The operationalized psychodynamic diagnostics system. Clinical relevance, reliability and validity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, we present a multiaxial system for psychodynamic diagnosis, which has attained wide usage in Germany in the last 10 years. First we will discuss the 4 operationalized psychodynamic diagnostics (OPD) axes: illness experience and treatment ...

Assessing the environmental characteristics of cycling routes to school : a study on the reliability and validity of a Google Street View-based audit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Google Street View provides a valuable and efficient alternative to observe the physical environment compared to on-site fieldwork. However, studies on the use, reliability and validity of Google Street View in a cycling-to-school context are

Validity of the Adiabatic Approximation

open access: yes, 2007
We analyze the validity of the adiabatic approximation, and in particular the reliability of what has been called the "standard criterion" for validity of this approximation. Recently, this criterion has been found to be insufficient.

Coarse graining and first order phase transitions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We discuss the dependence of the coarse grained free energy and the classical interface tension on the coarse graining scale $k$. A stable range appears only if the renormalized dimensionless couplings at the critical temperature are small.

Validating Criterion-Referenced Reading Tests [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Reading Behavior, 1977
Validation is an important step in the developmental process of any reading test. Yet traditional approaches to reliability and validity assessment are not relevant for criterion-referenced reading tests. A more relevant approach defines reliability in terms of the consistency of decision-making across repeated test administrations and validity in ...

Sufficiency Criterion for the Validity of the Adiabatic Approximation

open access: yes, 2007
We examine the quantitative condition which has been widely used as a criterion for the adiabatic approximation but was recently found insufficient. Our results indicate that the usual quantitative condition is sufficient for a special class of quantum ...

Biased diffusion in confined media: Test of the Fick-Jacobs approximation and validity criteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study biased, diffusive transport of Brownian particles through narrow, spatially periodic structures in which the motion is constrained in lateral directions.

Rethinking neuropsychological test validity in dementia assessment: a critical review in the age of neuroimaging and digital markers

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience
Neuropsychological tests are essential tools for evaluating dementia and related neurocognitive disorders, with their clinical utility determined mainly by their validity.

Children’s Resilience Markers: Criterion-based validity evidences

open access: yesEstudos de Psicologia (Campinas)
Although resilience is a relevant construct, there are no Brazilian instruments available to identify the resilient potential in children. Considering this, an instrument called Children’s Resilience Markers was developed. The study included 500 children
