The Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised is one important measure of adolescent temperament designed to capture constructs within the influential Rothbart temperament model. Yet conflicting factor structures and minimal evidence for measurement invariance across samples and clinical groups have limited its ability to further temperament-based understanding of psychopathology. The goal of the present study was to identify reproducible measurement structures for the parent-rated and self-rated Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised in multiple large independent samples and to evaluate how that structure corresponded to their proposed theoretical structure. We also tested measurement invariance and compared temperament characteristics in youth with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Findings support the lower order theoretical structure using a reduced set of items in the parent-rated form, including evidence for measurement invariance across samples and clinical groups. Findings confirm important patterns of temperament variation associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis, including lower effortful control and differences in expression of negative affect and surgency. The self-rated form demonstrated poor structural validity and could not be reliably replicated in a confirmatory sample. Parent-reported temperament may help link personality-based models of psychopathology to earlier developmental periods where psychopathology often emerges.

The objective of our research was to develop and evaluate a Polish version of a measure to assess these concepts: the 20-item Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale (PASS-20). The goal also included establishing a cutoff score to differentiate between individuals with a high level of pain-related disability and those with lower levels. The scale underwent back-translation into Polish, and two studies were conducted among individuals reporting chronic pain: in a large online sample (N = 418; 60% women, 40% men; age: 19-86, M = 49), and in a hospital-recruited sample (N = 148; 77% women, 22% men; age: 18-85; M = 57). We assessed validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Confirmatory factor analyses supported both a model with four correlated factors-cognitive anxiety, physiological responses, avoidance, and fearful thinking-and a hierarchical model with four lower order factors and a higher order factor representing general pain anxiety. There was no evidence of ceiling or floor effects. Cronbach's αs exceeded .82 and .76 for the online and hospital-recruited samples, respectively, indicating robust internal consistency. The translated PASS-20 scores showed moderate test-retest reliability and positively correlated with pain catastrophizing, depression, stress, anxiety, and pain intensity. Women and individuals with disabilities reported higher scores. Receiver operating characteristic analysis determined an optimal cutoff score of 52 or above to distinguish highly disabled individuals with 82.35% sensitivity and 58.86% specificity. A minimal detectable change of 26.81 for the PASS-20 total score was identified. The Polish PASS-20 provides valid and reliable scores for measuring pain-related anxiety.

The latest version of the PTSD Checklist (PCL-5) is commonly administered in conjunction with the Life Events Checklist (LEC-5) to categorize a person as having or not having PTSD. Despite this being a common approach, researchers have yet to investigate to what degree this approach can lead to false positive PTSD identification, given the broad range of stressful events respondents could be considering while answering the questionnaires. The goal of this study was to evaluate the false positive rate of the PCL-5/LEC-5 combination. A battery of questionnaires was administered to a large sample of college students (N = 864) that contained the PCL-5, the LEC-5, and an assessment of the stressful event the participant was thinking about while answering the PCL-5 questionnaire. The specificity obtained by the PCL-5/LEC-5 combination was 0.86. Concretely, our results show that among the potential positives (n = 184), more than the 58% (n = 107) were considered false positives, whereas only 41.84% (n = 77) were assessed as true positives. The addition of a single item asking participants what they were thinking about while answering the PCL-5 questionnaire was able to successfully identify these cases, as evidenced by the obtainment of similar rates than more time-consuming and clinician-administered measures. The results of this study lead to questions about the generalizability of several findings reported in the PTSD literature.

The present study explored the utility of a widely used omnibus assessment instrument, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), to predict change in functioning during treatment for BPD. Data were obtained from a randomized clinical trial into the effectiveness of 2-year evidence-based treatment for BPD (dialectical behavior therapy or schema therapy) among 130 participants diagnosed with BPD. Different machine learning algorithms, including elastic net regression (ENR), random forest, gradient boosting machine, and extreme gradient boosting, were implemented using nested cross-validation. The ENR model had an average explained variance of 42%. A combination of baseline functioning and four MMPI-2-RF scales emerged as key predictors of change in functioning. Baseline functioning was the most important predictor, with lower initial functioning levels related to more improvement. Higher scores on ideas of persecution, somatic complaints, family problems, and disconstraint were associated with less improvement in functioning. Given the risk of overfitting and the lack of an independent data set, future research should focus on the replicability and generalizability of the findings, as well as clarifying the underlying mechanisms. Our study serves as a first step in identifying patients at risk of poor functional outcome after treatment for BPD.

