Criterion Validity of new wais iii subtest scores after traumatic brain injury
Journal of The International Neuropsychological Society, 2001Co-Authors: Jacobus Donders, David S. Tulsky, Jianjun ZhuAbstract:The Criterion Validity of the new subtests from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Third Edition (WAIS–III; Wechsler, 1997) was evaluated in a sample of 100 patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Letter–Number Sequencing and Symbol Search, but not Matrix Reasoning, yielded statistically significant differences in performance between patients with moderate–severe TBI, patients with mild TBI, and demographically matched controls. Level of education accounted for a statistically significant amount of variance in the performance of patients with TBI, in addition to that explained by injury severity variables. It is concluded that Letter–Number Sequencing and Symbol Search have satisfactory Criterion Validity, but that they need to be supplemented with other measures in the context of neuropsychological evaluations. Matrix Reasoning, on the other hand, is not sensitive to the sequelae of TBI and more studies are needed to determine how it can be used for neuropsychological assessment purposes.

Criterion Validity of the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery after Traumatic Brain Injury
Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 2012Co-Authors: Jacobus Donders, Terry LevittAbstract:The performance of 54 patients with complicated mild-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) was evaluated on the Attention, Executive Functions, and Memory modules of the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (NAB) and compared with that of 54 demographically matched healthy controls. All three NAB indices demonstrated statistically significant group differences and negative covariances with the duration of coma, with large effect sizes. The Numbers and Letters and Mazes subtests had the most consistent evidence for sensitivity to brain injury. The findings provide preliminary support for the Criterion Validity of the NAB in the assessment of patients with complicated mild-severe TBI. Language: en

The Criterion Validity of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES‐D) in a sample of self‐referred elders with depressive symptomatology
International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 2004Co-Authors: R Haringsma, G I Engels, A T F Beekman, Ph SpinhovenAbstract:Background The Criterion Validity of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D) was assessed in a group of elderly Dutch community-residents who were self-referred to a prevention program for depression. Methods Paper-and-pencil administration of the CES-D to 318 elders (55–85 years). Criterion Validity was evaluated with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), a clinical diagnostic interview based on DSM-IV. Sensitivity and specificity for various cut-off scores of CES-D were compared with the DSM-IV major depressive disorder (MDD) and with clinically relevant depression (CRD), a composite diagnosis of MDD, subthreshold depression or dysthymia. Furthermore the characteristics of true versus false positives were analyzed. Results For MDD, the optimal cut-off score was 25, (sensitivity 85%, specificity 64%, and positive predicted value of 63%). For CRD, the optimal cut-off was 22 (sensitivity 84%, specificity 60%, and positive predicted value 77%). True positives, MDD and CRD, reported significantly more anxiety symptomatology and more co-morbid anxiety disorders, false positives reported more previous depressive episodes. Conclusions The Criterion Validity of the CES-D for MDD and CRD was satisfactory in this semi-clinical sample of elders. Subjects scoring ≥25 constitute a target group for further diagnostic assessment in order to determine appropriate treatment. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Incremental Criterion Validity of message perceptions and effects perceptions in the context of anti-smoking messages.
Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2020Co-Authors: Sabeeh A Baig, Seth M. Noar, Nisha C. Gottfredson, Allison J. Lazard, Kurt M. Ribisl, Noel T. BrewerAbstract:To select promising health messages, formative research has often relied on perceived message effectiveness (PME) scales assessing either of two related constructs, message perceptions (persuasive potential) and effects perceptions (potential for behavioral impact). We sought to examine their incremental Criterion Validity within a comparative framework. Participants were 703 U.S. adult smokers (ages [Formula: see text] 21) who received anti-smoking or comparable control (littering) messages on their cigarette packs for 3 weeks. Structural equation models examined both PME constructs as simultaneous correlates of outcomes from the UNC Tobacco Warnings Model. Message perceptions demonstrated incremental Criterion Validity with attention, an early behavioral antecedent ([Formula: see text] = 0.82, p < .001). Effects perceptions demonstrated incremental Criterion Validity with later behavioral antecedents (range [Formula: see text] = 0.74-0.87, all p < .01) and quitting behaviors ([Formula: see text] = 0.36-0.66, all p < .001). Formative research on anti-smoking messages may benefit from focusing on effects perceptions to characterize potential for behavior change.
