Alexandru Cernat; Vera Toepoel – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2024
Most of the social science research is based on the implied assumption that measurement error is the same across key socio-demographic groups and all differences in key statistics of interest are real.

Careers work is a very political business.

Parker, Philip D.; Marsh, Herbert W.; Guo, Jiesi; Anders, Jake; Shure, Nikki; Dicke, Theresa – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2018

The IDM combines psychological biases on frame-of-reference effects with sociological foci on ability stratification. This combination is hypothesized to lead to working-class children having more positive math self-beliefs and…