The evaluation included its factorial, convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity, measurement invariance, and internal consistency reliability. Results showed that the MIOS demonstrated a two-factor structure that was invariant at the configural, metric, and scalar level when compared with Canadian Veterans.

The goal of this study was to test a simple gamification method called \"The Emoji Game\" that was designed to increase adherence with EMA surveys (i.e., compliance or completing more surveys). The game involved embedding an emoji (i.e., a pictogram) randomly into one of the survey questions, where both the emoji and question where the emoji was hidden changed every few days. Participants who found the emoji were given an entry into a raffle to win a bonus gift card. Participants were 85 adolescents, who were recently admitted to acute psychiatric care due to suicidal thoughts or behaviors, and administered an EMA protocol for 4 weeks after discharge. This study covered three time periods: the 4 months that we ran the Emoji Game (<i>n</i> = 31), the 4 months immediately before the Emoji Game (<i>n</i> = 22), and the same period as the Emoji Game 1 year prior (<i>n</i> = 32). We found that participants in the \"Emoji Game\" period completed significantly more surveys (M compliance = 63.07%) than either comparison group (40.47% and 43.98% for 4 months and 1 year prior, respectively). We found no differences among groups on survey engagement (e.g., number of zeros per survey, a metric of careless and quick responding). Taken together, this suggests that the Emoji Game is an easy, low-burden way to gamify EMA studies that increases compliance.

While this approach has great potential for informing us about specific computational processes associated with psychopathology, the fundamental psychometric properties of computational assessments remain understudied. Optimizing these psychometric properties, including test-retest reliability, is essential for clinical utility. To address this gap, we assessed the test-retest reliability of manifest behavior and computational model parameters of a probabilistic reward and reversal learning task, two-armed Bandit, using intraclass correlations (ICCs) in 179 adults, including those with various psychosis-spectrum disorders and undiagnosed controls. We studied two computational models from recent literature: regression modeling of choice strategies and a hidden Markov model. The test-retest reliability for both manifest behavior (0.24 ≤ ICCs ≤ 0.54) and computational parameters (0.30 ≤ ICCs ≤ 0.61) ranged from poor to moderate, which was not explained by practice effects. Computational parameters did not outperform manifest behavior parameters. The reliability of computational parameters was generally-though not significantly-higher in healthy adults, which may potentially reflect the internal heterogeneity of categorical psychiatric diagnoses. Computational modeling holds promise, but tasks and analyses must be optimized for greater reliability before proceeding into clinical use.

We extend dimensional classification research by assessing mania and other domains at the symptom level using a longitudinal, daily diary design (7-day period). Participants (N = 230; 1,243 total surveys) were adults recruited online based on having a self-identified history of significant mental health issues. Consistent with recent cross-sectional research, mania symptoms associated strongly with thought disorder at the between-person level, and they also associated strongly with some externalizing features across levels of analysis (i.e., within- and between-person). Regarding specific within-person results, select mania symptoms were more distinctive from other symptoms assessed overall, although mania symptoms still associated robustly with thought disorder in many cases. A subset of mania symptoms (e.g., euphoric mood) also had robust negative within-person associations with internalizing symptoms. These findings inform understanding of mania symptoms' daily associations and dimensional assessment, although several limitations are important to keep in mind. These limitations included some item ratings having limited within-person variability, as well as our study sampling period focusing on only 7 days. We hope that future research will address these limitations in other samples toward improving the dimensional classification and assessment of mania and other symptoms.
