We surveyed all articles in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Science, and the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General that mentioned the term "Likert," and found that 100% of the articles that analyzed ordinal data did so using a metric model. We demonstrate that analyzing ordinal data as if they were metric can systematically lead to errors. We demonstrate false alarms (i.e., detecting an effect where none exists, Type~I errors) and failures to detect effects (i.e., loss of power, Type~II errors). We demonstrate systematic inversions of effects, for which treating ordinal data as metric indicates the opposite ordering of means than the true ordering of means. We show the same problems --- false alarms, misses, and inversions --- for interactions in factorial designs and for trend analyses in regression. We demonstrate that averaging across multiple ordinal measurements does not solve or even ameliorate these problems. We provide simple graphical explanations of why these mistakes occur. Moreover, we point out that there is no sure-fire way to detect these problems by treating the ordinal values as metric, and instead we advocate use of ordered-probit models (or similar) because they will better describe the data. Finally, although frequentist approaches to some ordered-probit models are available, we use Bayesian methods because of their flexibility in specifying models and their richness and accuracy in providing parameter estimates.
During the past decade, field experiments in the social and behavioral sciences have gained in popularity as the internet has made implementing experiments easier, cheaper, and faster. However, although researchers may have a conceptual knowledge of how experiments work, the actual experience of implementing a field experiment for the first time is often frustrating and time consuming. Researchers without prior experience often struggle with a number of issues such as navigating IRB, obtaining true random sampling and assignment, understanding blocking, and interpreting different types of treatment effects. The initial learning curve may be steep but the rewards are plentiful as experiments produce highly valued original data, lend themselves to causal analysis in ways that traditional survey data cannot, and become easier to implement as a researcher’s experience level increases. This talk will introduce social scientists to the basics of a particular type of field experiment -- the correspondence audit -- and walk through a number of design issues that first time users often struggle with. Dr. Gaddis will provide practical examples from his own and others' work to illuminate some of the pitfalls of this method and help the audience gain confidence in embarking on their own field experiments.
This workshop will include an introduction to proposal writing and best practices, as well as a discussion of funding opportunities for social science and social science methodology.

Richard Horwitz’s photojournalism career was born of a series of right decisions made at the right time.
It was a career that took him to all 50 states and 76 countries, that traversed multiple technological paradigm shifts in the photography and media worlds, and that supplied him more than an ordinary lifetime’s worth of adventures.
Horwitz, who grew up in Illinois, planned to study astronomy in college. A high school advisor suggested he consider Indiana University. That’s when he made what he considers to be the first of his right decisions: He visited, fell in love immediately and ultimately enrolled.
Having learned to shoot photos in high school, Horwitz joined the Arbutusyearbook as a staff photographer and quickly began to dedicate more time to his work there than to his regular classes. Concurrently, he found his dreams of pursuing astronomy soured by required math courses.
His next major decision came: During his sophomore year, Horwitz spoke to department chairman John Stempel about changing his major from astronomy to journalism. It would require extra work, but it was worth it.
“I don’t know where I would be today if I had stayed in astronomy,” Horwitz said.
Horwitz also freelanced for the Associated Press, photographing sports and other assignments. After earning his bachelor’s degree in journalism in 1963 and his master’s degree in education with an audiovisual communication specialization in 1964, he took a full-time job with the AP in New York City. But the big city lifestyle wasn’t for him, so when a position on the Washington photo desk opened up, he applied for it — just in time for the Watergate scandal.
In 1989, after decades of work in New York, Washington, Boston and Chicago, he became the AP’s European photo network director, a position that took him to London.
The photojournalism profession evolved significantly during Horwitz’s 27-year career. As a college student and young AP photographer, Horwitz shot his work on film and transmitted photos via wire. His final assignment with the AP was to establish a commercial picture agency using the AP satellite to deliver digital pictures to newsrooms.
Most of the job of picture editor is behind the scenes: assigning photographers, coordinating with stories, choosing pictures, writing captions and transmitting photos. Sometimes he also picked up a camera.
Horwitz said the most rewarding part of his career was always the adventures. In 1976, a cargo tanker ship broke in half and sank off Nantucket. His aerial view was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
In the midst of it all, his passion for astronomy found its place. He’s traveled to photograph a total of 15 eclipses, most notably a 1972 eclipse off the African coast and a 1979 eclipse in Canada. Both were used on the front page of The New York Times. He witnessed Apollo 11’s takeoff for the first moon landing.
And there wasn’t a mite of math involved.
Since 1968, John Rappaport has brought laughter, fun and drama into the lives of the American public as a writer and producer of such all-time television classics as Laugh-In, All in the Family and M*A*S*H.
