On the Meaning of the “<i>P</i> Factor” in Symmetrical Bifactor Models of Psychopathology: Recommendations for Future Research From the Bifactor-(<i>S</i>−1) Perspective Open
Symmetrical bifactor models are frequently applied to diverse symptoms of psychopathology to identify a general P factor. This factor is assumed to mark shared liability across all psychopathology dimensions and mental disorders. Despite t…

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire: An examination of factorial, convergent, and discriminant validity using multitrait-multirater data. Open
This study examined the factorial, convergent, and discriminant validity of scores on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), a tool for screening children's psychological adjustment. Data were collected from a community sample…

Modeling and Predicting Complex Patterns of Change Using Growth Component Models: An Application to Depression Trajectories in Cancer Patients Open
In this paper, we present a general and flexible framework for constructively defining growth components to model complex change processes. Building on the concepts of the latent state-trait theory (LST theory; Steyer, Ferring, & Schmi…

Are Sluggish Cognitive Tempo, ADHD, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder Trait- or State-Like Constructs from Prekindergarten to Fourth Grade? Open
The objective was to determine the proportion of trait (consistency across occasions) and occasion-specific variance in sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-inattention (IN), ADHD-hyperactivity/im…

Examining Quadratic Relationships Between Traits and Methods in Two Multitrait-Multimethod Models Open
Psychological researchers are interested in the validity of the measures they use, and the multitrait-multimethod design is one of the most frequently employed methods to examine validity. Confirmatory factor analysis is now a commonly use…

LONGITUDINAL CORRESPONDENCE OF GROWTH IN DIFFERENT INDICATORS OF HEALTH Open
Multiple indicators of self-rated health exist and are valuable proxies for health in older adults. Self-rated health is commonly assessed with one question and commonly take one of three common wordings where participants are asked to rat…

Examining Trait × Method Interactions Using Mixture Distribution Multitrait–Multimethod Models Open
Multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) analyses are used in psychology to assess convergent and discriminant validity and to study method effects. Most current MTMM approaches assume that measures have equal convergent and discriminant validity acr…

Using Multigroup-Multiphase Latent State-Trait Models to Study Treatment-Induced Changes in Intra-Individual State Variability: An Application to Smokers' Affect Open
Sometimes, researchers are interested in whether an intervention, experimental manipulation, or other treatment causes changes in intra-individual state variability. The authors show how multigroup-multiphase latent state-trait (MG-MP-LST)…

Trait and state variance in oppositional defiant disorder symptoms: A multi-source investigation with Spanish children. Open
The objective was to determine and compare the trait and state components of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptom reports across multiple informants. Mothers, fathers, primary teachers, and secondary teachers rated the occurrence of…

Analyzing Statistical Mediation with Multiple Informants: A New Approach with an Application in Clinical Psychology Open
Testing mediation models is critical for identifying potential variables that need to be targeted to effectively change one or more outcome variables. In addition, it is now common practice for clinicians to use multiple informant (MI) dat…

Collapsing factors in multitrait-multimethod models: examining consequences of a mismatch between measurement design and model Open
Models of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) are frequently applied to examine the convergent validity of scores obtained from multiple raters or methods in so-called multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) investigations. Many applications of CFA-M…
