A Network Analysis of Digital Clock Drawing for Command and Copy Conditions Assessment (IF 4.282) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 Brandon Frank, Sabyasachi Bandyopadhyay, Catherine Dion, Erin Formanski, Emily Matusz, Dana Penney, Randall Davis, Maureen K. O’Connor, Rhoda Au, Shawna Amini, Parisa Rashidi, Patrick Tighe, David J. Libon, Catherine C. Price
Graphomotor and time-based variables from the digital Clock Drawing Test (dCDT) characterize cognitive functions. However, no prior publications have quantified the strength of the associations between digital clock variables as they are produced. We hypothesized that analysis of the production of clock features and their interrelationships, as suggested, will differ between the command and copy test

Assessing Between- and Within-Person Reliabilities of Items and Scale for Daily Procrastination: A Multilevel and Dynamic Approach Assessment (IF 4.282) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 Xiaohui Luo, Yueqin Hu, Hongyun Liu
Intensive longitudinal data (ILD) has been collected to capture the dynamic fluctuations of procrastination; however, researchers have typically measured daily procrastination by modifying trait measures (e.g., adding a time reference “today”) without adequately testing their reliabilities. The main purpose of this study was to use an advanced approach, dynamic structural equation modeling, to assess

Measuring Process Factors of Fluid Reasoning Using Multidimensional Computerized Adaptive Testing Assessment (IF 4.282) Pub Date : 2024-03-16 Hanif Akhtar, Kristof Kovacs
Although many fluid reasoning (Gf) tests have been developed, there is a lack of figural tests measuring its lower-order process factors simultaneously. The present article introduces the development of the Multidimensional Induction-Deduction Computerized Adaptive Test (MID-CAT) to measure two process factors of Gf. The MID-CAT is designed to provide an instrument that is flexible, efficient, and

Good Fit Is Weak Evidence of Replication: Increasing Rigor Through Prior Predictive Similarity Checking Assessment (IF 4.282) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 Wes Bonifay, Sonja D. Winter, Hanamori F. Skoblow, Ashley L. Watts
Replication provides a confrontation of psychological theory, not only in experimental research, but also in model-based research. Goodness of fit (GOF) of the original model to the replication data is routinely provided as meaningful evidence of replication. We demonstrate, however, that GOF obscures important differences between the original and replication studies. As an alternative, we present

The Hearts and Flowers (H&F) task is a computerized executive functioning (EF) assessment that has been used to measure EF from early childhood to adulthood. It provides data on accuracy and reaction time (RT) across three different task blocks (hearts, flowers, and mixed). However, there is a lack of consensus in the field on how to score the task that makes it difficult to interpret findings across

A Bifactor Evaluation of Self-Report and Clinician-Administered Measures of PTSD in Veterans Assessment (IF 4.282) Pub Date : 2024-02-13 Amanda M. Raines, Kate E. Clauss, Dustin Seidler, Nicholas P. Allan, Jon D. Elhai, Jennifer J. Vasterling, Joseph I. Constans, Kelly P. Maieritsch, C. Laurel Franklin
The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) and the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) are two of the most widely used and well-validated PTSD measures providing total and subscale scores that correspond with DSM-5 PTSD symptoms. However, there is little information about the utility of subscale scores above and beyond the total score for either measure. The current study compared the proposed

Psychological distress often onsets during adolescence, necessitating an accurate understanding of its development. Assessing change in distress is based on the seldom examined premise of longitudinal measurement invariance (MI). Thus, we used three waves of data from Next Steps, a representative cohort of young people in the UK ( N = 13,539) to examine MI of the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12)

Missing data are pervasive in risk assessment but their impact on predictive accuracy has largely been unexplored. Common techniques for handling missing risk data include summing available items or proration; however, multiple imputation is a more defensible approach that has not been methodically tested against these simpler techniques. We compared the validity of these three missing data techniques

Interoception (e.g., abilities to recognize/attend to internal sensations) is robustly associated with psychopathology. One form of interoception, body trust, is relevant for the development of disordered eating and suicidal thoughts/behaviors. However, measures of body trust are narrow, despite research suggesting body trust is multifaceted. The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive measure

Adults with clinical anxiety have significant symptom overlap and above average rates of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Despite this, ADHD remains a vastly under-detected disorder among this population, indicating the need for a screener with well-understood symptom dimensions and good discriminant validity. The current study compared competing models of ADHD as well as discriminant

Uncovering Hidden Framings in Dark Triad Self-Ratings: What Frames-of-Reference Do People Use When Responding to Generic Dark Triad Items? Assessment (IF 4.282) Pub Date : 2024-01-29 Julian Schulze, Manuel Heinrich, Jan-Philipp Freudenstein, Philipp Schäpers, Stefan Krumm
In typical Dark Triad (DT) questionnaires, generic items oftentimes refer to “others” or “people” in general. Hence, respondents have to mentally aggregate their behavior across several kinds of “others” (e.g., work colleagues, family members, and friends). It remains unknown if individuals consider different kinds of interaction partners equally or if their self-reports contain “hidden” interaction
