Although a DEPS-R total score of ≥20 is oft used to identify a probable eating disorder, previous work has shown that some items may reflect T1D management struggles, rather than DEB, with other work indicating that different response profiles (e.g., overeating vs. diabulimia) correspond to varying DEB risks. To identify DEPS-R items of greatest utility in detecting DEB in T1D, we used a form of item response theory to evaluate item variation in difficulty and discrimination, as well as scale precision across the latent DEB continuum. Participants were 329 adults with T1D who completed the DEPS-R when joining a participant registry or enrolling in a study on eating and weight concerns in T1D. We found a number of DEPS-R items (e.g., \"I skip meals or snacks\") that demonstrated low difficulty and low-to-moderate discrimination. These items were often endorsed by even the lowest severity participants yet provided relatively limited information for differentiating the DEB construct. Other items with high difficulty and moderate discrimination (e.g., \"I make myself vomit\") provided relatively modest information even at the highest pathology levels, as they were unlikely to be endorsed even by the most severe cases. Most high-discrimination items provided the most diagnostic information at the highest pathology levels (e.g., \"I try to eat to the point of spilling ketones in my urine\"). Results suggest revising the DEPS-R scale, as several items provided limited contribution to DEB detection.

In addition, Türkiye's culturally hybrid context provides a unique setting to explore the RSQ's cross-cultural applicability and coping mechanisms in adolescents with psychiatric disorders. The sample comprised 435 adolescents (44.6% male; <i>M</i>_age = 14.45) from an outpatient child and adolescent psychiatry clinic in Istanbul. Participants completed the RSQ-TR, Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Child Version, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and Friendship Qualities Scale. Construct validity and gender invariance were tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and multigroup CFA; reliability was assessed via Cronbach's α and test-retest intraclass correlation coefficient. CFA confirmed the five-factor model with acceptable fit (χ²/<i>df</i> = 3.11, comparative fit index = .91, root-mean-square error of approximation = .070). Multi-group CFA showed full measurement invariance across gender. The RSQ-TR demonstrated moderate to strong internal consistency (total α = .88; subscales .78-.86) and good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = .72-.76). Engagement coping strategies were associated with lower psychopathology and better social functioning, while disengagement coping and involuntary stress responses were linked to greater internalizing symptoms and poorer social outcomes. Findings support the reliability and validity of RSQ-TR scores in clinically referred Turkish adolescents. The results extend evidence for the RSQ's structural robustness and clinical relevance to psychiatric samples with mixed diagnoses, supporting its use for identifying maladaptive stress responses and informing intervention planning in mental health settings.

Subsequent elaboration of a lower order structure based on the first three broader domains yielded seven additional factors: fear and somatoform, thought disorder, suicide, negative affectivity, and narcissism, resulting in a total of 11 factors at the most nuanced level. Sequential hierarchical modeling iteratively traced the factor structure from one global psychopathology factor down to the seven-factor level and, subsequently, 11-factor level. Construct validity of the factor structures was evaluated through correlation and regression analyses using scales from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3. These results yielded broad support for the convergent validity of the HiTOP-SR structure, as the various factors demonstrated meaningful associations with conceptually relevant Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 scale scores. These findings, though derived from a predominantly young female sample that may not be fully generalizable, provide preliminary evidence for the HiTOP-SR as a promising assessment tool aligned with key aspects of the HiTOP framework, while also highlighting directions for further replication and refinement.

The SSPI/SSPI-2 is a behavioral measure that is widely used by clinicians and researchers to screen for sexual interest in children among individuals who have committed a sexual offense against a child. The revised version (SSPI-2) is composed of five yes/no items that are scored from records and self-report: any boy victim under 15 years old, more than one child victim under 15 years old, any extrafamilial child victim under 15 years old, any child victim under 12 years old, and any child sexual exploitation material offense. After almost 25 years of use, research has accumulated on the psychometric properties of SSPI/SSPI-2 scores. We found evidence that SSPI/SSPI-2 scores have convergent (e.g., diagnosis of pedophilic disorder, self-reported sexual interest in children), discriminant (e.g., psychopathy), and predictive (new sexual offenses) validity. There were not enough studies to assess interrater reliability, but results of individual studies are encouraging. The present results suggest that the SSPI/SSPI-2 scores have adequate psychometric properties for continued use in forensic assessments, especially given its low cost relative to other assessments of sexual interest in children.

