Mellinger, Christopher D. and Thomas A. Hanson 2024 Psychometric properties of survey translations: A simulation studyTranslation and Interpreting at the Interface of Cognition and Emotion, Rojo López, Ana María and Purificación Meseguer Cutillas (eds.), pp. 159–185 | Article
Psychometrics involves the indirect measurement of latent constructs, including aspects of cognition and emotion, and Likert-type scales are a common tool to operationalize and quantify these constructs. One threat to the psychometric properties of such scales is the administration of surveys… read more
Renewed interest in research methods used in cognitive translation and interpreting studies (CTIS) has led to increased reflection on the nature of research and experimental design, internal and external validity, and the type and nature of experimental tasks. Of particular concern is the extent… read more
Hanson, Thomas A. and Christopher D. Mellinger 2021 Chapter 4. An information asymmetry framework for strategic translation policy in multinational corporationsTranslating Asymmetry – Rewriting Power, Carbonell i Cortés, Ovidi and Esther Monzó-Nebot (eds.), pp. 77–99 | Chapter
The size and scope of multinational corporations in the globalized and interconnected modern economy has increased the need for language services to facilitate a broad range of cross-language communication. Much of the prior research on language in international business has emphasized a… read more
Mellinger, Christopher D. and Thomas A. Hanson 2020 Meta-analysis and replication in interpreting studiesInterpreting 22:1, pp. 140–149 | Discussion
Mellinger, Christopher D. and Thomas A. Hanson 2019 Meta-analyses of simultaneous interpreting and working memoryInterpreting 21:2, pp. 165–195 | Article
This article adopts a meta-analytic research framework to examine the strength of the relationship between working memory and simultaneous interpreting. This quantitative analysis utilizes a random effects model to combine multiple studies in an examination of differences between professional… read more
Mellinger, Christopher D. and Thomas A. Hanson 2018 Interpreter traits and the relationship with technology and visibilityCommunity Interpreting, Translation, and Technology, Pokorn, Nike K. and Christopher D. Mellinger (eds.), pp. 366–392 | Article
Research on technology and interpreting regularly investigates technology-mediated interpreting settings and contrasts various interpreting configurations to better understand how technology changes the interpreting task. This scholarship generally does not account for various personality or… read more
Mellinger, Christopher D. and Thomas A. Hanson 2018 Order effects in the translation processTranslation, Cognition & Behavior 1:1, pp. 1–20 | Article
This study investigates how the order in which various translation memory match-types occur in a target language version of a text may influence translator behavior and cognition. Empirical research designs often attempt to mitigate for possible confounds from order effects, yet explicit… read more
