Nonetheless, nonexperimental research cannot exclude the potential effects of self-selection, that is, the possibility that some unsuspected factor perhaps even something genetic induces both religiosity and neighborliness, producing a spurious correlation, so that simply forcing people to attend church more often would not make them more neighborly. ❋ Robert D. Putnam (2010)
But often that is still a fairly narrow slice of the population -- usually younger people, and by self-selection an audience that will more readily accept what the professor professes students are not randomly assigned to classes, after all. ❋ L. Randall Wray (2011)
Building upon the theories of self-selection and adaptive learning, students should have a choice in determining how they learn online. ❋ Julie Young (2011)
This self-selection greatly favors candidates from the extremes. ❋ Robert Stavins (2011)
Armed with a strategy focused on student self-selection and choice, applying the power of performance data, adaptive learning tools and a focus on hiring teachers truly fit for virtual pedagogy, e-Learning can be successful in developing the 21st Century skills required for achievement in an increasingly virtual world. ❋ Julie Young (2011)
I believe the point is that there is a significant self-selection bias inherent in the survey. ❋ Unknown (2010)
After a significant number of banks are declared “good”, make inspections random rather than self-selection. ❋ Unknown (2009)
I won't go too much into the self-selection issues related to the sample; these data are not a representative sample of 2010 Democrats, they are members of a recruited panel from 2008 that have agreed to participate in repeated surveys via the internet. ❋ David C. Wilson (2010)
In helping them to develop a sense of ownership in the virtual learning process due to its highly independent nature, students will begin to assert self-selection -- which is ultimately key to their achievement in this format. ❋ Julie Young (2011)
This probably indicates a self-selection bias, but it would be interesting to probe the extent of this. ❋ Unknown (2009)
I suspect that in general there is an inverse correlation between scholarship and the sorts of skills required for being a Dean (though this may be corrected by self-selection). ❋ Unknown (2010)
There's a lot of both selective memory and self-selection among people who talk about how the urban public schools worked so well back then. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Or it could turn out there will be self-selection, with each population happy to continue its policies. ❋ Unknown (2009)
