• In the Eye of the Impulsive Beholder (2009, background): “Compared to frequency scales, variety scales of antisocial behavior evince stronger psychometric properties, such as higher internal consistency, stability coefficients, and convergent validity ( Bendixen, Endresen, & Olweus, 2003 ).”
• Peers and delinquency among girls and boys: Are sex differences in delinquency explained by peer factors? (2012, unknown): “Using frequencies would bias the score towards high occurrences of relatively mild offences (for additional reasons to use variety indices instead of frequency ones, see Bendixen et al., 2003).”
