The issue of the severity psychiatric disorders has great clinical importance. For example, influences decisions about level care, and affects to seek government assistance due disability. Controversy exists as efficacy antidepressants across spectrum depression severity, whether patients with severe should be preferentially treated medication rather than psychotherapy. Measures are used evaluate outcome in treatment studies may meaningful endpoints practice. But, what does it mean say that...
The goal of this study was to explicate how the lower order facets extraversion are related psychopathology. We used a "bottom-up" approach in which specific scales from 3 comprehensive personality inventories were model these as latent factors. collected both self-report and interview measures broad range psychopathology large community sample. Replicating previous findings using similar (Naragon-Gainey & Watson, 2014; Naragon-Gainey, Markon, 2009), structural analyses yielded four factors:...
Transdiagnostic frameworks such as the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) and Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) offer an exciting future for psychopathology research but may pose measurement data analytic challenges because historically researchers have often relied on Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (DSM) to guide assessment. We address these by providing recommendations (a) measure selection, (b) analysis, (c) participant recruitment when conducting from a...
The Prolific platform offers a potentially useful and efficient crowdsourcing option for repeated assessment substance use research, including psychometric research requiring large samples. We present both (a) series of practical recommendations using (b) data from multiple samples demonstrating Prolific's potential efficiently collected measures data.

Features of autism spectrum disorder, attention‐deficit/hyperactivity learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, and communication motor disorders usually emerge early in life are associated with atypical neurodevelopment. These “neurodevelopmental conditions” grouped together the DSM‐5 ICD‐11 to reflect their shared characteristics. Yet, reliance on categorical diagnoses poses significant challenges both research clinical settings (e.g., high co‐occurrence, arbitrary diagnostic...

The three major factors determining proton exchange membrane (PEM) cell dynamic performance, hydration/temperature, compressor time constant, bulk energy storage are analyzed. notion of multiple constants is introduced derived. various operating points cell, ripple current mitigation balance illustrated with experimental data.

Abstract Moods are a constant feature of human experience. Although we all experience good and bad moods, there individual differences in the propensity to positive negative feeling states. These assessed as traits under terms affectivity (PA) (NA), respectively. Studying relations between PA, NA, psychopathology has provided basic understanding emotional dysfunction range symptoms disorders. A substantial body evidence indicates that general NA is core many types psychopathology. In...

Quantitative, empirical approaches to establishing the structure of psychopathology hold promise improve on traditional psychiatric classification systems. The Hierarchical Taxonomy Psychopathology (HiTOP) is a framework that summarizes substantial and growing body quantitative evidence psychopathology. To achieve its aims, HiTOP must incorporate emerging research in systematic, ongoing fashion. In this article, we describe historical context grounding principles procedures for revising...
Although personality and emotion regulation abilities appear to overlap considerably, few studies have adopted an integrative approach by examining together. Therefore, it is unclear how much incremental power demonstrates in predicting psychopathology beyond traits, vice versa. Results from a community sample characterized high levels of (N = 299) indicated that represent strongly related but distinguishable constructs, with both showing the other many cases self-reported interview-rated...
Many labels are used within and across subfields to describe personality disorder (PD) interpersonally-oriented trait dimensions. For example, "interpersonal disorders" is a suggested alternative label "personality in clinical research. Other "dark trait" terms, though not proposed as formal for PDs, also different research areas describing externalizing traits. Terminology changes have been both due concerns about descriptors' validity their usage potentially being stigmatizing. Improving...
The Personality Inventory for DSM-5-Brief Form (PID-5-BF) has become widely used providing efficient self-report assessment of trait domains from the Alternative Model Disorders (AMPD). Existing studies PID-5-BF’s psychometric properties have been informative, but they often relied on monomethod assessment. We advance research psychometrics and understanding multimethod personality-psychopathology associations by conducting analyses integrating self-report, informant, interview measures. As...
Self-concept, which reflects individuals' overarching views of themselves and their qualities, has been implicated in the development depression. Studying developmental sex differences self-concept between middle childhood mid-adolescence may speak to processes by early contributes later depression risk; however, such an understanding requires valid assessment tools. We tested measurement invariance a widely used behavioral measure self-concept, Self-Referent Encoding Task (SRET), across age...
The optimal classification of mania symptoms within dimensional models such as the Hierarchical Taxonomy Psychopathology remains unclear, although progress has been made recently. We extend research by assessing and other domains at symptom level using a longitudinal, daily diary design (7-day period). Participants (N = 230; 1,243 total surveys) were adults recruited online based on having self-identified history significant mental health issues. Consistent with recent cross-sectional...
Background DSM-5 introduced the anxious distress specifier in recognition of clinical significance anxiety depressed patients. Recent studies that supported validity did not use measures were designed to assess criteria but instead approximated from scales part an existing data base. In present report Rhode Island Methods Improve Diagnostic Assessment and Services (MIDAS) project, we examined diagnosed with a semistructured interview. Two hundred sixty patients principal diagnosis major...
There has been growing interest in studying attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) adulthood as a result of research indicating that ADHD often persists into and frequently is comorbid with other psychiatric disorders. Adult symptoms are most commonly assessed via self-report, but prior examining the structure self-reported adult yielded discrepant results. Explicating factor symptom measures essential to determine if such self-report assess dimensions showing distinctive relations...

Extraversion shows both negative and positive associations with psychopathology. Previous work in this area has focused largely on either a broad higher order extraversion domain score or specific lower-order facets. The goal of study was to explicate how two intermediate aspects the trait-communal agentic extraversion-relate We examined these relations using Communal (e.g., enjoy spending time people, would describe myself as cheerful, like places that are crowded exciting) Agentic speak my...
