Social disorganisation theory and violent crime: A spatial-econometric analysis of Chicago and Sydney
… Theory. Social Disorganisation Theory (SDT) is introduced in terms of its formulation in response to highly specific conditions arising in Chicago, as well as its adoption of methodological and theoretical developments from existing traditions. This specificity belies its breadth of …

Gamification for a healthier lifestyle – user adherence
… Techniques (BCTs) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to tackle the issue of behavior change and user adherence. BCTs are techniques to help individuals change their behavior to adapt to a healthy lifestyle, and SDT is a theory in which individuals motivate themselves. The pilots were conducted to …

The contribution of self-determination theory to an understanding of psychological distress among young adults: Mediation of practical involvement and autonomy support by autonomy, controlled, and impersonal orientations
<p>The concept of autonomy, as conceptualized by SDT researchers, in relationship to the development of psychopathology has received little empirical attention. According to Selfdetermination theory (SDT; Ryan, Deci, & Grolnick, 1995), if parents facilitate, rather than undermine, the critical …

Effects Of An Intervention To Promote Stair Use In A University Building
… Key concepts from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and a sub-theory of SDT, Organismic Integration Theory (OIT) were integrated into the messages of the posters and emails encouraging stair use among employees of the building. Twelve motivational signs were placed in the stairwells and in front …

The Effect of Functional Movement Control on Patient-Reported Outcomes in Individuals with Non-Arthritic Hip Pain
… for the following measures: VAS for SLST and SDT, HOS-ADL for the SLST and SDT, HOS-SRA for the SLST and SDT, % - ADL for the SLST and SDT, and % - SRA for the SLST. There was not a statistically significant difference for the % - SRA for the SDT (p=.094). There was a statistically significant …

On the Use of Covariates in a Latent Class Signal Detection Model, with Applications to Constructed Response Scoring
A latent class signal detection (SDT) model was recently introduced as an alternative to traditional item response theory (IRT) methods in the analysis of constructed response data. This class of models can be represented as restricted latent class models and differ from the IRT approach in the way …

Rater Drift in Constructed Response Scoring via Latent Class Signal Detection Theory and Item Response Theory
… models - latent class signal detection theory (SDT) and item response theory (IRT) models. Rater effects (e.g., leniency and strictness) are partly examined with simulations, where the ability of different models to capture changes in rater behavior is studied. Drift is also examined in two …
