Test-retest reliability of the Spanish version of the junior Eysenck personality questionnaire

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to translate to Spanish the patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis subscale of the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS-PF) and validate this Spanish version of a disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for patellofemoral pain. Results The KOOS-PF was translated to Spanish and sixty patients with patellofemoral pain and/or osteoarthritis accepted to complete the questionnaire. 1-week later 58 patients answered the questions again for the test–retest reliability validation and finally 55 patients completed 1-month later for the responsiveness assessment. The Spanish version showed very good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.93) and test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.82). Responsiveness was confirmed, showing a strong correlation with the global rating of change (GROC) score (r 0.64). The minimal detectable change was 11.1 points, the minimal important change was 17.2 points, and there were no floor or ceiling effects for the score.

AbstractObjectiveTo test the reliability and validity of the DIGS in Spanish population.MethodsInter-rater and test-retest reliability of the Spanish version of DIGS was tested in 95 inpatients and outpatients. The resultant diagnoses were compared with diagnoses obtained by the LEAD (Longitudinal Expert All Data) procedure as “gold standard”. The kappa statistic was used to measure concordance between blind inter-raters and between the diagnoses obtained by LEAD procedure and through the DIGS.ResultsOverall kappa coefficient for inter-rater reliability was 0.956. The kappa value for individual diagnosis varied from major depression = 0.877 to schizophrenia = 1. Test-retest reliability was 0.926. Kappa for all individual target diagnoses ranged from 0.776 (major depression) to 1. Kappa between LEAD procedure and DIGS ranged from 0.704 (major depression) to 0.825 (bipolar I disorder).ConclusionMost of the DSM-IV major psychiatric disorders can be assessed with acceptable to excellent reliability with the Spanish version of the DIGS interview. The Spanish version of DIGS showed an acceptable to excellent concurrent validity. Giving the good reliability and validity of Spanish version of DIGS it should be considered to identify psychiatric phenotypes for genetics studies.

Background: The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) is an assessment tool developed to evaluate quality of life in patients with rotator cuff disease (RCD). The purpose of this study is to translate the WORC index into Spanish and to evaluate its reproducibility and internal consistency in patients with RCD. Methods: Following guidelines from literature, the WORC index was translated. Sixty patients with RCD were asked to complete the questionnaire. To evaluate reliability, they were asked to answer it for a second time within the next 14 days. The Cronbach’s α (CA) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated to determine test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Bland-Altman plot and reliable change index (RCI) were used to evaluate measurement error. Results: Cronbach’s α was 0.96 for the total WORC score (ranges 0.85-0.94 for the five domains).Excellent test-retest reliability was seen with an ICC of 0.98, with the domains ranging between 0.91-0.97. The Bland-Altman plot showed no systematic differences, and the RCI for the total WORC index was 7.6%. Conclusion: The Spanish version of the WORC index is a valid and reliable tool for evaluating quality of life in patients with RCD and may be used in Spanish speaking countries like Colombia. Level of evidence: Basic Science Study, Development or Validation of Outcomes Instruments/Classification Systems.

Test Retest Reliability

The reliability and the validity of a Japanese version of the short-form Eysenck Personality Questionnaire—Revised were examined for 329 college students and 253 adults. Coefficient alpha reliabilities for the four scales (Psychoticism, Extraversion/Introversion, Neuroticism, and Lie) were greater than 0.71 except for Psychoticism. Test-retest reliability of the four scales over 6 months ranged from 0.70 to 0.85, indicating a substantial stability. A confirmatory factor analysis supported the original theoretical structure of the four personality dimensions as proposed by Eysenck, Eysenck, and Barrett in 1985. Concurrent validity of the revised short-form was evaluated through the comparison of the four scores with the scores on the Maudsley Personality Inventory and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire. Over-all, the Japanese version of the revised short-form appears to be comparable to the original English version and would be useful for measuring personality in a wide range of settings.

Test Retest Reliability

Long-term reliability of the Frankfurt Complaint Questionnaire (FCQ) was investigated in two follow-up studies of participants with psychosis using a test-retest method. In the first study ( N = 56), the duration of the follow-up ranged from 6 months to 2 years; Spearman rho was .62 for the abridged (18 items) Spanish version of the questionnaire. In Study 2 ( N = 21), in participants with stable schizophrenia, the follow-up ranged from 8 to 11 years; test-retest Spearman rho was .83 for the French version of the questionnaire. Subjective experiences could constitute, in psychosis-prone people, traits or markers of psychotic vulnerability.

