▼ This study is focused on feigning mental disorder within the legal context in order to evade criminal responsibility. More specifically, the purpose is determining whether the variables derived from the Rorschach task are able to distinguish between individuals who suffer from severe mental illness (e.g., psychotic disorders), and those who attempt to appear insane (i.e., malinger) using the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS; Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard, & Erdberg, 2011). The problem of malingering on psychological tests is particularly important in the forensic context where assessors are trying to determine competency to stand trial and criminal responsibility. No single reliable measure for detecting malingering has been identified to date. Although the literature thus far has been equivocal regarding findings on malingering, the Rorschach variables most often associated with faking psychopathology are the Dramatic Content scores. The Critical Content (CritCont%) scores on R-PAS are almost identical to the Dramatic Content Malingering Index (encompassing the scores Morbid, Aggressive Movement, Blood, Explosion, Sex, and Fire) with the addition of one other score: Anatomy. The purpose of this study was to extend the previous research and investigate if the CritCont% can be used as a marker of malingering on R-PAS. Further, this study investigated whether the prediction improved by adding to the CritCont% composite two variables that are not found in the CS and are part of R-PAS (Aggressive Content [AGC] and Mutuality of Autonomy Pathology [MAP]). Mod-Alive, one of the modified responses proposed by Netter and Viglione (1990, 1994), in an attempt to better distinguish between patients who suffer from schizophrenia and individuals who attempt to malinger on the Rorschach, was investigated as well. Mod-Alive is scored when an individual is relating to the inkblot card as if it was alive (e.g., "this monster will get me"; Netter & Viglione, 1994, p. 46). Lastly, I investigated whether there is a systematic and consistent difference between the three groups studied: control subjects, a malingering group, and a forensic inpatient group, on R-PAS Thought and Perception variables, specifically the Thought and Perception Composite (TP-Comp), Weighted Sum of Cognitive Codes (WSumCog), and proportion of responses with distorted form quality (FQ-%). Results indicated that CritCont% significantly differentiated between the groups and a liner trend was significant showing an increase in scores, with the student malingering group producing a higher number of CritCont% scores than the forensic inpatient group and the student control group. Adding the AGC score to the CritCont% improved the prediction and magnitude of the effect size. Mod-Alive differentiated between the student control group and the malingering group. Although no significant differences were found on Mod-Alive scores between the patient and malingering group, diagnostic efficiency statistics for this variable determined that a cutoff score of 1 or… Advisors/Committee Members: Mihura, Joni (Committee Chair).

▼ Evaluating the psychometric properties of a newly developed instrument is critical to understanding how well an instrument measures what it intends to measure, and ensuring proposed use and interpretation of questionnaire scores are valid. The current study uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques to examine the factorial structure and invariance properties of a newly developed construct called Superwoman Schema (SWS). The SWS instrument describes the characteristics of a superwoman (strong woman) which consists of 35 items representing five subscales: obligation to present an image of strength, obligation to suppress emotions, resistance to being vulnerable, intense motivation to succeed, and obligation to help others. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and a multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) model were the SEM approaches used to examine measurement invariance in the SWS instrument. Specifically in the multigroup CFA analyses, configural invariance, metric invariance, intercept invariance, residual variance invariance, and latent mean invariance are examined between a group of young (18-39 years old) women and middle-aged (40-65 years old) women. In the MIMIC model, the hypothesized model of the SWS was used to investigate the group differences in the young and middle-aged women. Both SEM techniques provided a didactic discussion about the findings of the study, which confirmed that the SWS instrument could be broadly used (i.e., invariance held) to compare young and middle-aged African American women on superwoman characteristics. Further research is needed to better understand the possible contextual factors (i.e., racial or gender stereotyping, oppression, spiritual values, etc.) that may contribute to group differences on the SWS subscales and minor violation to invariance.; Confirmatory Factor Analysis, Invariance, Structural Equation Modeling, Superwoman, Superwoman Schema, Survey Development Advisors/Committee Members: John Willse (advisor).

Use of a single, standardised instrument to make high-stakes decisions about testtakers is pervasive in higher education. Contrary to longstanding best practices encouraged by researchers, professional organizations, test publishers, and many accrediting bodies, however, few, if any such institutions have endeavoured to meaningfully validate the instrument(s) they use for their specific context and purposes. The current study attempted to address this void by developing and applying an argument-based validation framework for two widely adopted placement assessment methods - a standardised placement test (Accuplacer), and a locally developed and marked writing sample - utilised by a 2-year higher education institution in the Pacific. A hybrid of two validation structures - Kane's interpretive model and Bachman's assessment use argument - was implemented in order to assure a balanced focus on both test score interpretation and test utilization. Various types and sources of evidence informed the study, including instrument outcomes, student course results, institutional practices and policies, test publisher data, and the opinions of stakeholders gathered via focus group interview and questionnaires. Results are argued to provide insights regarding a number of current issues in the literature, including: i) debates regarding the relative strengths and weaknesses of standardised tests and locally developed and marked writing samples for informing placement decisions; ii) the value of locally conducted validation efforts to evaluate the performance and impact of an institution's chosen assessment instruments, and identifying opportunities for improvement; and iii) the need for further argument-based validation studies, particularly those which attend to both test score interpretation and the longneglected area of test utilization, to be carried out wherever assessments are used to make decisions which impact stakeholders.

