The purpose of the study was the evaluation of Russian Oswestry questionnaire (disability index) version 2.1a reliability. Evaluation was performed on the basis of prospective cohort examination of 101 patients. All patients were questioned at the time of first examination, within 2-5 days after first visit and after completion treatment. Repetition of results, internal consistency of the test, correlation with visual analog scale (VAS) and SF-36 questionnaire subscales were studied. Repetition of results made up 0.96, Cronbach's a coefficient - 0.919, correlation with VAS - 0.668. Adapted of Russian Oswestry questionnaire version 2.1a is a valid and reliable tool. It is recommended for application in practical and scientific work for the evaluation of vital activity disturbances in patients with low back pains. The study was approved by Prof. J. Fairbank, the author of Oswestry questionnaire.

Social comparison is a valuable source of social cognition and personal quality informa- tion there is growing body of research on this topic in social and clinical psychology. So- cial psychologist’s studies demonstrate that social comparison orientation is an impor- tant individual trait. Special 11-item’s instrument The Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM) designed for its accurate assessment has been validated in American, Netherland and German samples. Russian version of INCOM has never been developed and validated in Russian samples. Aiming at the filling of this gap the task was installed in the project on social cognition research (grunt RSF №14-18-03461). Article presents the results of the instrument reliability and validity establishment among Russian students. Two series of factor analysis confirmed two-factor instrument struc- ture in the sample of 580 students. Acceptable scores of internal consistency and external validity of INCOM has been established along with its high test-retest reliability.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of Leach et al.’s (2008) model of in-group identification in two studies using Russian samples (overall N = 621). In Study 1, a series of multi-group confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the hierarchical model of in-group identification, which included two second-order factors, self-definition (individual self-stereotyping, and in-group homogeneity) and self-investment (satisfaction, solidarity, and centrality), fitted the data well for all four group identities (ethnic, religious, university, and gender) (CFI > .93, TLI > .92, RMSEA < .06, SRMR < .06) and demonstrated a better fit, compared to the alternative models. In Study 2, the construct validity and reliability of the Russian version of the in-group identification measure was examined. Results show that these measures have adequate psychometric properties. In short, our results show that Leach et al.’s model is reproduced in Russian culture. The Russian version of this measure can be recommended for use in future in-group research in Russian-speaking samples.

Background. Fatigue is the most common complaint by children both during and after cancer treatment, but in Russia, there is no reliable method for assessing fatigue. Objective. To develop a Russian version of the Turkish Scale for the Assessment of Fatigue in Pediatric Oncology Patients Ages 7-18. Design. Our first step was to translate all the items of the Turkish questionnaire into Russian. Then, through discussion, we created a single proposition for each item. The next step was obtaining expert opinions to assess the validity. Once the expert estimates agreed, a pilot version of the questionnaire was formed. The next step was to collect a large sample of patients to study the reliability and validity of the questionnaire. Results. As a result of factor analysis, three factors were identified. The first factor was "fatigue associated with actions;" the second was "fatigue as feeling;" and the third was "fatigue associated with sleep difficulties." The children's and parents’ versions had the same factor structure. Conclusion. This study showed the possibility of using the questionnaire in a Russian sample. That’s why it is necessary to continue collecting and analyzing data in this direction. The reliability of the test was also assessed. The reliability of the parent version scored a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.91. The reliability of the children’s version showed a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.93.

The paper describes the work on the adaptation of the MSCEIT v.2.0 methodology and the development of other methods within the framework of the model of emotional intelligence as ability that diminish sociocultural differences and specificity of stimuli when used in samples other than American ones. The article refers to the procedure for development and standardization of a new reliable psychodiagnostic Russian-speaking method for measurement of the level of development of emotional intelligence of a person. The TEI-method is based on the model of emotional intelligence as an ability by J. Mayer, P. Salovey and D. Caruso and the psychoevolutionary theory of emotions by R. Plutchik. According to the ability model, EI is defined as the ability to process information contained in emotions. In the process of creating a new methodology for measuring emotional intelligence — the TEI-method — the shortcomings of the standardization process of the Russian version of MSCEIT v.2.0 were identified, most of which were culturally specific. These shortcomings were taken into account. 1007 people aged 20 to 72 years (487 men and 520 women, average age 35.9 years) took part in the psychometric testing of the TEI-method. The differences of the TEI and the MSCEIT v.2.0 are described. The TEI-method demonstrates a satisfactory level of basic psychometric indicators of validity and reliability.

The aim of this study was to assess validity and reliability of the Russian version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The RSES was translated in Russian and completed by 213 Russian-speaking students in the age range from 16 to 24 years. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the one-factor structure with suitable reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0,82). The RSES has convergent validity in relation to the Dembo and Rubinstein’s Self-Esteem Scale. Thus, the Russian version of the RSES is a brief, valid and reliable measure of self-esteem in Russian population.

Purpose The goal of this clinical focus article is to illustrate how speech-language pathologists can document the functional language of school-age children using language sample analysis (LSA). Advances in computer hardware and software are detailed making LSA more accessible for clinical use. Method This clinical focus article illustrates how documenting school-age student's communicative functioning is central to comprehensive assessment and how using LSA can meet multiple needs within this assessment. LSA can document students' meaningful participation in their daily life through assessment of their language used during everyday tasks. The many advances in computerized LSA are detailed with a primary focus on the Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (Miller & Iglesias, 2019). The LSA process is reviewed detailing the steps necessary for computers to calculate word, morpheme, utterance, and discourse features of functional language. Conclusion These advances in computer technology and software development have made LSA clinically feasible through standardized elicitation and transcription methods that improve accuracy and repeatability. In addition to improved accuracy, validity, and reliability of LSA, databases of typical speakers to document status and automated report writing more than justify the time required. Software now provides many innovations that make LSA simpler and more accessible for clinical use. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.12456719

Traditionally, speech-language pathologists (SLP) have been trained to develop interventions based on a select number of perceptual characteristics of speech without or through minimal use of objective instrumental and physiologic assessment measures of the underlying articulatory subsystems. While indirect physiological assumptions can be made from perceptual assessment measures, the validity and reliability of those assumptions are tenuous at best. Considering that neurological damage will result in various degrees of aberrant speech physiology, the need for physiologic assessments appears highly warranted. In this context, do existing physiological measures found in the research literature have sufficient diagnostic resolution to provide distinct and differential data within and between etiological classifications of speech disorders and versus healthy controls? The goals of this paper are (a) to describe various physiological and movement-related techniques available to objectively study various dysarthrias and speech production disorders and (b) to develop an appreciation for the need for increased systematic research to better define physiologic features of dysarthria and speech production disorders and their relation to know perceptual characteristics.
