“…Thus, all participants completed the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI; Costa and McCrae 1992), a 60-item self-report personality questionnaire that assesses five domains of personality: neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. This factor structure has been replicated in adolescent samples (Fruyt et al 2000). Go/no-go task-Participants performed a go/no-go task during fMRI scanning (Anderson et al 2005;Schweinsburg et al 2004b).…”

“…This said, several studies have shown that self-reports are reliable when assessing personality (e.g., De Fruyt, Mervielde, Hoekstra, & Rolland, 2000), as well as substance use or other behavioral problems in adolescence (Clark & Winters, 2002;Crowley, Mikulich, Ehlers, Whitmore, & MacDonald, 2001), and hence are useful for clinical practice and research. This, together with guaranteed confidentiality to participants, should contribute to the reliability and validity of these data.…”

Most research linking early pubertal development to substance use has focused on the effects of pubertal timing (age at which a certain stage of pubertal development is reached or pubertal status at a particular age-related to the maturation disparity hypothesis), but little research has focused on pubertal tempo (rate of growth through pubertal stages-related to the maturation compression hypothesis). However, both timing and tempo have not only been identified as important components of pubertal development, with different predictors, but have also been shown to be independently associated with other adolescent psychopathologies. Using latent growth-curve modeling, this study examined how pubertal status at age 12 and pubertal tempo (between 11 and 13 years) related to substance use from 15 to 16 years in boys from low socioeconomic backgrounds (N = 871). Results showed that both pubertal status at age 12 and tempo were significant predictors of increased levels of substance use and problems in mid to late adolescence. In an attempt to identify mechanisms that may explain the association between pubertal development and substance use it was found that sensation seeking partially mediated the association between pubertal status at age 12 and substance use behaviors. Impulse control was found to moderate the association sensation seeking had with marijuana use frequency, with high Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Natalie Castellanos-Ryan, Centre de recherche du CHU Ste-Justine, Université de Montréal, 3175 Chemin de la Côte Sainte-Catherine, Montréal, H3T 1C5, Canada. natalie.castellanos.ryan@umontreal.ca.

These findings highlight the importance of considering multiple sources of individual variability in the pubertal development of boys and provide support for both the maturational disparity and compression hypotheses. Keywordsadolescence; puberty; substance use; impulsivity; sensation seekingAdolescence is an important developmental period for the onset of substance use and misuse, with some considering exploratory drug use as normative during this period (e.g., Shedler & Block, 1990). Some Canadian statistics show that 42% of adolescents attending Grades 9 through 11 (or 3-5 of high school) have used cannabis in the last year, and by Grade 11, 86% of them were drinking alcohol (Dubé et al., 2009). Similarly, epidemiologic studies in the United States show that up to 50% of high school students report binge drinking, and around 25% report having tried an illicit substance (Office of National Statistics, 2008; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2007). Youth substance use is also prevalent in Europe, with almost half of all young people in the United Kingdom trying an illegal drug by the age of 16 years and around one third of adolescents ...

“…The correlation with the Big Five was examined because three of the five dimensions (i.e., conscientiousness, emotional stability and agreeableness) have been shown to moderately and positively correlate with SJT scores (McDaniel et al 2007) and integrity test scores (Marcus et al 2007). Moreover, the validity and reliability of the scores on the Big Five measure used in this study [i.e., NEO-PI-R (Costa and MacCrae 1992)] has repeatedly been demonstrated (Costa and McCrae 2008), including in samples of adolescents (De Fruyt et al 2000). It is therefore expected that the integrity-based SJT will be correlated to these three Big Five dimensions and that the resulting correlation coefficients will provide a good measure of comparison between the scoring methods.…”

Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) are increasingly used for medical school selection. Scoring an SJT is more complicated than scoring a knowledge test, because there are no objectively correct answers. The scoring method of an SJT may influence the construct and concurrent validity and the adverse impact with respect to non-traditional students. Previous research has compared only a small number of scoring methods and has not studied the effect of scoring method on internal consistency reliability. This study compared 28 different scoring methods for a rating SJT on internal consistency reliability, adverse impact and correlation with personality. The scoring methods varied on four aspects: the way of controlling for systematic error, and the type of reference group, distance and central tendency statistic. All scoring methods were applied to a previously validated integrity-based SJT, administered to 931 medical school applicants. Internal consistency reliability varied between .33 and .73, which is likely explained by the dependence of coefficient alpha on the total score variance. All scoring methods led to significantly higher scores for the ethnic majority than for the non-Western minorities, with effect sizes ranging from 0.48 to 0.66. Eighteen scoring methods showed a significant small positive correlation with agreeableness. Four scoring methods showed a significant small positive correlation with conscientiousness. The way of controlling for systematic error was the most influential scoring method aspect. These results suggest that the increased use of SJTs for selection into medical school must be accompanied by a thorough examination of the scoring method to be used.
