The Quantification of Violence Scale: A Simple Method of Recording Significant Violence
Background: Although there are many rating scales recording the incidence and intensity of violence there are none that are specifically concerned with the measurement and assessment of severe violence. Aims: To develop a scale sensitive to variation centred on severe violence, establish its normative values, test its feasibility, and assess its reliability and validity in different populations. Method: The Quantification of Violence Scale (QOVS)…
The Bed Requirement Inventory: A Simple Measure To Estimate The Need For A Psychiatric Bed
Objective: To develop an assessment of bed need that was as little affected by personal biasas possible. Method: The Bed Requirement Inventory (BRI) is an eight-point scale designed to identify the appropriate use of an acute psychiatric bed. This is completed by a member of the ward staff, usually a nurse, and takes 5 minutes to fill in. The reliability, validity and feasibility of using the scale in normal practice were tested in a one-year stu…
The Dependent Personality Questionnaire (DPQ): A Screening Instrument for Dependent Personality
Background: There are no specific instruments for rating dependent personality, although this may be an important subject in clinical practice, where knowledge of dependent personality features may influence treatment. Aims: To develop a simple self-rating questionnaire for dependent personality features and compare the findings in two groups, one with and one without established dependent personality disorder. Method: An 8-item Dependent Persona…

Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale: Reliability and Validity
Guidelines, criteria, and rules of thumb for evaluating normed and standardized assessment instruments in psychology.
In the context of the development of prototypic assessment instruments in the areas of cognition, personality, and adaptive functioning, the issues of standardization, norming procedures, and the important psychometrics of test reliability and validity are evaluated critically. Criteria, guidelines, and simple rules of thumb are provided to assist the clinician faced with the challenge of choosing an appropriate test instrument for a given psycho…
The reliability of peer review for manuscript and grant submissions: A cross-disciplinary investigation
The reliability of peer review of scientific documents and the evaluative criteria scientists use to judge the work of their peers are critically reexamined with special attention to the consistently low levels of reliability that have been reported. Referees of grant proposals agree much more about what is unworthy of support than about what does have scientific value. In the case of manuscript submissions this seems to depend on whether a disci…
The Child-Psychoanalytic Play Interview: A Technique for Studying Thematic Content
Child psychoanalysts have long viewed play as a reflection of children's inner lives and have used the themes children represent in play for diagnostic and therapeutic work. Given the central role children's play has for clinical work, few studies have addressed play empirically. This paper presents a technique for studying the thematic content of children's play as it emerges during a play session with a child analyst. We report the steps involv…

High agreement but low Kappa: I. the problems of two paradoxes
A Computer Program for Calculating Subject-by-Subject Kappa or Weighted Kappa Coefficients
This computer program calculates individual subject kappa or weighted kappa coefficients for each of the following three types of categorical data: (a) nominal (dichotomous/polychotomous), (b) ordinal (dichotomous /continuous), and (c) mixed scales of measurement (containing both nominal and ordinal features). Additional output includes criteria for determining levels of both statistical and clinical significance as well as specific tests of exam…

A Computer Program for Assessing the Reliability of Nominal Scales Using Varying Sets of Multiple Raters
This program computes multiple judge reliability levels under the following conditions: different sets of judges perform the ratings; the number of judges is a constant; and the scale of measurement is nominal
A Computer Program for Correlating Pairs of Variables when One is Measured on an Ordinal and the Other on a Continuous Scale of Measurement
The purpose of this article was to discuss the availability of a computer program which was designed to calculate coefficients of correlation when one of the variables in a pair is rank-ordered and the other is measured on a continuous or dimensional scale. Arguments are presented in favor of Jaspen's coefficient of multiserial correlation over other available statistical approaches
A Computer Program for Determining the Significance of the Difference Between Pairs of Independently Derived Values of Kappa or Weighted Kappa
A problem that is of interest to research investigators is the extent to which interrater reliability estimates, based upon categorical data, are similar between pairs of observers all of whom have independently evaluated the same sample of subjects. The problem can be resolved statistically by the computer program described herein
Reliability of reviews for the American Psychologist: A biostatistical assessment of the data
A Computer Program for Assessing Specific Category Rater Agreement for Qualitative Data
This program computes specific category agreement levels for both nominally and ordinally scaled data. For ordinally scaled data, an option is available for collapsing the original scale to a smaller number of categories, with the goal of improving the level of inter-rater reliability for the rating scale
Computer Programs for Assessing Rater Agreement and Rater Bias for Qualitative Data
The programs described compute rater agreement and rater bias statistics with qualitative data. They also utilize techniques for (a) selecting the most reliable from a set of raters and (b) identifying those cases which are the most diflicult for raters to classify
A Computer Program for Assessing the Reliability and Systematic Bias of Individual Measurements1
This program computes both the interjudge reliability of individual measurements and the extent to which the judges are biased in their ratings vis-à-vis each other. The methods proposed are recommended on the basis of recent developments in statistical research
