  • Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale–2 (BERS-2) Parent and Youth Rating Scales
    Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2005
    Co-Authors: Jacquelyn A. Buckley, Robert Reid, Gail Ryser, Michael H. Epstein
    Abstract:

    We confirmed the factor structure of the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale – 2nd Edition (BERS-2) with a normative parent and youth sample. The BERS-2, based on the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale (BERS), is a standardized instrument that assesses children's emotional and behavioral strengths. The original BERS was renormed to create a separate parent Scale (Parent Rating Scale) and a youth self-report Scale (Youth Rating Scale). In this study, we investigated whether the five-factor structure of the original BERS (i.e., interpersonal strengths, family involvement, intrapersonal strengths, school functioning, and affective strengths) could be replicated with normative parent and youth respondents. A total of 927 parents of students with and without disabilities and 1301 youth with and without disabilities volunteered to participate in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the extent to which the normative parent and youth data fit the original five-factor BERS structure. Results indicated that the five-factor structure demonstrated an acceptable fit with the normative parent and youth samples. Practical implications and future research ideas are discussed.

  • Validity and Reliability of the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale (2nd Edition): Youth Rating Scale
    Research on Social Work Practice, 2004
    Co-Authors: Michael H. Epstein, Paul Mooney, Gail Ryser, Corey D. Pierce
    Abstract:

    Objective: This article reports findings of three studies addressing convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the Youth Rating Scale of the Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scale-Second Edition (BERS-2). Method: Pearson product-moment correlations were used in all three studies, the first two addressing convergent validity and the third addressing test-retest reliability. Results: Analysis indicated that (a) the six BERS-2 subScales and overall strength index were generally highly positively correlated with the social skills composite score from the Social Skills Rating System-Student Form (Secondary Level, Grades 7 to 12), (b) the BERS-2 subScales and strength index were generally moderately negatively correlated with the Problem Scales of Achenbach’s Youth Self-Report, and (c) test-retest reliability coefficients over a 1-week period were all above .80. Conclusions: Results provide evidence that the BERS-2 Youth Rating Scale has acceptable psychometric properties and may be considered for use b...

  • Is satisficing responsible for response order effects in Rating Scale questions
    Survey research methods, 2018
    Co-Authors: Florian Keusch, Ting Yang
    Abstract:

    Rating Scales are used extensively in surveys. A Rating Scale can descend from the highest to the lowest point or from the positive to the negative pole. A Rating Scale can also start with the lowest point (or the negative pole) and ascend to the highest point (or the positive pole). Previous research has shown that the direction of the Scale, i.e., the order of the response options, has an impact on responses, and that respondents are more likely to select response options close to the starting point of the Scale, regardless of whether the Scale ascends or descends. This paper advances the literature by examining empirically whether or not the response order effect in Rating Scale questions is driven by satisficing. Drawing on data from five experiments, we found that Scale direction had a significant and extreme impact on response distributions. Although the effect of Scale direction was stronger among speeders than non-speeders, the effect was observed across the board among those who were at a high risk of satisficing and those who were not.

  • the menopause Rating Scale mrs Scale a methodological review
    Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2004
    Co-Authors: Klaas Heinemann, Lothar A J Heinemann, Peter Potthoff, H P G Schneider, Alexander Ruebig, Frank Strelow, Do Minh Thai
    Abstract:

    Background This paper compiles data from different sources to get a first comprehensive picture of psychometric and other methodological characteristics of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) Scale. The Scale was designed and standardized as a self-administered Scale to (a) to assess symptoms/complaints of aging women under different conditions, (b) to evaluate the severity of symptoms over time, and (c) to measure changes pre- and postmenopause replacement therapy. The Scale became widespread used (available in 10 languages).

  • international versions of the menopause Rating Scale mrs
    Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2003
    Co-Authors: Lothar A J Heinemann, Peter Potthoff, H P G Schneider
    Abstract:

    Background Symptom Scales for aging women have clinically been used for years and the interest in measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has increased in recent years. The Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) is a formally validated Scale according to the requirements for quality of life instruments. The aim of this paper is to review the current state of the instrument particularly concerning versions of the Scale in different languages.
