The dental anxiety scale (DAS) – psychometric properties and longitudinal findings among middle-aged adults
This study provides evidence for DAS's reliability, temporal stability, and construct validity. Although dental anxiety showed a statistically significant decline it remains relatively stable for most participants. Findings indicate meaningful associations with psychosocial, behavioral, and health-related factors, supporting the potential value of interdisciplinary approaches that include psychological support in oral health care
How Did GDR Socialization in Adolescence Shape Political Attitudes More Than Thirty Years Later
In this article, we investigate the question of whether political socialization in the German Democratic Republic before the fall of the Berlin Wall has had an effect on current attitudes toward German unification and the role of intra-German migration in this context. We used the data of the Saxon Longitudinal Study to measure gdr identification of the respondents in 1987 and to test their influence on attitudes toward unification more than 30 y…
Psychometric evaluations of the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), based on nine samples
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine psychometric properties of the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R). DESIGN AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The LOT-R was administered in five clinical samples, three samples of the adult general population, and one sample of adolescents. Seven of the studies were performed in Germany and two in Colombia. All of the sample sizes were above 300. RESULTS: Cronbach's alpha coefficients were between .57 and…
Psychometric properties and validation of the English version Giessen Subjective Complaints List (GBB-8)
The English version of the GBB-8 has shown excellent psychometric properties. Therefore, it can be recommended for the assessment of psychosomatic complaints in contexts where short screening instruments are necessary
Are Attitudes towards Covid-19 Pandemic Related to Subjective Physical and Mental Health
In this paper, we investigate the relationship between a person’s psychological distress, subjective physical health and their attitudes towards the COVID-19 pandemic. The evaluation was performed on the basis of data from two waves of the Saxon Longitudinal Study, carried out in 2019 (pre-pandemic) and 2021. The number of study participants in both waves was 291. We tested in autoregressive cross-lagged models the stability of the respondents’ h…
Measuring physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects of exhaustion with the Boss II-short version – results from a representative population-based study in Germany
Overall, the BOSS II-short proved to be a valid and reliable instrument in the German general population allowing a brief assessment of different symptoms of exhaustion. Norm values can be used for early detection of exhaustion
Psychological and Socio-Economical Determinants of Health
A substantial body of research has shown worse health conditions for East- vs. West-Germany in the wake of reunification. In the present study, we investigate how these differences between the two formerly divided regions developed and what maintains them. Specifically, we consider the associations between health status, income satisfaction, and health-related locus of control. In a quasi-experimental and longitudinal study design, we are particu…
Jahre ostdeutsche Transformation
Seit 1987 begleitet die Sächsische Längsschnittstudie eine identische Gruppe Ostdeutscher auf dem Weg von DDR- zu BundesbürgerInnen. In diesem Buch werden ihre Einstellungen und Meinungen in Bezug auf die deutsche Wiedervereinigung sowie ihre Identitätsentwicklung ausführlich dargestellt. Obwohl die Mehrheit von ihnen die deutsche Einheit begrüßt, sich über gewonnene Möglichkeiten freut und die innere Einheit weiter voranschreitet, besteht doch i…
Factor Structure of the Self-Compassion Scale in 11 International Samples
In this study, different factor analysis models were employed to test the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) in 11 distinct populations (n = 15,266) in different countries. The results strongly suggest that the most appropriate use of the SCS is to measure levels of Self-Compassionate responding (positive items) and Self-Uncompassionate responding (negative items) separately
Social support in the general population
The normative data provide a framework for the interpretation and comparisons of social support with other populations
Psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), derived from a large German community sample
Gain +1 or Avoid −1
Overall, the RFQ can be recommended for application in fields dealing with motivation and goal attainment in a broad sense
Are happier people less vulnerable to rumination, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress? Evidence from a large scale disaster
The present longitudinal study tested hypotheses about the relationship of subjective well-being and neuroticism with rumination, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress in university students after a large scale disaster. Measures of subjective well-being and personality were obtained two months before the 2013 Santa Maria’s fire. Measures of rumination, PTSD and anxiety were collected five months after the disaster with the same students. The result…
"Get Up, Stand Up, Stand Up for Your Rights!" The Jamaicanization of Youth Across 11 Countries Through Reggae Music
We investigated whether Reggae preferences are associated with similar values across cultures compared with its culture of origin-Jamaica. Remote acculturation predicts that Reggae listeners across countries will share similar cultural values with Reggae listeners in Jamaica regardless of their cultural or geographical distance from the Caribbean island. We analyzed the correlations between preferences for Reggae music and Schwartz's 10 value typ…
A brief form of the Perceived Social Support Questionnaire (F-SozU) was developed, validated, and standardized
The Somatic Symptom Scale–8 (SSS-8)
IMPORTANCE: Somatic symptoms are the core features of many medical diseases, and they are used to evaluate the severity and course of illness. The 8-item Somatic Symptom Scale (SSS-8) was recently developed as a brief, patient-reported outcome measure of somatic symptom burden, but its reliability, validity, and usefulness have not yet been tested. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the reliability, validity, and severity categories as well as the referen…
Assessing modern health worries
Previous work suggests a four-factor structure of the Modern Health Worries Scale. This study is the first to investigate its dimensionality and factorial invariance across age and sex in a representative population sample ( N = 2524) using confirmatory factor analysis. The proposed four-factor model failed to achieve good model fit. Model fit was optimized by allowing correlating error terms resulting in acceptable model fit. Multi-group analysi…
Validation and development of a shorter version of the resilience scale RS-11
The RS-11 and the RS-5 are reliable, consistent and valid instruments to measure the ability of elderly individuals to successfully cope with change and misfortune
