title: Clarifying the Factor Structure of the Self-Compassion Scale: Nested Comparisons of Six Confirmatory Factor Analysis Models

description: Files reflect the code and output for the following study: Self-compassion is associated with greater well-being and lower psychopathology. There are mixed findings regarding the factor structure and scoring of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). Using confirmatory factor analysis, we tested and conducted nested comparisons of six previously posited factor structures of the SCS. Participants were N=1158 Canadian undergraduates (72.8% women, 26.6% men, 0.6% non-binary; Mage=19.0 [SD=2.3]). Results best supported a two-factor hierarchical model with six lower-order factors. A general self-compassion factor was not supported at the higher- or lower-order levels; thus, a single total score is not recommended. Given the hierarchical structure, researchers are encouraged to use structural equation models of the SCS with two latent variables: self-caring and self-coldness. A strength of this study is the large sample, while the undergraduate sample may limit generalizability.

title: 2019 Nova Scotia Quality of Life Survey

description: Measuring What Matters In May and June of 2019, 80 000 Nova Scotia households received an invitation in their mailboxes to participate in a first-of-its-kind survey measuring quality of life across the province. The survey asked how people feel they are doing in eight key areas related to their quality of life. Our research partners, the Canadian Index of Wellbeing, have compiled the information collected from the survey into data sets and reports. The summary results were released in March 2020 and additional reports are scheduled for release later in the year. These reports will serve as the foundation for innovative approaches to priority setting and planning at a local level for years to come. The map below shows where those regional groups are. Results The survey focused on alternative measures of progress, beyond GDP, and explored how Nova Scotians are doing in eight areas that affect their wellbeing: community vitality, living standards, healthy populations, democratic engagement, leisure and culture, time use, the environment and education. Learn more about the Eight Domains of Wellbeing. 12,827 Nova Scotians participated in our 230-question survey. This confirms our belief that they are behind the project.

title: Data from: Stable isotopes reveal minimal spatial and temporal variation in diet of the wrymouth (Cryptacanthodes maculatus)

description: Two intertidal mudflates in eastern Maine (Washington County) were sampled in this study: Larrabee Cove in Machiasport and Mud Hole Cove on Great Was Island, Beals. Wrymouth and potential prey were sampled in both mudflats in the spring and summer of 2013. Wrymouth were collected by walking on and around burrows to collapse them. Fish were collected when they surfaced (after 10-15 minutes), and immediately paralyzed in 1.0 g of Tricane-S dissolved in 1.0 liter of seawater (collection method approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee [IACUC] at University of Maine, Orono; Beal et al. 2016). Specimens were depurated for 24-48 hours and then stored at -10°C. Samples were freeze-dried prior to isotopic analysis. Algal tissue, muscle tissue from large animals, and the entire soft tissue of small animals were analyzed. Tissue samples weighed between 0.4-0.6 mg, and algal samples between 2.0-2.5 mg. Stable isotope analyses was performed using a Delta V stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) (Costech Elemental Analyzer Model 4010) in the Environmental Geochemistry Laboratory, Bates College, in Lewiston, Maine. Stable isotopes were expressed in the δ notation.Individual wrymouth were weighed to the nearest 0.1 g, and total length measured to the nearest 0.5 cm. Full and empty stomachs were weighed, and the difference was used to calculate the mass of gut contents. Contents were observed under a stereoscopic microscope at 30x and individuals classified to the lowest possible taxonomic level and recorded as present, following methods of Beal et al. (2016). Statistical analysis was conducted in R.

title: The Canadian Human Footprint

description: Abstract: Efforts are underway in Canada to set aside terrestrial lands for conservation, thereby protecting them from anthropogenic pressures. Here we produce the first Canadian human footprint map by combining twelve different anthropogenic pressures and identify intact and modified lands and ecosystems across the country. Our results showed strong spatial variation in pressures across the country, with just 18% of Canada experiencing measurable human pressure. However, some ecosystems are experiencing very high pressure, such as the Great Lakes Plains and Prairies national ecological areas which have over 75% and 56% of their areas, respectively, with a high human footprint. In contrast, the Arctic and Northern Mountains have less than 0.02% and 0.2% of their extent under high human footprint. A validation of the final map, using random statistical sampling, resulted in a Cohen Kappa statistic of 0.91, signifying an ‘almost perfect’ agreement between the human footprint and the validation data set. By increasing the number and accuracy of mapped pressures, our map demonstrates much more widespread pressures in Canada than were indicated by previous global mapping efforts, demonstrating the value in specific national data applications. Ecological areas with immense anthropogenic pressure, highlight challenges that may arise when planning for ecologically representative protected areas.

title: Alberta Survey, 2012A

description: The Population Research Laboratory (PRL), a member of the Association of Academic Survey Research Organizations (AASRO), seeks to advance the research, education and service goals of the University of Alberta by helping academic researchers and policy makers design and implement applied social science research projects. The PRL specializes in the gathering, analysis, and presentation of data about demographic, social and public issues. The PRL research team provide s expert consultation and implementation of quantitative and qualitative research methods, project design, sample design, web-based, paper-based and telephone surveys, field site testing, data analysis and report writing. The PRL follows scientifically rigorous and transparent methods in each phase of a research project. Research Coordinators are members of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and use best practices when conducting all types of research.The PRL has particular expertise in conducting computer-assisted telephone interviews (referred to as CATI surveys). When conducting telephone surveys, all calls are displayed as being from the “U of A PRL,” a procedure that assures recipients that the call is not from a telemarketer, and thus helps increase response rates. The PRL maintains a complement of highly skilled telephone interviewers and supervisors who are thoroughly trained in FOIPP requirements, respondent selection procedures, questionnaire instructions, and neutral probing. A subset of interviewers are specially trained to convince otherwise reluctant respondents to participate in the study, a practice that increases response rates and lowers selection bias. PRL staff monitors data collection on a daily basis to allow any necessary adjustments to the volume and timing of calls and respondent selection criteria The Population Research Laboratory (PRL) administered the 2012 Alberta Survey. This survey of households across the province of Alberta continues to enable academic researchers, government departments, and non-profit organizations to explore a wide range of topics in a structured research framework and environment. Sponsors’ research questions are asked together with demographic questions in a telephone interview of Alberta households. This data consists of the information from 1210 Alberta residence, interviewed between July 3, 2012 and July 18, 2012. The amount of responses indicates that the response rate, as calculated percentages representing the number of people who participated in the survey divided by the number selected in the eligible sample, was 33.6% for survey A. The subject areas included in the 2012 Alberta Survey B includes socio-demographic and background variables such as: household composition, age, gender, marital status, highest level of education, household income, religion, ethnic background, place of birth, employment status, home ownership, political party support and perceptions of financial status. In addition, this survey includes Albertan's opinions regarding the physical activity and China's role in Canada's economy.
