Abstract: The use of inverted items is under vigorous debate in psychometric research. However, especially in the field of the Dark Tetrad – a compound of the aversive yet subclinical traits Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism –, the use of items in which high endorsement indicates low levels appears promising to obtain more information about low scores on the four traits. In this preregistered research ( N = 500), we developed an alternative version of the Short Dark Tetrad (SD4) which – unlike the original SD4 – has a balanced set of regular and inverted items. Following the theory of utilizing inverted items, we demonstrate that more information (in the sense of item response theory) can be obtained from the newly devised Mixed SD4 (MSD4) as compared to the original SD4. Thereby, the scores of the MSD4 can be validly interpreted in the sense of the underlying traits’ theories (i.e., construct validity), and the SD4 and the MSD4 yield highly similar nomological networks. We conclude that including inverted items is advantageous for the assessment of the Dark Tetrad. More generally, we present this case as a demonstration that balanced item sets are necessary to capture traits and behaviors exhaustively.

Abstract: The present research aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Romanian version of the thriving at work scale (TWS). Three studies were conducted to test the reliability and validity of the TWS. The first study ( N = 451) aimed to adapt and validate the Romanian version of TWS. The confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the second-order model with 10-items has a good value of the fit indices. The second study ( N = 435) tested measurement invariances, demonstrating that the Romanian version of this scale has varying levels of thriving at work across job tenure and a differential functioning of items 2 and 9 across age. The third study ( N = 312) cross-validated the second-order model. It tested the construct-related validity of TWS with other relevant constructs (job and career satisfaction, burnout, mental health complaints, performance). The results indicated that the TWS is a reliable and valid instrument demonstrating the crucial implications for Romanian working people’s well-being and career development.

Abstract: This research aims to develop a 15-item short form of the WOQ (WOQ-SF) and provide evidence for its reliability and validity. In Study 1 ( N = 305), we simplified the WOQ into a short version in line with the scale reduction procedure and recommendations ( Kruyen et al., 2013 ; Stanton et al., 2002 ). The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) reveals that the five factors of the WOQ-SF are conceptually distinct and correlated with each other. In Study 2 ( N = 442), the psychometric properties of the WOQ-SF were investigated. The findings of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirm a good factor structure. In addition, the measurement invariance of this shortened scale was examined across gender, age, education level, and job tenure. Regarding validity, significant correlations between the WOQ-SF and the original WOQ were found. Furthermore, the WOQ-SF demonstrates relationships with career satisfaction, work engagement, job satisfaction, and career planning, providing evidence for its validity. In sum, the WOQ-SF shows good psychometric properties comparable to the WOQ, suggesting it is a suitable alternative.

Abstract: We conducted a secondary analysis to evaluate two glare items versus a composite score from the two items in a sample of 544 patients (38% women; Mdn = 29 years old; 13% high school education or less) before and after eye surgery. The first question was from a National Eye Institute (NEI) survey and the second question included a definition and picture of glare. At baseline, 28% of participants reported glare on the NEI item versus 39% on the question with the definition and picture. There was 76% agreement between the two questions ( K = .46). Three months after baseline, there was no change in the percentage of participants who reported glare on the NEI question (27%), but a significant decrease in participants reporting glare on the question with the definition and picture (38% at baseline to 25% 3 months later). A 2-item glare scale was more reliable and highly correlated with multi-item measures of halos and starbursts than the individual items. Change in the scale was more strongly associated than the items with the change in satisfaction with vision and with satisfaction with surgery. The scale may provide a better indicator of glare than either item alone.

