However, we know relatively little about rumination in daily life. This study tested the validity of a new approach for assessing daily episodes of rumination, the Day Reconstruction Method for Rumination (DRM-R). Participants (<i>N</i> = 127) who were either high or low in neuroticism completed baseline self-report measures (e.g., depression, trait rumination). Next, they completed the DRM-R by reconstructing the previous day into a series of \"scenes,\" identifying discrete episodes of rumination, and responding to follow-up items about each episode. 78.6% of high neuroticism participants reported experiencing discrete periods of rumination, 80.0% reported constant ruminative thoughts in the back of their heads, and 68.6% reported ruminative thoughts of fluctuating intensity. Time spent ruminating was moderately correlated with trait measures of rumination and worry. Findings provide preliminary evidence that the DRM-R is a valid method for assessing discrete episodes of rumination in daily life. The DRM-R may reveal, ideographically, the relationship between specific thought content and features of ruminative episodes (e.g., length, frequency). Further research is needed to establish whether the DRM-R can detect changes in rumination across multiple days and how it corresponds with traditional daily diary methods and ecological momentary assessment.

Factor one-dimensionality and competing multifactor structures were tested against data. With the best acceptable models, measurement invariance was tested between genders and over time. Subscale reliability and correspondence between subscale sum scores and factor scores were estimated. The nationally representative self-report data from 23,980 Finnish early (12-13 years) and mid- (15-16 years) adolescents (50.4% girls) were collected from two cohorts in 2008 and 2013. The results showed that among early adolescents, the revised SDQ with a controlled method effect had an excellent fit. In contrast, none of the tested models had an acceptable fit among the mid-adolescents. Among early adolescents, strong measurement invariance was achieved between genders and over time. Three of the five subscales were one-dimensional, and all subscales had low reliability. The resemblance between the subscale sum scores and factor scores was alarmingly low. Researchers should be cautious when using the SDQ Total Difficulties sum score or the subscale scores as they may be substantially biased, and practitioners should desist from using the SDQ as a screening tool in its current form. This study strongly supports the revision of the SDQ. In line with the previous findings, we suggest rewording the worst functioning items and revising the reverse-worded difficulties items.

Participants for this study were 3,039 male inmates who completed the PICTS while confined in a medium-security federal prison. Results showed that the PCT and RCT each achieved a mixed (risk and promotive) effect for four out of six outcomes. Of the four unipolar effects, PCT achieved a promotive effect but not a risk effect for the two preincarceration outcomes, whereas RCT produced a risk but not promotive effect for the two postincarceration outcomes. These results provide support for the notion that PCT and RCT are primarily bipolar dimensional constructs in which high scores are associated with negative criminal justice outcomes and low scores with positive criminal justice outcomes, although there may be unipolar aspects to each scale as well.

In total, 443 Chinese male sailors were recruited, of whom 46.95% (<i>n</i> = 208) were watchstanding sailors on 18-hr working schedule at sea. All participants completed the B-PSQI, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Self-Rating Depression Scale, and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale before and after a 30-day saling. Forty watchstanding sailors were selected to wear wrist actigraphy throughout the sailing. The results showed that the B-PSQI had acceptable internal consistency reliability in different sailor groups. Confirmatory factor analysis showed optimal fit of the single-factor model of the B-PSQI in different sailor groups. Furthermore, scalar invariance between watchstanding and day-working sailors was supported, as well as longitudinal scalar invariance across time. In addition, receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the B-PSQI yields high discrimination power to detect poor sleep quality using ISI ≥ 8 criterion. However, a lack of intermethod agreement across the B-PSQI and actigraphy was found in this study. Moreover, the total scores of B-PSQI were positively related to depression and anxiety symptoms in the present sample. The B-PSQI is a reliable and valid sleep quality measure and a useful screening tool for sleep disorders among Chinese male sailors.

The current work describes the development and validation of a novel measure of desire intolerance. After initial item development and exploratory factor analysis (Study 1) and confirmatory factor analysis (Study 2), the 10-item unidimensional Desire Intolerance Questionnaire (DIQ) was created. Desire intolerance was conceptually related to low self-control (Studies 1-4) and both approach and avoidance motivation (Studies 2, 4, 5) and was distinct from delay of gratification (Study 3). Greater desire intolerance was also associated with higher distress intolerance (Studies 4 and 5). In Study 4, we used qualitative coding to explore what people were thinking about when they considered their \"desires.\" Findings revealed that higher desire intolerance was associated with thinking about desired long-term outcomes more than proximal short-term hedonic pleasures. Finally, Study 4 focused on unique and independent associations between desire and distress intolerance with psychopathology, and we found that both distress intolerance were associated with heightened psychological distress and borderline personality symptoms. Only distress intolerance was uniquely associated with uncontrolled eating and self-criticism, whereas only desire intolerance was uniquely associated with aggressive behavior and dichotomous thinking. The current research supports the DIQ as a psychometrically sound indicator of difficulties withstanding desires and allows for a better understanding of intolerance as a transdiagnostic clinical phenomena.

Folk psychiatry models propose that lay explanations of mental illness can be quantified along distinct moralizing, medicalizing, and psychologizing dimensions. The current project aimed to develop a trauma-specific measure capturing lay explanations of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on this framework. Data were collected from three samples of Mechanical Turk respondents (<i>N</i>₁ = 367; <i>N</i>₂ = 365; <i>N</i>₃ = 401) as well as an independent sample of university students (<i>N</i>₄ = 311). Factor analysis of the final, 13-item Folk Psychiatry Measure-PTSD (FPM-P) indicated close fit of a correlated three-factor model in MTurk and student respondents. Across samples, moralizing beliefs about PTSD (e.g., people with PTSD lack a moral compass) evidenced moderate-to-strong correlations with general attitudes toward those with mental illness, including positive associations with authoritarianism, social restrictiveness, blame, anger, and perceived dangerousness. Negative associations with benevolence and support for community-based care were also noted. Medicalizing beliefs (e.g., PTSD is caused by a chemical imbalance) demonstrated more modest associations with negative attitudes, as noted through weak correlations with increased authoritarianism, anger, and lower benevolence toward those experiencing psychological difficulties. Finally, psychologizing explanations (e.g., people with poor relationships and low social support are at greater risk of developing PTSD) evidenced weak but positive associations with benevolence and pity for those with mental health concerns. Implications and cultural-based nuances of the scale are discussed.
