根据当前的文献进行阐述，并讨论对图表构建和未来研究的建议。

期刊介绍： For two decades, researchers and practitioners have turned to Behavior Modification for current scholarship on applied behavior modification. Starting in 1995, in addition to keeping you informed on assessment and modification techniques relevant to psychiatric, clinical, education, and rehabilitation settings, Behavior Modification revised and expanded its focus to include treatment manuals and program descriptions. With these features you can follow the process of clinical research and see how it can be applied to your own work. And, with Behavior Modification, successful clinical and administrative experts have an outlet for sharing their solutions in the field.