Born in Chicago and raised in Highland Park, Illinois, Rappaport enrolled at IU in fall 1958. He began as a business major, but switched to radio and television/psychology midway through his sophomore year after joining the Indiana Memorial Union Radio Club and hosting a Sunday night jazz record show on WTTS-AM.
As a junior, Rappaport continued his jazzy ways on the powerful WFIU-FM from IU’s Radio-TV Quonset hut. There, he hosted a daily afternoon show of jazz albums and improvised chatter. Rappaport also dabbled in standup comedy, performing at the “Freshman Tyrolean” dance and “Spring Fling” and serving as emcee during the two-day IU Sing competition at the IU Auditorium.
Rappaport had a pattern of making spontaneous life-altering decisions. After leaving IU in January 1963, he moved back to the Chicago area, where he worked as a pop — but not rock — DJ. Nine months later, at 3 a.m. after a New Year’s Eve party during a major snowstorm, he blew a tire on Chicago’s tri-state tollway and had to change it in a suit and no coat.
The next day, he quit his job and moved to California, hoping to be a DJ in a more agreeable climate.
Initially, only the climate was agreeable. After stints as an ad agency copywriter, radio station promotion manager, DJ’s comedy sidekick and syndicated radio comedy writer, Rappaport launched his new career in 1969 when his spec material landed him a staff writing gig on the No. 1 TV show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. He wrote for the show until its cancellation in 1973. During his four years there, he penned 100 episodes and also wrote two comedy specials, including the Emmy-nominated first Lily Tomlin Special.
Itching to break out of the sketch comedy mold, he landed a pitch meeting and then a script assignment at another No. 1-rated show, All in the Family. The script was a hit, and he was hired by Norman Lear as a staff story editor, splitting time between All in the Family and its sizzling spinoff, Maude.
He next moved to The Odd Couple and eventually the legendary war dramedy, M*A*S*H, where he served as head writer and supervising producer for its final four years, topped off with the two-and-a-half hour finale, which was the most viewed episode in television history.
Rappaport also wrote and produced seven pilots for his company, Leeway Productions (named after his wife, Lee) and worked on films featuring screen legends Jane Fonda, Richard Dreyfuss and Burt Reynolds, and The Godfather producer Al Ruddy. He also spent a season on Night Court and was the executive producer of Gung Ho.
Along the way, Rappaport garnered eight primetime Emmy nominations, four People’s Choice Awards, five Writers Guild Best Script award nominations, three Humanitas Prizes and a Golden Globe. He also served on the Producers Guild of America Board of Directors for 14 years and is in the National Association of Broadcasters and the Producers Guild of America halls of fame.
To top it all off, two of his three L.A.-born and -raised children are graduates and devoted lovers of IU.
This lecture presents results of a project on folk medicine among Latinx in Los Angeles in which 131 interviews were conducted with 49 individuals, more than half of whom were healers associated with botánicas. Contrary to a number of previous reports, research data reveal that the healers were not poorly educated, unsophisticated, or adversaries of biomedical care; that clientele were not exclusively Latinx; and that a number of long-standing assumptions in works on Latinx healing traditions should be reassessed. The present study of ethnomedical treatment offers insight into needs and concerns that could inform the healthcare profession in regard to one of the largest and most underserved populations in the US.
Diana Hadley has dedicated her career to educating and advocating for new generations of journalists.
After earning a bachelor’s degree from Purdue in 1971, Hadley took a job at Mooresville High School, where she taught English, speech and journalism for more than 30 years. Despite having no journalism experience, she was assigned to advise the school’s newspaper and teach a journalism course. Incidentally, that was perhaps the single most significant assignment of her life.
“It was the best thing I did, and it was a happy accident,” she said.
Through teaching and advising, she developed an admiration for journalism, which inspired her to pursue a master’s degree in journalism from Indiana University. It took eight years to complete. Although it was challenging to continue to teach, advise publications and earn a master’s degree, dean Richard Gray and advisor Mary Benedict scheduled classes after 4 p.m. and during the summer, allowing Hadley to attend. The rich experience forged a loyalty to IU and the High School Journalism Institute she maintained for the rest of her career.
Hadley spent 10 years advising Mooresville’s television news outlet, 23 advising the school’s yearbook staff and all 33 advising its newspaper staff.
Hadley established the school’s television news outlet when the school received a gift of free broadcast equipment. She developed a broadcast class in which students produced the morning and afternoon announcements. She came to school at 6:30 a.m. every day to supervise her students.
In 1986, Hadley received the Indiana High School Press Association’s Ella Sengenberger Adviser of the Year award. In 1996, she was named Distinguished Adviser of the Year by the Dow Jones News Fund. In 2000, she was a finalist for the Indiana Department of Education’s Teacher of the Year award.
