Unified Motive Scales published (31.08.2012)
The UMS are the result of a joint analysis of 14 existing and 7 new motive scales for achievement, power, affiliation, and intimacy. Based on item response theory, they provide higher measurement precision in a wider range of the traits with fewer items than existing questionnaires. Short scales for round robin designs are available. For more details, visit UMS.

TripleR is a "Google Summer of Code" 2010 project!(03.05.2010)
Google sponsors each summer about 1000 open source software projects (the "Google Summer of Code", GSoC). Students can apply for a funded project within an open source organization - Last week, TripleR, the R package for round robin analyses, received one of the coveted GSoC 2010 slots (along with 4 other great R projects)!
Felix Schönbrodt (as the applying student) and Stefan Schmukle (as the project's mentor) now will start to extend and optimize the package. Major milestones are:
- A thorough documentation
- Handling of missing values + a documentation of the approach
- Adding of multiple group support
- First functions for handling full block designs
You can follow the development and post bugs on R-Forge. If you're interested in using the package, feel free to contact the authors, e.g. felix@nicebread.de
Working on handling of missing values in round robin designs (21.09.2009)
We are currently working on adjusting the formulas for round robin analyses in TripleR for the presence of missing values. First simulation studies show very promising results; a TripleR version capable of handling missing values will be released next month on R-Forge.
