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.

Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Overall Defensive Functioning

The Journal of Nervous & Mental Disease, 1998
We examined the validity of the construct of overall defensive functioning and its discrimination from standard diagnostic assessments. Within a multisite field trial, patients received intake diagnostic interviews by clinicians who made standard axis I through V diagnoses, then rated defense mechanisms using the Defense Mechanism Rating Scales (DMRS).

Discriminant Validity of the MMPI for Borderline Personality Disorder

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1985
This study explores the discriminant validity of the MMPI in relationship to the DSM-III and the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB) constructs of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). A two-way analysis of variance model assessed differences between inpatients (n = 42) and outpatients (n = 42) and between BPD and nonBPD patients.

Assessment of irrational beliefs: The question of discriminant validity

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1983
Previous evaluations of the psychometric properties of available measures of irrational beliefs have failed to examine the discriminant validity of these instruments. The present investigation (N = 142) of the relationship between measures of irrational beliefs and trait anxiety provided evidence of discriminant validity for one frequently used measure

The Self-Consciousness Scale: A Discriminant Validity Study

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1976
A recent Self-Consciousness Scale (SCS) measures Private and Public Self-Consciousness and Social Anxiety. The present research was intended to establish discriminant validity for the two Self-consciousness components with respect to several other variables.

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 ...

The Implications of Convergent and Discriminant Validity Data for Instrument Validation

Psychometrika, 1972
It seems intuitively compelling to many investigators that measurements, on the same subjects by different methods, purportedly of the same given trait are somehow better evidenced to be mutually valid measurements of that trait to the degree that they are intercorrelated. It is similarly compelling that measurements on the same subjects of purportedly

Strategy Application Test: Discriminate Validity Studies

Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2004
Purpose. Having a method of testing strategy application abilities provides important information for occupational performance. The goal of the present study was to investigate the discriminate validity of a strategy application test. This test measures the ability to apply and maintain a working strategy for efficient execution of tasks.

The Convergent and Discriminant Validity of the Need for Cognition Scale

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1987
This article reports two studies that examined the convergent and discriminant validity of the Need for Cognition Scale (Cacioppo & Petty, 1982). Using samples of college students and prison inmates, need for cognition scores were found to be positively associated with measures of self-esteem, masculine sex role attitudes, absorption, and private self ...

Validating software metrics: producing quality discriminators

Proceedings. 1991 International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering, 2002
The author proposes a comprehensive metrics validation methodology that has six validation criteria, each of which supports certain quality functions. New criteria are defined and illustrated, including consistency, discrimination power, tracking, and repeatability. He shows that certain nonparametric statistical methods like contingency tables play an