Abstract: The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5; Krueger et al., 2012 ) is a self-report questionnaire measuring pathological traits of personality disorders. Keeley and colleagues (2016) developed an Inconsistency Scale for the PID-5 (PID-5-INC) to detect random responses. We examined the ability of the PID-5-INC to detect inconsistent responders in a new linguistic context (Dutch) and age group (older adults). The Dutch PID-5 version ( van der Heijden et al., 2014 ) was administered to two Dutch community-dwelling younger (18–64 years old: N = 439) and older adults (65 years or older: N = 251). The PID-5-INC item pairs showed large interitem correlations in the younger adult sample and at least medium interitem correlations, except for one item pair, in the older adult sample. Similarly to Keeley and colleagues , a cut-off score of 17 was the optimal cut-off point for both the younger and older adult samples. However, for the younger adult sample, a cut-off score of 16 provided an even better balance between specificity and sensitivity. We concluded that our results support the use of the PID-5-INC in Dutch-speaking community-dwelling younger and older adults and point out the importance of including validity scales for self-report questionnaires.
摘要:DSM-5人格量表(PID-5);Krueger et al.， 2012)是一种测量人格障碍病理特征的自我报告问卷。Keeley及其同事(2016)为PID-5 (PID-5- inc)开发了一种不一致量表来检测随机反应。我们检测了PID-5-INC在新的语言背景(荷兰语)和年龄组(老年人)中检测不一致应答者的能力。荷兰PID-5版本(van der Heijden et al.， 2014)对两名居住在荷兰社区的年轻人(18-64岁:N = 439)和老年人(65岁及以上:N = 251)进行了研究。在年轻人样本中，PID-5-INC项目对显示出较大的项目间相关性，而在老年人样本中，除了一个项目对外，至少显示出中等的项目间相关性。与基利和他的同事类似，17分是年轻人和老年人样本的最佳分界点。然而，对于较年轻的成人样本，16分的临界值在特异性和敏感性之间提供了更好的平衡。我们的结论是，我们的结果支持在讲荷兰语的社区居住的年轻人和老年人中使用PID-5-INC，并指出在自我报告问卷中加入效度量表的重要性。

Abstract: To address the complexity of global challenges (e.g., migration, climate change), research must examine many constructs and their interrelationships. Therefore, efficient assessment methods (e.g., short scales) are required, especially when constructing large-scale social surveys. A widely used instrument for assessing global identification as an important predictor of behavior related to coping with global challenges is the Identification With All Humanity (IWAH) scale ( McFarland et al., 2012 ). With the present study, we aimed to investigate whether this scale can be sufficiently represented by a single item. Using bifactor-(S*I − 1) models, we analyzed whether one item from the scale itself (Item 5) and a related single-item measure from the World Values Survey (WVS; Inglehart et al., 2018 ) could adequately represent a German version of the IWAH scale. The sample ( n = 1,369) was representative of the German population regarding age, gender, income, education, and region of residence. Item 5 showed an appropriate single-item reliability (.82) and represented 64–93% of the true variance in the individual IWAH items, whereas the WVS item (Rel( Y WVS ) = .61) represented 52–81%. To reflect the multidimensionality of the IWAH, a 4-item short scale is recommended.
摘要:为了解决全球挑战的复杂性(如移民、气候变化)，研究必须考察许多结构及其相互关系。因此，需要有效的评估方法(如短量表)，特别是在构建大规模社会调查时。作为应对全球挑战相关行为的重要预测因素，广泛使用的评估全球认同的工具是全人类认同(IWAH)量表(McFarland et al.， 2012)。在本研究中，我们的目的是调查这个量表是否可以充分地代表一个单一的项目。使用双因子-(S*I−1)模型，我们分析了来自量表本身的一个项目(项目5)和来自世界价值观调查(WVS;Inglehart等人，2018)可以充分代表德国版的IWAH量表。样本(n = 1369)在年龄、性别、收入、教育程度和居住地区方面代表了德国人口。项目5显示出适当的单项信度(.82)，代表了IWAH单项真实方差的64-93%，而WVS项目(Rel(Y WVS) = .61)代表了52-81%。为了反映IWAH的多维度，建议使用4项短量表。

Abstract: This study aimed was to develop and validate a new instrument called the Work Preferences Questionnaire (WPQ) to measure individuals’ preferences for work characteristics that are relevant to today’s work environment. A multi-step approach and two samples were used to develop and validate the WPQ across various industries. In the first study, a group of experts developed a bank of items that were then administered to 984 workers. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a nine-factor structure with good internal consistency. In the second study, an independent sample of 687 workers was used to confirm the factorial structure and highlight the distinctness of the work preference dimensions. The study found small mean differences in interindividual preference scores based on age and confirmed data equivalence between gender and education level. The WPQ addresses limitations of existing measures by focusing on a narrow set of work preferences that are highly relevant in the current work environment and includes modern aspects such as teleworking and work-life balance. The WPQ promises to be an effective tool for research and human resources practices, enabling individuals and organizations to better understand work preferences and make informed decisions about work design and personnel selection.

