How Inconsistent Reporting Affects Bullying Victimization Estimates: A Data‐Adjusted Replication Study in 29 Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries
INTRODUCTION: Although inconsistent reporting can alter research findings, it is seldom accounted for in most research areas. This study assessed the impact of inconsistent reporting on bullying victimization prevalence through a partial replication of a study in 29 countries. METHODS: Analyses were restricted to adolescents aged 12-15 years (n = 191,228). Inconsistent reporting was defined based on contradictions in the responses to two bullying…
Psychometric Evaluation and Sociodemographic Measurement Invariance of the WHO-5 Well-Being Index among Adolescents in Luxembourg
The World Health Organization five-item Well-Being Index has been widely used to assess adolescents’ well-being. However, its structural properties and measurement invariance at both between- and within-country levels have been underexamined in this population. The present study aimed to fill this gap. Relying on a nationally representative sample of 9,007 school attendees in Luxembourg (MAGE = 14.7; SDAGE = 2.4; 48.7% female) and on both classic…
When “once or twice” does not count: Rethinking bullying measurement in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study
Bullying represents a major public health concern worldwide. Large-scale, cross-national surveys play a key role in estimating its prevalence and informing prevention policies. However, specific operational decisions may systematically bias these estimates. In particular, the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study has monitored in-school bullying since the early 1990s. In most HBSC publications, participants reporting having bullie…
Inconsistent Reporting Affects the Link Between Substance Use and Suicide Attempt in Adolescents
Aims: Although past research has documented substantial rates of inconsistent reporters on substance use and suicidality, most studies within these fields overlook this issue. This study (a) estimated the prevalence of inconsistent reporters on substance use and suicide attempt and (b) assessed the extent to which including or excluding these respondents affects the link between these variables. Methods: The study involved a representative sample…
Gender differences in adolescents' life satisfaction: A replication study in Kazakhstan
INTRODUCTION: Whether adolescents' life satisfaction varies with gender is unclear. In a recently published study, Brisson et al. found unadjusted mean scores of life satisfaction to be higher in boys than in girls in Luxembourg, a country ranking high in gender-equality indexes. However, gender was no longer predictive of life satisfaction when well-identified predictors of life satisfaction were included in the model. The present work aimed to …
Is the revised version of the Short Test of Musical Preferences a sound measure of musical tastes
The revised version of the Short Test Of Musical Preferences (STOMP-R) is thought to reflect the general structure of musical tastes. Although it has been extensively used in empirical music research, the STOMP-R has not been formally introduced in a dedicated publication. Consequently, its exact contents, aims, scope, and psychometric properties remain unclear. The present research evaluated the usability, reliability, and validity of the STOMP-…
Weight status and bullying victimization in adolescents: Underweight boys face increased in-school victimization
Research on the link between weight status and bullying victimization has overlooked underweight adolescents. This study aimed to assess the relationship between bullying victimization and weight status by covering the entire weight spectrum. Sex-specific patterns were investigated as well. I used data from a nationally representative sample of school attendees in Luxembourg (n = 9,432; MAGE = 14.8; SDAGE = 2.4; 48.6% female). Both in-school and …
On the overlap between aesthetic disposition, cultural eclecticism, and openness: An interdisciplinary study
Accounting for the gender gap in adolescents’ life satisfaction: Evidence from nationally representative samples of school attendees in Luxembourg
Research on gender differences in adolescents' life satisfaction has reported inconsistent findings to date. The present study aimed to (a) ascertain whether a gender gap in life satisfaction exists in Luxembourg, (b) estimate the predictive power of gender when controlling for wellidentified predictors of life satisfaction, and (c) assess potential gender differences in our predictors' influence on life satisfaction. We used data from 2006 to 20…
Music-genre identification in adolescents: An exploratory study
Perception of the usability of music-genre labels for the assessment of musical tastes
To identify and classify musical tastes, researchers have extensively relied on the use of music-genre labels. However, the validity and reliability of such a method remain unclear. In this study, we examined the extent to which 873 high school students felt able to assess their musical tastes based on music-genre labels. Participants were expressly asked to evaluate the usability of such labels. Results showed that a majority of respondents were…
Burnout and depression: Causal attributions and construct overlap
Burnout has been commonly regarded as a job-induced syndrome. In this 468-participant study (67% female; mean age: 46.48), we examined the extent to which individuals with burnout and depressive symptoms attribute these symptoms to their job. Fewer than half (44%) of the individuals with burnout symptoms viewed their job as the main cause of these symptoms. The proportion of participants ascribing their depressive symptoms to work was similar (39…

Distinction at the Class-Fraction Level? A Re-Examination of Bourdieu's Dataset
This study examines the consistency of Pierre Bourdieu's homology thesis by assessing, at a class-fraction level, the statistical significance of the differences in taste and lifestyle reported in Distinction. According to Bourdieu, taste and lifestyle vary not only from one social class to another, but also within social classes themselves, depending on the type of capital (notably, cultural or economic) that prevails among class fractions. In t…
La distinction: Addendum statistique
The aim of this study is twofold: first, to assess the statistical significance of the data used by Pierre Bourdieu in Distinction; second, to test the hypothesis that the volume of capital (i.e., the global amount of capital) allows for a finer discrimination of dispositional differences than the composition of capital (i.e., the respective weight of the different types of capital in the global amount of capital). To these ends, five data sample…
