Current Approaches to Interest Measurement
Fri, April 4, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 121CSession Type: Structured Poster Session
Abstract
For interest research and theory to continue to develop, it is essential for researchers to be able to accurately formulate and test hypotheses based on understanding measurements and approaches in current use. This poster session is designed to provide its participants with the opportunity to review the measures their peers are using to assess interest, even if their disciplinary content or age group varies. The poster format allows consideration of measures and the contexts in which they are being used. The session brings together a diverse group of researchers, all of whom measure interest albeit with differences of questions and methods. Session discussants will reflect on questions posed, as well as the potential of neuroscience to provide complementary measures.
