Study Written on One-ply?
« on: August 10, 2008, 01:33:50 PM »
There many problems of methodology inherent in the 2005 AARC study.  Here are some:

Distortions in Self-Report Data
-Social Desirability Bias
"Subjects who are influenced by this bias work overtime trying to create a favorable impression(DeMaio, 1984)"
Is it socially desirable to admit that you're using illegal drugs and drinking after your family dropped $50 000 on treatment for you?  How about after leaving a facility that maintains links to your family for years after your stay there is completed?

-Response Sets
"Some people tend to agree with nearly everything on a questionnaire(Krosnick and Fabrigar, 1998)"


Experimenter Bias
"Experimenter bias occurs when a researcher's expectations or preferences about the income of a study influence the results obtained."
The experimenters were the Executive Director of AARC; another staffer who is also a former client, wife of a former client, and sibling of multiple former clients; a board member of AARC who is also the parent of a former client turned staffer; a paid consultant to AARC; yet another faculty member of the school that has traditionally provided endorsements for AARC, as well as the Executive Director's PhD, and has in turn received money from AARC.
No double-blind was used to reduce experimenter bias.

Ajax13 disclaimer:

Warning!! He is a confirmed liar.  He has no experience with AARC and is stuck taking care of his wife who has major substance abuse issues.  So he comes on fornits to vent his anger towards places which rehabilitate because he wishes his wife had taken her chance more seriously but seems more inclined to blame others for his situation.
If you review the study AARC has one of the highest success rates of the top 5 programs:

85% of the grads are clean and sober after 4 years and
93% are clean and sober after their first 12 months after graduating.

Has the bottom dropped right out?  It must be very upsetting to realize that you're desperately trying to shut up someone simply because they criticize the leader.  Meanwhile, the Wiz sits back while you dance for him.

I wasn't aware there was a bottom.

(I will say this, though- if I WAS the Wiz's bottom, I'd head over to the Power Exchange and find someone else RIGHT QUICK! BDSM is safe, sane, and consensual. AARC has none of these qualities.)