In 2004, after retiring from Mooresville, Hadley began a part-time job at Franklin College as assistant director of IHSPA and part-time instructor in Franklin’s journalism school. She eventually became director of IHSPA and served in that role for 13 years.
Though she didn’t directly advise a high school newspaper or yearbook staff, Hadley continued to dedicate herself to improving the field of high school journalism. She corresponded with high school journalism advisors seeking advice and trekked across Indiana to assist teachers and advisors as they struggled through administrative hassles, freedom of press issues and any other problem that might plague a high school newspaper.
Hadley also started a First Amendment Day at the Statehouse each March — giving up to 400 high school students the opportunity to observe the legislative process — and coordinated the evaluation of hundreds of newspapers and yearbooks to create an annual statewide awards program. She also taught at IU’s High School Journalism Institute for more than 30 summers.
Hadley retired from IHSPA in 2017.
Hadley has received honors and recognition from the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame, the Indiana State Teachers Association, the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, the Indiana Department of Education, the Independent Colleges of Indiana and the Woman’s Press Club of Indiana/National Federation of Press Women. In 2017, she received a Sagamore of the Wabash.
In episode 77, Janae Cummings speaks to Dan Calarco, chief of staff for IU's vice president for information technology, and Von Welch, director of IU's Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research. The trio discuss cybersecurity, two-factor login, and the challenges of staying safe online.

This study examines the South Korean cyberfeminist community Womad, a community currently under fire in South Korea due to its exclusionary politics, i.e. its antagonism towards anyone (biologically) male and (ethnically) Korean. In this project, The study reveals how Womad’s “medium specificity” (i.e. its platform) interacts with South Korea’s “national specificity” in specific ways that results in the “technological assemblage” that is Womad. By amassing individual postings through data crawling, the project uses computerized text analysis to (1) reveal the technical difficulties underlying textual analysis of Korean online communities in general (2) examine the kinds of topics that this specific community engages with (3) investigate which topics are most popular/unpopular within the community (thus accruing more upvotes/downvotes).
As webserve has done away with Digital Media and encourages folks to put video on Kaltura, I have developed a plugin that allows you to playback Kaltura video in Omeka. This plugin, which will also allow the playback of video from Youtube as well, will allow those who need to use video in Omeka to use Kaltura to store their videos and playback in an Omeka site. I will demo the setup and use of this plugin in Omeka.
In recent years, concern over the longevity of physical audio and video (AV) formats due to media degradation and obsolescence, combined with decreasing cost of digital storage, have led libraries and archives to embark on projects to digitize recordings for purposes of long-term preservation and improved access. IU's Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative (MDPI) is one of those projects, estimated to digitize 325,000 audio and video items and 25,000 film items overall. Beyond digitization, in order to facilitate discovery and research use, AV materials must also be described, but many items and collections lack sufficient metadata. Join us to learn more about a planned project at IU with experts from University of Texas at Austin School of Information and AVP to create a technology platform and workflow to support the incremental application of both automated and human-based processes to create and augment metadata at large scales for AV collections. The project is called AMP: Audiovisual Metadata Platform.
3D digitization, born-digital 3D objects, and Virtual Reality (VR) - the techniques to create these kinds of items and the access and scholarly research applications for these items within libraries and cultural heritage institutions are becoming more real (and less virtual) as costs come down and technical equipment becomes more friendly to use. IU already has 3D digital collections that are actively growing. We need a way to describe these items so they are discoverable and accessible for research use, even when that means extremely large files that can require specialized software to recreate or evaluate the models. We also need to be able to preserve 3D digital and VR objects. This talk will consider how we can accomplish these goals, the work currently occurring among libraries and cultural heritage institutions, and how best to apply metadata in the third dimension.

Summary:
Are you eager to try new forms of assignments but are not sure where to start? Looking for resources to help students build engaging and interactive final projects? In this workshop, we'll explore alternatives to the essay, ranging from digital maps to interactive digital posters to video and multimedia. Like essays, these assignments give students the opportunity to demonstrate their mastery of course material, but they go one step further by helping students learn and refine digital skills. As we consider examples, we'll discuss best practices for designing assignment instructions and grading rubrics as well as identify local resources for training, tools, and equipment. Presented by Mary Borgo Ton.
A Conversation with Tom Davenport, an interview sponsored by the American Folklore Society and the AFS Oral History Project of Tom Davenport (Folkstreams) by Tom Rankin (Duke University) about his life and work. Tom Davenport received the 2018 Judith McCulloh Award for lifetime service to the field at the Buffalo meeting. This interview took place at the American Folklore Society's 130th Annual Meeting at the Buffalo Niagara County Convention Center, in Buffalo, New York, on October 18-20, 2018.
