Abstract
Abstract The Trauma Inventory for Partners of Sex Addicts (TIPSA) represents a pioneering attempt to measure trauma in the partners of sex addicts. In this study, we utilized a large sample of TIPSA responses to examine the impact of rescoring empirically disordered response options on error variance and scale reliability. Results suggested that rescoring by collapsing categories in response to empirical response option disordering has a mixed and marginal impact on error variance and scale reliability, and may not be beneficial from a practical standpoint in terms of reducing nuisance variation. Importantly, results also support the conclusion that measurement and diagnosis are distinct endeavors that serve two separate purposes.
期刊介绍：
Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction & Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective.