▼ Research has shown a possible causative link between playing the popular videogame Tetris and improvements in Mental Rotation performance. The aim of the present study was to address a question about an aspect of Tetris expertise that had not yet been factored into any of the existing work on Tetris and Mental Rotation. David Kirsh and Paul Maglio (1994) have shown that skilled Tetris players appear to use physical actions as substitutes for, or compliments to, mental operations. This is hypothesised to include physically rotating game pieces instead of Mentally Rotating them. The specific question we sought to address in the present study was whether these physical substitutes for mental operations, which Kirsh and Maglio call epistemic actions, have an effect on Tetris' efficacy as a Mental Rotation training task. In order to address this research question, three groups of subjects were administered tests of Mental Rotation ability before and after a five week training period. The training period consisted of a total of five, hour long, laboratory sessions - evenly spaced across the training period - in which each of the three groups were required to play an assigned video-game. The results showed that a group of subjects (N=13) who received Tetris training on the version of the game that made epistemic actions involving rotation impossible showed no greater Mental Rotation performance gains when their results were compared to a group of subjects (N=13) trained using a Standard version of Tetris. This suggests that the occurence of epistemic actions does not have an impact on Tetris' efficacy as a Mental Rotation training task. Further, neither of these two groups showed greater Mental Rotation performance gains than the non-Tetris control group (N=14), a result which suggests that, at least under some circumstances, Tetris training fails to impart Mental Rotation performance gains any greater than what can be expected due to retest effects.

▼ Multilevel nonnested data structures are common in many research areas. The traditional hierarchical linear modeling requires purely nested data structures and thus cannot be utilized to analyze multilevel nonnested data. In the context of student mobility in educational research, this dissertation proposes a reparameterized multiple membership model for multilevel nonnested longitudinal data. The reparameterized multiple membership model assumes that school effects on student growth rates are cumulative and thus the effects of all schools attended by mobile students are weighted. It has a more tenable assumption than that of the existing cross-classified approach to student mobility. It is more parsimonious than the existing cross-classified multiple membership approach to student mobility. Therefore, it is a strong alternative approach to modeling student mobility in longitudinal studies. Three studies are conducted to evaluate the estimation performance of the reparameterized multiple membership model and investigate the consequences of model misspecification under various simulation conditions. In the first study, the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Cohort data are analyzed to compare different approaches to modeling student mobility and achievement growth in longitudinal studies. Guided by real data analyses, two Monte Carlo simulation studies are conducted to evaluate the estimation performance of both correctly specified models and misspecified models under simulation conditions that emulate student mobility in educational research. The first simulation study uses the cross-classified multiple membership model as the true model for data generation. The second simulation study treats the reparameterized multiple membership model as the true model for data generation. In both simulation studies, simulated data are analyzed by the hierarchical linear model, the cross-classified multiple membership model, and the reparameterized multiple membership model. Results indicate that Bayesian Monte Carlo Markov Chain estimation can successfully recover various parameters of the reparameterized multiple membership model under all simulation conditions. However, the cross-classified multiple membership model has difficulty to recover random effects parameters at the school level in case of low mobility rate or low percentage of variance between schools. Though some parameters in both models tend to be overestimated when the number of schools is small, biases in the reparameterized multiple membership model are smaller. Model misspecification does not affect estimates of fixed effects parameters, but it induces substantial biases into estimates of random effects parameters, particularly for the slope variances at the student level and the school level. The mobility rate and the percentage of variance between schools affect the magnitudes of biases in misspecified models. The hierarchical linear model ignores student mobility and underestimates the percentage of variance between… Advisors/Committee Members: Pan, Wei (Committee Chair).

