The Affective Profiles Model: 20 Years of Research and Beyond
- 2023
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This timely volume provides an up-to-date exploration of the affective profiles model, a person-centered means of understanding the affective system. It presents the etiology underpinning the affective system and compares the model with other existing personality models, such as the Big Five Model, and the Cloninger’s Biopsychosocial Model. Most important, it examines the affective profiles model in relation to well-being, which includes life satisfaction, as well as psychological health. As such, it illuminates the problems of depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Based on a wealth of longitudinal and cross-cultural studies, this book offers a critical view of the affective profiles model that will enrich both further research and practice.

Statistical Semantics - Methods and Applications
- 2019
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Traditionally, research strategies have been divided into one of two camps – quantitative or qualitative. In the former case analysis is based on numerical data and in the latter case it is based on non-numerical data. The advantages and disadvantages of these two approaches have been discussed extensively throughout the history of science. Typically, quantitative approaches have been argued to provide a more rigorous and objective testing of hypothesis but criticized to overlook the richness of texts and verbal reports. On the other hand, it has been argued that qualitative approaches are able to capture the nuances of verbal reports but criticized for being less rigorous where data cannot be precisely analyzed with statistical methods, as well as being time consuming and where the outcome may depend on, among other things, the qualities of researcher. That is, qualitative and quantitative approaches have previously been seen as two islands separated by a vast ocean, where we hope that this book will provide a bridge between these areas. The aim of this book is to propose an approach where quantitative methods are applied to data that earlier was limited to qualitative research. To emphasize the quantitative aspects of semantic, and the possibilities of conducting scientific interferences, we introduce the concept of statistical semantics as a theme of the book. We present the reader to a subset of techniques found in the domain of statistical semantics. More specifically, this book focus on methods that allow the investigation of semantic relationships between words based on empirical corpus data. The present book do not provide a comprehensive overview of the field of statistical semantics but rather an accessible hands-on introduction to a selection of techniques compared to other available textbooks.
