Abstract: Validation study of the Stress Coping Questionnaire with trans people from Mexico. The Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CAE) is one of the most used instruments to evaluate coping strategies and styles in diverse populations; however, there is no evidence of its application in trans people, although this population is often discriminated, stigmatized, and presents social, occupational and health vulnerabilities. Therefor, the present study aimed to test factor structure of the CAE, prove internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validity of its factors, and describe the average profile of coping among trans people from Mexico. The sample consisted of 100 trans men and trans women, with ages ranging from 16 to 52 years, from different states of Mexico. The results showed that the CAE presents a factor structure different from that reported in other populations, with six first-order factors that show internal consistency and convergent and discriminant validity. The positive reappraisal factor was not defined, but was partially associated with the negative self-focusing factor. It is concluded that the CAE among trans people presents six first-order factors, with three higher-order underlying factors: negative emotional coping, social support and avoidant coping/religiosity.Resumen: El Cuestionario de Afrontamiento del Estrés (CAE) es uno de los instrumentos más usados para evaluar estrategias y estilos de afrontamiento; sin embargo, no se cuenta con evidencia sobre su aplicación en población trans, cuando ésta es objeto frecuente de discriminación, estigmatización y presenta diversas vulnerabilidades sociales, laborales y sanitarias. Así, este estudio tuvo como objetivos contrastar la estructura factorial del CAE, probar la consistencia interna y validez convergente y discriminante de sus factores, y describir el perfil promedio del afrontamiento en personas trans de México. La muestra se conformó por 100 hombres trans y mujeres trans con un rango de edad de 16 a 52 años de distintos estados de México. Los resultados mostraron que el CAE presenta una estructura factorial distinta a la reportada en otras poblaciones, con seis factores de primer orden que muestran consistencia interna y validez convergente y discriminante. El factor de reevaluación positiva no se definió, sino que parcialmente se asoció al de autofocalización negativa. Se concluye que el CAE en las personas trans presenta seis factores de primer orden a los que subyacen tres factores de orden superior: afrontamiento emocional negativo, apoyo social y afrontamiento evitativo/religiosidad.

The current study addresses the need for accurate measurement of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in youth by investigating the psychometric properties of the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS). The factor structure, reliability, and concurrent and discriminant validity of the CPSS were investigated in a sample of 206 6th- to 12th-grade adolescents. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis supported a single-factor structure, which was contrary to the hypothesized three-factor structure. Scores comprising this one-factor structure were also associated with high reliability (α = .93), and tests of concurrent and discriminant validity were also strong. The implications of these findings are discussed, with particular emphasis on future directions for research on self-report measures for adolescent PTSD symptoms.

Until recently, researchers operationalized and measured the psychological construct of forgiveness at the individual, rather than the group, level. Social psychologists started applying forgiveness to groups and examining the role intergroup forgiveness may have in conflict resolution and peace efforts. Initial attempts to define and measure forgiveness at the group level either assumed individual and group capacities were the same, or insufficiently described what intergroup forgiveness meant. We developed a new measure of intergroup forgiveness, and a novel group administration process, that operationalized the construct in a philosophically coherent way. Our conceptualization of intergroup forgiveness was rooted in what groups, as opposed to the individuals who compose them, have the capacity to do. We collected data on the psychometric properties of the measure with 595 participants in three different geographic and cultural settings. We assessed the factor structure, internal consistency, and validity of the measure. We also assessed a novel group-based method of administering the measure to better understand the relationship between group based reports and self-reports of intergroup forgiveness. The factor structure of the measure was supported, and the measure had strong internal consistency, as well as convergent and discriminant validity. The group administration process revealed important group dynamics and was not statistically different than a standard self-report administration; this finding has important implications for research and practice.

AbstractBackground and AimsTo address current gaps around screening for problematic pornography use (PPU), we initially developed and tested a six-item Brief Pornography Screen (BPS) that asked about PPU in the past six months.Methods and ParticipantsWe recruited five independent samples from the U.S. and Poland to evaluate the psychometric properties of the BPS. In Study 1, we evaluated the factor structure, reliability, and elements of validity using a sample of 224 U.S. veterans. One item from the BPS was dropped in Study 1 due to low item endorsement. In Studies 2 and 3, we further investigated the five-item the factor structure of the BPS and evaluated its reliability and validity in two national U.S. representative samples (N = 1,466, N = 1,063, respectively). In Study 4, we confirmed the factor structure and evaluated its validity and reliability using a sample of 703 Polish adults. In Study 5, we calculated the suggested cut-off score for the screen using a sample of 105 male patients seeking treatment for compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD).ResultsFindings from a principal components analysis and confirmatory factor analysis supported a one-factor solution which yielded high internal consistency (α = 0.89–0.90), and analyses further supported elements of construct, convergent, criterion, and discriminant validity of the newly developed screen. Results from a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve suggested a cut-off score of four or higher for detecting possible PPU.ConclusionsThe BPS appears to be psychometrically sound, short, and easy to use in various settings with high potential for use in populations across international jurisdictions.

Abstract. This paper introduces three new dimensions to the idiosyncratic deals’ (i.e., i-deals) literature, and develops measures for these dimensions to broaden the scope of research on i-deals beyond i-deal timing and content. Based on four studies, the paper proposes and validates three new scales for measurement of i-deal motivation as well as management of i-deals. In Studies 1 and 2, the scales were developed and tested for their factor structure, reliability, and discriminant validity. Studies 3 and 4 provided further evidence for the psychometric properties of the new i-deals measures and examined antecedents and outcomes of i-deal motivation and management. The results suggest that the three scales can be used to reliably measure i-deal motivation and i-deal management.
