Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a one-factor structure did not adequately fit the current PFC-S data. Using exploratory factor analysis, a three-factor structure emerged as interpretable and structurally sound, yielding reliable factors related to social and behavioral anhedonia, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, and excessive guilt and sadness. This factor structure showed configural and scalar invariance across preschool-aged and early middle childhood-aged children as well as children assigned male and female sex at birth.

Data were extracted from two studies that yielded a composite data set of 103 White individuals and 250 Latinx individuals. All participants were administered the MMPI-2-Restructured Form-Extended Battery (MMPI-2-RF-EX) or MMPI-3 and the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 Short Form (PID-5-SF). First, we conducted correlation analyses between theoretically overlapping scales of the PID-5-SF and the MMPI-3 among White and Latinx individuals. The majority of theoretically associated scales were found to be at least moderately associated in the total sample. In addition, Steiger's z-tests indicated that correlations were similar in magnitude across the White and Latinx ethnic groups. Hierarchical regression subsequently determined the presence of slope and/or intercept bias. Only one analysis (the MMPI-3 Anger Proneness prediction of PID-5-SF Negative Affectivity) indicated statistically significant intercept bias. No evidence of slope bias was found. In other words, these analyses indicated that the vast majority of the relationships between MMPI-3 scales and associated personality psychopathology constructs (as measured by the PID-5-SF) remained consistent across both ethnic groups. Overall, the results supported the appropriate cross-cultural use of the MMPI-3 to assess personality psychopathology.","PeriodicalId":8577,"journal":{"name":"Assessment","volume":" ","pages":"475-487"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141178064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this format is susceptible to various response biases, which can be particularly prevalent in children and adolescents, thus likely undermining measurement accuracy. Forced-choice (FC) scales appear to be a promising alternative because they are largely free from these biases by design. However, some argue that the FC format may not perform satisfactorily in children and adolescents due to its complexity. Little empirical evidence exists regarding the suitability of the FC format for children and adolescents. As such, the current study examined the psychometric performance of an FC measure of the Big Five personality factors in three children and adolescent samples: 5th to 6th graders (N = 428), 7th to 8th graders (N = 449), and 10th to 11th graders (N = 555). Across the three age groups, the FC scale demonstrated a better fit to the Big Five model and better discriminant validity in comparison to the LK counterpart. Personality scores from the FC scale also converged well with those from the LK scale and demonstrated high reliability as well as sizable criterion-related validity. Furthermore, the FC scale had more invariant statements than its LK counterpart across age groups. Overall, we found good evidence showing that FC measurement of personality is suitable for children and adolescents.","PeriodicalId":8577,"journal":{"name":"Assessment","volume":" ","pages":"521-543"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141309927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The DISEX-F demonstrates excellent inter-rater reliability, good test-retest reliability, and strong convergent and discriminant evidence of validity. Furthermore, it achieves high acceptance among participants.

Although findings are mixed, investigations of the ITQ's internal structure have most often supported a six-factor first-order model and a two-factor second-order model. This study utilized meta-analytic factor analysis to investigate the ITQ's latent structure. A systematic search of PsycINFO, Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, CINAHL, and ProQuest Dissertations was conducted, with 57 studies (total N = 43,066) included in the final analysis. A two-stage meta-analytic structural equation modeling approach was implemented which pooled correlation matrices and performed confirmatory factor analyses. The two-factor second-order model demonstrated good fit, emphasizing its clinical relevance. However, a seven-factor correlated first-order model demonstrated superior fit, consistently outperforming other models across ITQ versions, symptom severity levels, English versus translated versions, and both PTSD and non-PTSD samples. This model indicates that CPTSD encompasses a broad range of symptoms and specifically that the distinction between affective hyperactivation and hypoactivation is important to progress the construct validity of CPTSD. Additionally, reliability analyses revealed limited internal consistency at the subscale level. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive assessments and refined item content to enhance CPTSD measurement.","PeriodicalId":8577,"journal":{"name":"Assessment","volume":" ","pages":"10731911251340837"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, accurate global assessment of IPV prevalence among women in LMICs is limited by a lack of consensus around the domains of IPV and sparse evidence on cross-country comparability. We assessed the measurement structure and regional invariance of scales used in population-based surveys to measure IPV (physical, sexual, and emotional) and controlling behaviors. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), we tested unidimensional, multifactorial, hierarchical, bifactor, and bifactor S-1 models for lifetime and past-year IPV across 46 LMICs. We then assessed the invariance of the best-fitting models across countries within world regions using multiple-group CFA. Although other models also showed good fit in most countries, bifactor/bifactor S-1 models had the best fit across all countries and were invariant within most regions. Most bifactor models, especially without controlling behaviors, were primarily unidimensional; IPV can therefore be conceptualized as a single construct with nuanced facets. Researchers seeking to model IPV should consider the bifactor/bifactor S-1 model, unidimensional model, or simple summative measures incorporating physical, sexual, and emotional domains.","PeriodicalId":8577,"journal":{"name":"Assessment","volume":" ","pages":"10731911251340847"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12354333/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A large-scale validation study involving both women and non-women participants was conducted to evaluate the revised questionnaires. The final versions of the revised compassion questionnaires comprised 39 items for self-compassion and 33 items for compassion toward others, incorporating both positive and negative wording. Psychometric analysis indicated excellent reliability and validity, with evidence supporting the existence of global latent variables. The revised questionnaires represent a significant improvement over the original versions, offering a comprehensive operationalization of compassion constructs suitable for diverse populations.
