Described is an alternative algorithm for item analysis in which item discrimination indices have been defined for item distractors in addition to their traditional definition for the scored alternative. Also, the Campbell and Fiske concept of convergent and discriminant validity was reconceptualized from the test to the item level and proposed as an ...

The Discriminative Validity of the Whitaker Index of Schizophrenic Thinking

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1978
An attempt was made to assess the discriminative validity of the WIST with a sample of psychiatric inpatients. Through the use of a standardized structured interview and a diagnostic system for schizophrenia based on the use of discriminant function analysis with nonpathognomic symptom combinations, a reliable and valid system was used to establish the

Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Firo-B Questionnaire

Psychological Reports, 1991
The Kramer-Froehle controversy about the construct validity of FIRO-B questionnaire was evaluated with a multitrait-multimethod design. 113 women and 26 men completed the FIRO-B questionnaire. After the examiner had given a lecture on the FIRO-dimensions, the subjects rated themselves on these dimensions. Only three out of six intercorrelations on the

THE DISCRIMINANT VALIDITY OF SCALES DEVELOPED BY RETRANSLATION

Personnel Psychology, 1977
The retranslation procedure is designed to yield unambiguous sets of behaviors exemplifying conceptually important and distinct performance dimensions. Previous research has shown that dimensions developed with the retranslation procedure possess only low to moderate discriminant validity.

Discriminant validity of the TSC-40 in an outpatient setting

Child Abuse & Neglect, 1997
This study examines the discriminant validity of the Trauma Symptom Checklist (TSC-40) in a clinical sample. The TSC-40 was developed as a research instrument for assessing the impact of a history of sexual victimization. Previous validity studies used nonclinical samples of women (Elliott & Briere, 1992; Gold, Milan, Myall, & Johnson, 1994).

Pain Disability Index: Construct and discriminant validity

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1991
The Pain Disability Index (PDI) was developed as a self-report measure of general and domain-specific, pain-related disability. This study's purpose was twofold: (1) to assess construct validity of the scale relative to other measures of pain-related disability and psychologic distress and (2) to assess the strength of the PDI, independent of pain ...

Convergent and Discriminant Validity of the Five Factor Form

Assessment, 2013
The current study tests the convergent and discriminant validity of a modified version of the Five Factor Model Rating Form (FFMRF), a one-page, brief measure of the five-factor model. The Five Factor Form (FFF) explicitly identifies maladaptive variants for both poles of each of the 30 facets of the FFMRF. The purpose of the current study was to test