▼ The Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS) is used to measure functioning of children and adolescents in daily life activities. It was designed to assess youth with emotional, behavioral, psychological, or substance use problems. The CAFAS is currently being used in 30 states, typically to shape a child’s treatment plan, based on the deficiencies the youth is experiencing. Despite its widespread use, the psychometric properties of the CAFAS are currently unclear in the literature, as is the degree to which the CAFAS is useful with different child and adolescent populations. The current study evaluated the psychometric properties of the CAFAS in a sample of 1121 juvenile justice youth, including the internal reliability of the CAFAS subscale scores to CAFAS Total score, as well as the criterion and convergent validity. These youth were enrolled in a juvenile justice treatment program at a Community Mental Health Center in Southeast Michigan. Enrollment in this particular program is based on the youth’s home address, and they must have committed some crime, ranging from status offense to felony offense. Results of the current study indicated that the internal reliability of the CAFAS, assessed by computing coefficient alpha values for the CAFASivsubscale scores to CAFAS Total, was fair to moderate. Convergent validity was examined by comparing CAFAS subscales to comparable scales from the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI). These results indicated limited convergent validity between the CAFAS and the MACI scales. Criterion-related validity was examined by comparing the number and severity of offenses committed prior to intake to the CAFAS scores at intake. Results indicated the current study demonstrated significant gender differences between several of the CAFAS subscales at intake, as well as significant differences between some CAFAS subscales, both of which indicate that the individual CAFAS subscales should be utilized separately, rather than just using the CAFAS Total score as an overall level of functioning. Although the CAFAS Total score is typically used as an overall assessment of level of functioning, the results of the current study suggest that the individual CAFAS scores should be examined separately, with special attention given to gender differences Advisors/Committee Members: Bullock, Wesley (Committee Chair).

▼ This thesis aimed to develop a paradigm for the study of anomaly handling and to investigate the factors that influence success in detecting and classifying anomalies. A simulated anomaly-handling environment was created to mimic an intelligence analysis task in a security setting. A series of experiments was designed to test hypotheses concerning sources of difficulty in detecting potential anomalies and making decisions about appropriate classifications of potentially anomalous events. Results across all experiments showed that complex problems, representing anomalies, were more difficult to solve than simple problems, and that this poor performance was consistent with the use of suboptimal strategies based on recognition of perceptual characteristics rather than inferences drawn from available data. Performance on complex problems was reduced still further when participants were exposed to trials that established a mental set. However, performance was improved when participants were given feedback on the correctness of their responses to each trial, which eliminated the negative effects of exposure to mental set. Another factor that impacted on successful decision-making was the cost of making errors. When participants were faced with a penalty for making incorrect decisions, solution rates improved compared with when performance was not related to reward. This has consequences for anomaly handling industries where the consequence of failure of often high. Unexpectedly, a number of the results indicated that there are situations where mental set may confer a benefit to decision making in a task of anomaly categorisation. Given the dominance of recognition-based strategies, it appears that mental set can refine the detection of perceptually relevant patterns, which can signal sudden changes in pattern that can lead to a switch from recognition-based to inferential task solution strategies. Overall, the merits for the use of simulated environments in critical decision making areas are discussed, and the contributory factors towards successful anomaly handling are analysed.

▼ Increases in the obese population of the United States have subsequently led to increases in the numbers of bariatric surgeries pursued. However, despite increases in the number of surgeries performed, the success rate of the surgeries still remains acutely tied in with adherence to lifestyle modifications post-surgery, which are products of individuated attitudes and beliefs. Identification of these variables pre-surgery may enable health-care professionals to brainstorm preemptive intervention techniques aimed at providing support to bariatric patients post-surgery. However, no measures to identify such attitudes and beliefs exist. This qualitative study utilized Cognitive Interviewing to assess sources of response error in two new measures designed to identify attitudes and beliefs of candidates for bariatric surgery. Our hypothesis was that the newly created measures would be easy to understand and answer. METHODS: Twenty patients attending a bariatric clinic were offered $20 gift cards to answer questions on The Eating Behaviors Self-Efficacy Measure and The Perceived Barriers to Exercise Measure. A standardized instruction script asking participants to “thinkaloud” while answering questions was read before each interview. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed to assess similarities in sources of response error. RESULTS: The majority of participants (90%) struggled with understanding/executing instructions of the measures. In addition, several specific items were identified as sources of confusion. Recommendations to reduce sources of response error were made to the test-makers. CONCLUSION: Although the hypothesis was not supported, future adaptation of recommendations could decrease most sources of response error. Additional Cognitive Interviewing after instrument refinement was recommended. After revision, The Eating Behavior Efficacy Measure and The Perceived Barriers to Exercise Measure should receive pilot testing in a longitudinal investigation of the scales’ validity and reliability for clinical use.

