The Scientific Status of Projective Techniques (2000, background): “Some psychologists (e.g., Groth-Marnat, 1984) believe that the CS has eliminated response frequency problems by adjusting for R or using ratios.”
THE CONSTRUCT VALIDITY OF LANGUAGE APTITUDE (2015, background): “…construct involves the “theoretical knowledge of the trait and ability being measured, knowledge of other related variables, hypothesis testing, and statements regarding the relationship of the test variable to a network of other variables that have been investigated” (Groth-Marnat, 2003 , p. 22).”
PROCRASTINATION, CONSCIENTIOUSNESS, ANXIETY, AND GOALS: EXPLORING THE MEASUREMENT AND CORRELATES OF PROCRASTINATION AMONG SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN (2002, neutral): “… as the Minnesota Multi-‐Phasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the California Personality Inventory (CPI) generally have subscale reliabilities no higher than .85 (on the MMPI, see Hunsley, Hanson, & Parker, 1988; on the CPI, see Groth-‐Marnat, 1997).”
Measures of depression and depressive symptoms: Beck Depression Inventory‐II (BDI‐II), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES‐D), Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Patient Health Questionnaire‐9 (PHQ‐9) (2011, background): “Four items (4, 8, 12, 16) are worded in a positive direction to reduce a tendency toward response bias; these items are reverse coded.”
Do smart parents raise smart children? The intergenerational transmission of cognitive abilities (2010, result): “We therefore do not differentiate between fathers and mothers in the first instance but – similar to Bouchard and McGue (1981) – use the average of the parents’ test scores in order to maximize the number of observations.”
A Comparison of Psychometric Properties and Normality in 4-, 5-, 6-, and 11-Point Likert Scales (2011, background): “Goldstein and Hersen (1984) thought the interval assumption seemed unlikely, and Hart (1996) stated that the respondents did not use a linear interval scale.”
Assessing Alexithymia: Psychometric Properties and Factorial Invariance of the 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale in Nonclinical and Psychiatric Samples (2017, methodology): “70 was used as the criteria for acceptable levels of reliability (Groth-Marnat, 2009).”
On the application of Grey relational analysis and RIDIT analysis to Likert scale surveys (2007, background): “Data from a Likert scale survey is considered to be ordinal or arguably interval [4], [9], [12], [13], [16], [18], [20].”
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Computational Linguistics in Suicide Prevention (2021, background): “…this period of time, according to many computational scientists, marks the “revolution” of deep learning algorithms (Sejnowski, 2018)—computational models that rely on multiple layers (hence, deep ) of artificial neural networks, also known as deep neural networks (DNNs; Goodfellow et al., 2016).”