Digital mapping offers a variety of options that range in complexity from dropping a point on your smartphone's mapping application to analyzing statistical differences in different geographies to warping geography for historical or artistic purposes. In addition to learning digital mapping methodology for humanist and social sciences research, and adapting mapping tools for artistic practice, we will discuss the critical application of these tools and how they can be used effectively in the classroom.
Researchers often get contradictory advice from professors, colleagues, reviewers, and textbooks on how to deal with clustering across time and space. Economists argue strongly for “fixed effects” models. Psychologists and statisticians more typically push for “mixed effects” models. Most applied researchers in the social sciences are told to use a Hausman test to decide between fixed and random effects. This is complicated by the fact that different disciplines, articles, and books use very different terminology and notation to describe models. This lecture will walk participants through the basic problems of clustered data and translate the solutions from economics, psychology, and statistics into a common language. We will focus on how to make practical decisions on model choices for linear and nonlinear models, what problems can crop up, and how to describe/justify your methods to different audiences.
In this workshop, you will learn how to extract web data with Beautiful Soup, a Python library for extracting data out of HTML- and XML-structured documents. You will also learn the basics of scraping and parsing data. In this hands-on workshop, we will also be using the DataCamp platform and participants are requested to have a free account with DataCamp prior the workshop.
This workshop is open to anyone, and previous knowledge of Python is not required.
This talk will present a set of standards for the replication documentation (data, code, and supporting information) that authors should assemble and make public when they release studies reporting the results of research based on analysis of statistical data. We will begin from first principles: What purposes is replication documentation intended to serve? And what must be true of the contents and organization of the documentation for a study if it is to fulfill those purposes? We will then describe how these general principles are embodied in the particular documentation standards we propose. Further discussion will include: (i) a comparison of our proposed standards with existing guidelines, such as TOPS, DA-RT, the BITSS Manual, and the "data policies" that have been adopted by a number of prominent journals, (ii) using the Open Science Framework (OSF), an on-line file management platform, for assembling and sharing replication documentation, and (iii) the curricular resources that are being produced by Project TIER for teaching and learning reproducible research methods.
Python has become the lead instrument for Data Scientists to collect, clean, and analyze data. As a general purpose programming language, Python is flexible and well-suited to handle large datasets. This workshop is designed for Social Scientists, who are interested in using Python, but have no idea where to start. Our goal is to "de-mystify" Python and to teach Social Scientists how to manipulate and examine data that deviate from the clean, rectangular survey format. Computers with Python pre-loaded are available in the SSRC on a first-come, first-served basis. This workshop is intended for social scientists who are new to programming. No experience required.

In episode 87, we feature an early-release episode of a mini-series from the College of Arts and Sciences featuring three alumni who received awards from the College this year. This episode is about award-winning author, journalist, and music critic Anthony DeCurtis.
Two major innovators in digital cultural documentation meet for a conversation on goals, methods, frameworks, and business models. Michael Frisch, Professor Emeritus of the University of Buffalo and former president of both the Oral History Association and the American Studies Association, has recently created a consulting firm, Randforce Associates, to develop software for indexing and annotating audio and video documentation. P. Sainath received the 2007 Ramon Magsaysay Award (the “Asian Nobel”) for his “passionate commitment as a journalist to restore the rural poor to India’s national consciousness.” He is Founder-Editor of the crowdfunded, volunteer-sustained People’s Archive of Rural India.
Richard Dorson was right seeing the antiquarians as the precursors of the study of folklore. Many of them recorded information on “traditions.” However, he did not really understand the rationale behind their work, mixed up in Tudor politics, especially the religious aspects. (The “first” work on folklore in English is an anti-“Puritan” tract.) When Herder and the Grimm Brothers came along in the 18th and early 19th centuries, there was already a body of lore in English which could be transferred to fit in with their ideas. The Grimm Brothers, and the “antiquary-folklorist” Thomas Wight are responsible for developing ideas about survivals, an idea to influence folklore and anthropology for 75 years.
Lecture delivered by Jane E. Schultz, PhD (Professor of English and Medical Humanities at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis) on December 5, 2018 in conjunction with the National Library of Medicine's "Life and Limb" traveling exhibit hosted by the Ruth Lilly Medical Library. Presentation includes representation of surgeon-soldier interactions from surgical letters, diaries, and memoirs; what happens when language fails to summarize and describe, despite surgeons' fluency in the clinical register; and literary observations about historical narrative.