▼ BACKGROUND: The purpose of this project is to examine the potential of abbreviated cognitive screening to identify patients with clinically significant cognitive dysfunction. A secondary goal is to examine relationships between cognitive functioning and psychosocial factors of disease. SUBJECTS: The study includes 94 subjects with a Demyelinating disease [M age = 45.04 (11.08); M education = 15.40 (2.13)] who were referred to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Center and Multiple Sclerosis Program and signed informed consent for a larger study on cognition in multiple sclerosis and demyelinating disease. METHOD: Subjects completed a screening battery (JoL, 9HPT, PASAT, SDMT-Oral, and T25FW) at visit one and a larger cognitive assessment within 4 weeks of visit one, which was used to divide subjects into impaired and non-impaired groups. Linear regression was used to assess which tests on the screening battery predicted impairment on the longer battery. Associations between psychosocial factors of depression, fatigue, and sleepiness were examined in relation to cognitive performance. The relationship between depression and objective versus subjective cognitive performance was also examined. RESULTS: The PASAT (p = .001) was the only measure in the screening battery that predicted group membership, with correct classification of 76% of subjects using a cut score of T ² 38. Depression (QIDS-SR) was significantly correlated with self-reported cognitive dysfunction (MSNQ) (r = .57; p = <.001) but only modestly associated with the four measures on the screening battery (r = -.17 to .25). Those who endorsed depressive symptoms performed lower on JoL(p = .003), PASAT (p = .015) and SDMT (p = .023). Level of fatigue was associated with cognitive performance, as significant mean differences were found on all screening battery measures in high versus low fatigue groups. There was no impact of sleepiness on cognition. DISCUSSION: Complex attention was the most sensitive measure for predicting cognitive impairment on a more comprehensive battery and may be a good screening tool in identifying who might benefit from more detailed testing. Higher levels of depression and fatigue significantly impacted test performance and highlight important areas for screening and treatment, while daytime sleepiness had no effect.

▼ Mental health recovery is a complex phenomenon involving clinical, functional, physical, and social dimensions. The social dimension is understood to involve meaningful relationships and integration with supportive individuals and a wider community. While the recovery model developed from a movement led by consumers and survivors of the mental health system to promote hope, self-determination, and social inclusion, the clinical aspects of recovery have dominated mental health research and practice. The under-investigated area of social recovery calls for psychometrically sound measurement instruments. The purpose of the current study was to develop and validate the Social Recovery Measure (SRM). The study was grounded in disability and mad theories which locate disability at the intersection of the person and the environment. The SRM is a 19-item self-administered instrument scored on a 5-point Likert scale that consists of two domains: Self and Community. Items for the SRM were developed through focus groups and interviews with 41 individuals in recovery from mental health challenges and the preliminary measure was administered to a purposive, nonprobability sample of 228 individuals in recovery. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted and a re-specified model resulted in good model fit. The SRM exhibited excellent internal consistency with a Cronbach's coefficient alpha of .951 and demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability, content validity, and construct validity. Social recovery is highly relevant for social work given the discipline's commitment to disenfranchised populations and investment in creating enabling environments. The SRM has utility for use in evidence based practice and evaluation. The SRM can be used to further research in social recovery, test underlying theory bases, and explore the differential effects of the multiple dimensions of recovery. There is a need to better understand social recovery which this measure can facilitate. Advisors/Committee Members: Maria Talbott.

▼ The purpose of this study was to collect normative data for a computer-assisted version of the Comalli Stroop Test, a commonly used neuropsychological measure. Additionally, the study was aimed at investigating the self-corrected errors on the Stroop Test, which have not previously been accounted for on the traditional test versions. Participants included one hundred and seventy two individuals from Cleveland State University and the community. Participants were administered computer-assisted versions of the Comalli Stroop Test and Trail Making Test. Participants were also asked to rate their agreement to four statements on a 5-level Likert scale to assess self-perceptions of testing. Errors, self-corrected errors, and time of completion for both tasks were recorded. Answers to the Self-Monitoring Scale were scored and recorded. The results of this study show that age and education both affected the quantity and location of errors and self-corrected errors on the Stroop Test. The Trail Making Test, which was used to validate the errors on the Stroop Test, showed a similar pattern of location of errors to the Stroop Test. Errors were frequently made in the middle to later portions of these tests, whereas self-corrections were made in the earlier portions. This pattern is partially due to participants’ limited cognitive and attention resources as the tests progress. The results of this study suggest that self-corrections are measuring a separate construct than errors on the Stroop Test. The ability to self-correct on the Stroop Test is a sign of mental health, flexibility, and ability to self-monitor. Utilizing the self-corrected errors on the Stroop Test gives test administrators an additional tool in detecting control, and higher mental processes. Also, the results demonstrate that errors are measuring a separate construct than time of completion. The traditional approach to neuropsychological testing examines the total number of errors and time of completion for the entire task, rather than examining the critical parts of each task separately (the middle to latter portions). When only examining composite scores, significant increases in errors or time of completion from more difficult portions of the test are being averaged with better performance from the easier portions, yielding a score within normal limits. The results of this study support the process approach to neuropsychological testing. Advisors/Committee Members: Poreh, Amir (Committee Chair).
