Zusammenfassung. Die Studie untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Rumination und der persönlichen Zielerreichung bei Leistungssportlern. Im Rahmen einer Längsschnittuntersuchung, haben 44 Schwimmer_innen an einer Onlinebefragung mit vier Messzeitpunkten während der Wettkampfsaison 2014/15 teilgenommen. Der Online-Fragebogen enthielt neben der deutschen Version des Rumination Response Style Questionnaires (RSQ-D; Kühner, Huffziger & Nolen-Hoeksema, 2007 ), Fragen zu persönlichen Zielen und biographische sowie sportbezogene Fragen. Unter Berücksichtigung der individuellen Angaben zur Zielerreichung am Ende der Wettkampfsaison, wurden die Sportler_innen einer Realisierungsgruppe (n = 17) oder Vergleichsgruppe (n = 27) zugeordnet. Mittels multivarianter Varianzanalyse (MANOVA) wurde getestet, ob globale Unterschiede in der Rumination zu Beginn und am Ende der Wettkampfsaison zwischen den Gruppen bestehen. Sportler_innen, welche ihr individuelles Ziel erreicht haben, weisen im Vergleich zu denjenigen, die ihre Ziele nicht erreicht haben, niedrigere Ruminationswerte auf. Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass Rumination im Kontext der Zielerreichung auftritt und ein relevanter Faktor für den Leistungssport darstellen könnte.

This study examines the construct validity of the Young Schema-Questionnaire at the item level in a Dutch population. Possible bias of items in relation to the presence or absence of psychopathology, gender, and educational level was analyzed, using a cross-validation design. None of the items of the YSQ exhibited differential item functioning (DIF) for gender, and only one item showed DIF for educational level. Furthermore, item bias analysis did not identify DIF for the presence or absence of psychopathology in as much as 195 of the 205 items comprising the YSQ. Ten items, however, spread over the questionnaire, were found to yield relatively inconsistent response patterns for patients and nonclinical participants.

Abstract. The study reports results regarding the dimensionality and construct validity of a newly developed, objective, video-based personality test that assesses the willingness to take risks in traffic situations. On the basis of the theory of risk homeostasis developed by Wilde, different traffic situations with varying degrees of objective danger were filmed. During the test the respondents are asked to indicate at which point the action that is contingent on the described situation will become too dangerous to carry out. Latencies at the item level were recorded as a measure for the subjectively accepted degree of a person's willingness to take risks in the sense of the risk homeostasis theory by Wilde. In a study on 274 people with different educational levels and gender, the unidimensionality of the test as corresponding to the latency model by Scheiblechner was investigated. The results indicate that the Vienna Risk-Taking Test - Traffic assesses a unidimensional, latent personality trait that can be interpreted as subjectively accepted degree of risk (target risk value).