AbstractThree studies are presented to validate the Spanish version of Oliver and Raney’s (2008; 2011) eudaimonic and hedonic motivations scale. In Study 1, 132 university students watched a dramatic (sad) film, filling out the scales to evaluate motivations regarding cinema consumption and reception processes. Eudaimonic motivation was associated with deeper cognitive processes during the reception and stronger identification with the protagonist. Study 2 evaluated the test-retest reliability of the eudaimonic and hedonic motivations scale (

The internal consistency, test-retest reliability and factor structure of the Castilian Spanish version of the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) were studied with a sample of 1930 Spanish adolescents ( M age = 15.9 yr., SD = 2.1). Cronbach α for the whole sample was .85 (.81 for boys, .87 for girls). Test-retest reliability was also satisfactory: r = .75 for boys, .81 for girls, .79 for the whole sample. After applying principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation, two factors were identified that jointly accounted for 46.8% of the total variance, Anxiety and Social Dysfunction. The results suggest that the GHQ-12 items is a questionnaire with some satisfactory psychometric properties.

The Short Form of the Fonseca Anamnestic Index (SFAI) is a simple and quick questionnaire used for screening temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). The present study aimed to validate the Spanish version of the SFAI in patients with TMDs. The study sample comprised 112 subjects (50 TMDs and 52 controls). Test–retest reliability, factorial validity, internal consistency, concurrent validity, and the SFAI’s ability to discriminate between TMDs subjects and healthy controls were analyzed using the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD protocol) as the reference. Factor analysis showed a single factor that explained 63% of the total variance. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.849. The reliability of the items measured with the Kappa index showed values from 0.767 to 0.888. Test–retest reliability was substantial (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.837). The total SFAI score showed a significant correlation with orofacial pain, vertigo, and neck disability measurements. For a cut-off point of >10 points, the SFAI showed a sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 78.85% at differentiating between TMDs patients and healthy subjects, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.852. The Spanish version of the SFAI is a valid and reliable instrument for diagnosing people with TMDs and shows generally good psychometric properties.

Lucid dreaming, a specific phenomenon of dream consciousness, refers to the experience being aware that one is dreaming. The primary aim of this research was to validate a Spanish version of the Lucidity and Consciousness in Dreams scale (LuCiD). A secondary aim was to explore whether meditation experience and mindfulness trait were related to LuCiD scores. Data from 367 Spanish men (34.6%) and women (65.4%) who completed LuCiD, the Five Facets of Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) were examined. From the total sample, 40.3% indicated some experience with formal meditation (meditators), while 59.7% did not have any meditation experience (non-meditators). A random subsample of 101 participants, who completed LuCiD for a second time after a period of 10–15days, was used for test–retest reliability analysis. The LuCiD scale comprises 28 items distributed across eight factors: insight, control, thought, realism, memory, dissociation, negative emotion, and positive emotion. Factor structure, reliability by both internal consistency and test–retest reliability, and construct and concurrent validity were tested. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed the original eight-factor model, showing goodness of fit in contrast to a single-factor model. Item 15 was deleted from the Dissociation factor as it performed poorly (i.e., skewness and kurtosis, non-normal distribution of responses, and corrected item–total correlation under 0.40). The scale showed adequate values of internal consistency (between α=0.65 for Memory and α=0.83 for Positive Emotion) and test–retest reliability by significant Pearson correlations (p<0.001) for each factor. The scores of meditators were higher for the LuCiD scale Insight and Dissociation factors, in contrast to those of non-meditators. The Observing facet of mindfulness was positively associated with all LuCiD factors, except Realism and Positive Emotion, and the Acting with Awareness facet showed a negative correlation with the LuCiD factor Realism. Finally, positive and negative affects was associated with the LuCiD factors Positive Emotion and Negative Emotion. This study provides a valid and reliable measure for exploring lucidity and consciousness in dreams for a Spanish population, Moreover, the results suggest a relationship with meditation experience, mindfulness trait, and positive and negative affect.