Its recent and frequent use to study differences in eating pathology across ethnoracial groups underscores importance of establishing its measurement invariance across groups. However, mixed evidence has emerged, and studies have focused on Black, mixed-race Hispanic/Latino, and White women. The present study aimed to establish the measurement invariance of the EDI Drive for Thinness, Bulimia, Perfectionism, Maturity Fears, and Interpersonal Distrust subscales across four ethnoracial groups in a sample of women and men. Participants (<i>N</i> = 2,931) were Hispanic White (7%), non-Hispanic Asian (18%), non-Hispanic Black or African American (7%), and non-Hispanic White (68%) college students (67% female) recruited in a cohort-based epidemiological, longitudinal study of health and eating patterns. First, multigroup confirmatory factor analysis examined whether the EDI performed comparably across ethnoracial groups in the full sample. Next, the same approach was followed in sensitivity analyses within each sex. Evaluation of changes in comparative fit index indicated that full metric invariance, scalar invariance, and uniqueness were supported across ethnoracial groups in the full sample and in women (change in comparative fit index ≤ .01). Only partial measurement invariance was supported in analyses of non-Hispanic Asian and non-Hispanic White men. Analyses support use of the EDI in ethnoracially diverse samples including women and men or only women. Limited score variance in men suggests the need for tests of measurement invariance in larger samples.

Given its increasing therapeutic use and application in experimental research, several mindful eating scales have been developed. Carrière, Shireen, et al. (2022) recently developed and validated the Four Facet Mindful Eating Scale (FFaMES) to address limitations of previous scales. Specifically, the FFaMES is a psychometrically robust measure that assesses both the attention and attitude components of mindful eating. Valid translations of the FFaMES into other languages are needed to increase its accessibility to non-English-speaking populations. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a French translation of the FFaMES (FFaMES-F) among a French-speaking population. Participants were French-speaking adults from the province of Quebec (55.3% female) who primarily identified as being of North American origin (84.6%). Forward and back translations were conducted, and a committee approach was used throughout the translation process. The convergent validity and model fit of the FFaMES-F were assessed. The FFaMES-F demonstrated similar patterns of association as the original scale.

Establishing measurement invariance allows for comparing scores across demographic groups and provides evidence for the assumption that the KABC-II NU measures intelligence similarly regardless of the examinee's parents' education. Data from the KABC-II NU U.S. standardization sample were analyzed in this study, which included 507 youth ages 7-18. The sample was divided into groups by the highest level of education attained by their parent(s): Grade 11 or less (n = 55), high school graduate or equivalent (n = 109), some college/tech certification/associate's degree (n = 173), and bachelor's degree (n = 165). Data were analyzed using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Configural invariance and full metric invariance were supported. Partial intercept invariance was achieved by freeing the intercept for Block Counting. Residual invariance and equality of the first-order disturbances across groups were supported. The variance of g did not meaningfully differ across parental education, suggesting a similar degree of variability in general intelligence (width of the normal curve) across groups. The estimated latent broad ability means showed that students with less educated parents demonstrate a relative weakness in verbal comprehension. These findings provide additional validity evidence for the KABC-II NU and suggest the test is not biased against youth from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.

Intraclass correlations of overall correlational profiles revealed that the nomological network of the PBS more closely aligns with Triarchic Psychopathy Measure meanness than with boldness. Rather than clarifying the role of boldness within psychopathy, the PBS repackages maladaptive content typically captured by meanness/antagonism under the boldness label and results in a case of the jingle fallacy.
