| Title: | Scoring Q-Sort Data |
|---|---|
| Description: | Computes scores from Q-sort data, using criteria sorts and derived scales from subsets of items. The 'qsort' package includes descriptions and scoring procedures for four different Q-sets commonly used in developmental psychology research: Attachment Q-set (version 3.0) (Waters, 1995, <doi:10.1111/j.1540-5834.1995.tb00214.x>); California Child Q-set (Block and Block, 1969, <doi:10.1037/0012-1649.21.3.508>); Maternal Behaviour Q-set (version 3.1) (Pederson et al., 1999, <https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1000&context=psychologypub>); Preschool Q-set (Baumrind, 1968 revised by Wanda Bronson, <doi:10.1111/j.1540-5834.1995.tb00214.x>). |

A list containing four hypothetical Q-sort datasets: Attachment Q-set (aqs; version 3.0) (Waters, 1995); California Child Q-set (ccq; Block and Block, 1969); Maternal Behaviour Q-set (version 3.1) (mbqs; Pederson et al., 1999); Preschool Q-set (pq; Baumrind, 1968 revised by Wanda Bronson).
ex_qsortex_qsort
Data frames with 10 rows and a variable number of columns, depending on the number of Q-set items (aqs = 90, ccq = 100, mbqs = 90, pq = 72)
Subject identification.
Group identification.
Items' scores.
For these examples, items were given random scores (1 to 9; least to most characteristic respectively) following a rectangular distribution. For the ccq Q-set this corresponds to placing 11 items in each of the 9 categories, plus an additional one in the center category (i.e., 12 items in category 5). For the remaining Q-sets all the 9 categories include the same number of items (aqs = 10, mbqs = 10, pq = 8).

qsort_score returns a data frame with scores derived from criteria Q-sorts and from scales created from subsets of items.

x |
data frame. x should be in wide format, with each subject data in one row and the scores for qset items in different columns. Columns for qset items' scores should be ordered sequentially from left to right, starting with item 1. |
qset |
A data frame containing Q-set criterion scores and / or derived scales. For details see for example ?qset_aqs, ?qset_cqq, ?qset_mbqs and ?qset_pq. |
qsort_length |
The number of items in the qsort. |
item1 |
Column name of x containing item 1 score |
subj_id |
Optional. Column name of x with subjects' identification codes. |
group_id |
Optional. Column name of x with groups' identification codes. |
qsort_score function returns a data frame. This data frame will have a varying number of columns depending on the number of available criteria sorts and scales for the selected Q-set. Column names ending in "_c" refer to criteria sorts' scores, while column names ending in "_s" refer to scales' scores. Following Waters et al.'s (1985) suggestion about the influence of social desirability bias in Q-sort data, for Q-sets that have social desirability criterion scores, this data frame will also include criteria sorts' scores controlled for social desirability (i.e., partial correlations). Column names starting with "partial_" refer to these scores. The different criteria sorts and scales for each Q-set can be consulted in the documentation of qsets object (?qsets).
