This study reports on the adaptation and validation of the Prospective Memory Concerns Questionnaire-informant version (PMCQi). We aimed to investigate whether PMCQi scores corresponded to self-report and performance on an event-based PM task. Additionally, we explored whether informants' Big Five personality traits or relationship characteristics between ratee and informant influenced scores. Participants comprised of 305 adults who completed self-report versions of the PMCQ, Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire, and Big Five Inventory and completed an event-based PM task. Informant versions of the PMCQ and Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire, self-reported Big Five Inventory, and task success judgements were completed by informants who knew the participants well: 246 participants had one informant, and 59 had two. The PMCQi scores had very good reliability, the same higher order three-factor structure as the PMCQ, and agreement with self-report PMCQ. Both self-report and informant PMCQ scores predicted event-based PM performance. Neither relationship status nor personality moderated these relationships. Contrary to expectations, the type, frequency, and duration of self-informant relationships did not influence PMCQi scores. As expected, neuroticism predicted higher PMCQi scores. Agreeableness on the other hand predicted fewer PMCQi concerns. The current findings demonstrate the validity of the PMCQi and its usefulness alongside self-report PMCQ and performance measures. Our findings suggest that the nature of self-informant relationship is less important than informant agreeableness and neuroticism when assessing PM concerns. As such, clinicians and researchers should be mindful of personality factors when assessing PM concerns.

In a set of preregistered analyses with a sample of clinical/community participants (75% female, 81% White), we explored the hierarchical structure of the HiTOP-SR scales using exploratory factor analysis (<i>n</i> = 637) and examined their associations with behaviors and experiences assessed in daily life (<i>n</i> = 531), such as affect, stress, impulsivity, energy, sleep quality, and social interactions.

In this systematic review, we examined changes in anxiety scores reported by children and parents across repeated assessments in nonintervention control groups from randomized controlled trials across community, risk, and clinical samples, using four widely used anxiety measures for children and adolescents (Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, Spence Children's Anxiety Scale, Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders). We searched BASE, MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, Web of Science, and PubMed Central, alongside a cited reference search for seminal publications of the included measures. A random-effects model was used for meta-analysis. A total of 106 studies (<i>N</i> = 9,224 children) met inclusion criteria: 46 clinical samples, 37 risk samples, and 23 community samples.

For parent-rated child anxiety, the effect was -0.12 (95% CI [-0.17, -0.06]) between the first and second assessment. The findings support the presence of initial elevation bias mainly in child-reported anxiety. The results are unlikely to be explained by maturation, real improvements, or selective attrition, and they extend beyond the effects of regression to the mean as they appear even in community samples.

Given its increasing therapeutic use and application in experimental research, several mindful eating scales have been developed. Carrière, Shireen, et al.

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.

We examined this issue in intensive longitudinal data from people receiving medication for opioid use disorder (<i>n</i> = 306), each of whom was asked to provide an end-of-day (EOD) report via smartphone every night for 8 weeks, along with thrice-daily randomly prompted reports (person-moments = 39,321). We examined whether missing EOD reports were associated with mood, stress, craving, and substance use, estimated both as within-person changes (in random-prompt entries) and between-person characteristics (means across random-prompt entries). Between-person characteristics were the strongest correlates of missing EOD reports, though the magnitudes of the associations were modest. Greater likelihood of missingness was associated with greater mean low-arousal mood (i.e., fatigue; <i>OR</i> = 1.13, 95% CI [1.01, 1.27]), stress (<i>OR</i> = 1.14, 95% CI [1.02, 1.28]) and proportions of random-prompt entries with heroin craving (<i>OR</i> = 1.14, 95% CI [1.02, 1.27]).

Higher IIV-d has been identified as a potentially useful indicator of both cognitive impairment and noncredible test performance, but further exploration of the utility of these metrics for group classification is warranted. This study assessed measures of IIV-d-individual standard deviation and coefficient of variation (CoV)-for classifying levels of neurocognitive impairment and invalid test performance. Adult patients referred for outpatient neuropsychological evaluation (<i>N</i> = 421, <i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 44.49, <i>M</i><sub>education</sub> = 13.71) were administered four freestanding performance validity tests and a neuropsychological test battery yielding 18 indicator scores. Patients were classified into four groups: no neurocognitive disorder (<i>n</i> = 125), mild neurocognitive disorder (<i>n</i> = 163), major neurocognitive disorder (<i>n</i> = 45), and invalid performance (invalid; <i>n</i> = 88). Analyses of covariance revealed that both individual standard deviation (<i>F</i> = 13.75, <i>p</i> < .001, η² = 0.08) and CoV (<i>F</i> = 64.14, <i>p</i> < .001, η² = 0.31) significantly differed across groups. Results showed that high levels of variability followed increasing severity of cognitive impairment (i.e., no neurocognitive disorder < mild neurocognitive disorder < major neurocognitive disorder); performance invalidity was also associated with high variability. Additional analyses highlighted CoV as a more robust indicator of prediction utility than individual standard deviation. Overall, findings suggest that use of IIV-d metrics, particularly CoV, differentiates level of cognitive impairment. Performance invalidity can also be identified in some cases, although differentiating invalid responding from major neurocognitive disorder is more challenging using IIV-d metrics alone. Ongoing research is warranted for better understanding the use of IIV-d in facilitating diagnostic clarification and determining whether this method provides incremental value beyond other methods.
