outcome of author's initial conversation re SPM 2 Manual (2-13-17)

[Ateac...@aol.com]

Hi John,

Though we did not finish reviewing our notes re the SPM 2 Manual, I have put together the notes we made following our meeting on 2-13-17.

 

As we are planning to continue reviewing our notes on Monday 2-27-17 , I thought you might take a quick look at what we did thus far to let us know if this will work for you. We did not meet this week because of President's Day.

 

See attached.

 

Thanks,

Diana.

Sounds good — one thing that would be very helpful for me after your call is if you would indicate which sections of which chapters you would like to expand. Then I can provide for that space in the chapter outline. That way you all can focus on the writing and I can manage the structure of the manual, which is 5 chapters: intro; admin/scoring; interpretation; construction/standardization; psychometrics. Same as SPM and SPM-P, and every other WPS behavior rating scale.

Hi John,

Yes, having only the one example of charades should work.

 

We will get back to you after our initial meeting re the Manual, next Monday. 
I  have been taking notes since we began working on the SPM 2, especially related to concepts we want to explain in more detail than we did in our first two Manuals.

 

Onwards and upwards!

Diana

Thanks, everyone – this looks good. I need to change one item: “I have trouble coming up with ideas for games such as charades or Pictionary.” We try to stay away from copyrighted names for a number of reasons. We can change it so it just uses charades as the example.

 

Sounds good re manual. I have begun drafting an outline. I think a good way to work on this would be chapter by chapter, perhaps starting with chapter 1. Let me know the outcome of your initial conversation and I can put a working draft together.

 

Talk to you soon…

 

John

Hi John,

Today, we completed the revisions of both the Adult Self-Report and the Adult Informant forms.

See attached.

We will be meeting again next week to discuss the Manual.

 

BTW, we received the card from WPS announcing the SPM 2 data collection. Very exciting!

 

Best wishes,

Diana

All,

 

Thanks for your work on the Adult forms – we look forward to receiving them. We should be able to get those studies up and running pretty quickly once we have those back from you…

Hi all,

 

Great that you all are taking the time to discuss these things now. Nothing in your document looks too crazy, so keep going. The main thing you will need to consider is what new elements you want to write and where they will go. The manual is going to be structured just like SPM and SPM-P – so think about whether these are more introductory issues about the instrument itself (i.e., Chapter 1), or more interpretive issues about the meaning of the scores (i.e., Chapter 3). On the technical side (e.g., Chapter 5), we can run whatever analyses we want, though I would not expect to find too much of interest. We’ll also want to be careful to not overstate a lack of findings. The SPM-2 is going to stand on its own merits.

 

A word on PROCESS: in the coming weeks I will be putting together a comprehensive outline of the SPM-2 manual – what I would ask you to do is please use that outline to make your final decisions about what new content you wish to include, and then we can build in some space for it. You don’t need to send me anything more in the meantime – that outline will be our foundational document and I will rely on you all to hone your content to your own satisfaction while I work on the more boilerplate stuff like tables etc.

 

I am still putting the adult form through the final proofing and loading phases.

 

How does that sound?

 

John

Sounds good John.

Thank you.
