• Developing an optimal short-form of the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) (2019, methodology): “Screening scales should not be used to render clinical diagnoses (McDonald & Calhoun, 2010) but rather to focus attention on individuals most likely to warrant clinical evaluation.”
• Customized Computer-Based Administration of the PCL-5 for the Efficient Assessment of PTSD: A Proof-of-Principle Study (2017, methodology): “Researchers have attempted to reduce the length of the PCL, and versions with two, four, and six items have been empirically validated (Bliese et al., 2008; Lang & Stein, 2005; Tiet, Schutte, & Leyva, 2013).”
• Mental health consequences during the initial stage of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in Spain (2020, unknown): “The PCL-C-2 was used to detect the presence of certain phenomena related to traumatic experience.”
• Validating the primary care posttraumatic stress disorder screen and the posttraumatic stress disorder checklist with soldiers returning from combat. (2008, methodology): “With the PCL, Lang and Stein (2005) examined item-total correlations and correlations with cluster scores and showed that some items in the PCL provide more discriminate information than others (see also Blanchard et al., 1996).”
• Feeling The Urge: Affect in Impulsive and Compulsive Buying (2012, background): “As this research purposefully takes a narrow view of each construct, it appears appropriate to abbreviate multiple scales into one that maximizes itemtotal correlations while maintaining internal consistency (Lang and Stein 2005).”
• Gender-related differences in the psychological impact of confinement as a consequence of COVID-19 in Spain (2020, methodology): “A reduced version was chosen (Lang & Stein, 2005; Lang et al., 2012).”