Abstract: Guilt is an important correlate of the food choices parents make for their children. However, without a validated self-report measure of feeding-related guilt, researchers remain unable to reliably assess its consequences for parents and children. This study developed and validated the Parental Food Choice Guilt (PFCG) Scale. Items were iteratively developed based on feedback from parents and content experts and refined through three preliminary rounds of data collection. The final 7-item PFCG was evaluated using an Internet-based sample of 294 parents (194 mothers, 99 fathers) of children aged 3–13. Participants responded to the PFCG alongside measures of child eating habits, parent feeding behavior, and guilt-proneness. Exploratory factor analysis indicated the unidimensionality of the underlying construct. A Graded Response Model indicated all items functioned well psychometrically. Internal consistency was high (Cronbach’s α = .90). Differential item functioning was not detected by parent gender, parent or child weight status, or parent education. The PFCG was positively correlated with global guilt, parenting-related guilt, and poorer child eating habits, and negatively correlated with feeding self-efficacy and healthfulness of the child’s diet. The PFCG is a reliable and valid measure that will aid researchers across many applications, including clarifying guilt’s role in child feeding.

Abstract: The Personal Relative Deprivation Scale (PRDS; Callan et al., 2008 , 2011 ) captures feelings of dissatisfaction and resentment deriving from the judgment that one is deprived of personally relevant outcomes compared to what other (similar) individuals have. Despite its good psychometric properties in Western English-speaking samples, recent investigations on the generalization of the PRDS to other cultural contexts have shown inconsistencies in reproducing the unidimensional latent structure and high internal consistency of its scores. Using expert evaluations and empirical data from seven community samples ( N TOTAL = 1,985), this multi-study investigation developed and validated the Spanish-language version of the PRDS (SP-PRDS). Our instrument first demonstrated robust unidimensionality, invariance across gender and age groups, and high internal and temporal consistency. Furthermore, our investigation found that this measure exhibits a coherent network of correlates with intra- and interpersonal psychological outcomes. SP-PRDS scores were connected with reduced subjective and psychological well-being. They were also more strongly related to broader affective manifestations (high envy, anger, and hostility) than to more concrete behaviors (physical/verbal aggression, prosocial behaviors, and online trolling). Notably, these associations were independent of individuals’ social class. The SP-PRDS represents a promising tool for measuring PRD in Spain and, potentially, in other Spanish-speaking populations worldwide.
个人相对剥夺量表(PRDS);Callan et al.， 2008, 2011)捕捉到了一种不满和怨恨的感觉，这种感觉来自于与其他(相似)个体相比，一个人被剥夺了个人相关结果的判断。尽管它在西方英语样本中具有良好的心理测量特性，但最近对PRDS在其他文化背景下的推广研究表明，它在再现单维潜在结构方面存在不一致性，其得分具有很高的内部一致性。利用专家评价和来自7个社区样本(N TOTAL = 1985)的经验数据，这项多研究调查开发并验证了西班牙语版本的PRDS (SP-PRDS)。我们的工具首先展示了强大的单维性，跨性别和年龄组的不变性，以及高度的内部和时间一致性。此外，我们的调查发现，这一措施显示出一个连贯的网络与内部和人际心理结果相关。SP-PRDS得分与主观和心理幸福感下降有关。它们与更广泛的情感表现(高度嫉妒、愤怒和敌意)的关系也比与更具体的行为(身体/语言攻击、亲社会行为和网络挑衅)的关系更强。值得注意的是，这些联系与个人的社会阶层无关。SP-PRDS是一种很有前途的工具，可用于衡量西班牙和世界其他讲西班牙语人口的PRD。
