“…Data were collected from January to May 2018. Two validated questionnaires were used, according to the nomothetic and quantitative approach (Sartori, ): the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES; Schaufeli, Bakker, & Salanova, ) and the Work Ability Index (WAI; Tuomi, Ilmarinen, Jahkola, Katajarinne, & Tulkki, ). Job satisfaction was assessed by a single item (‘I'm satisfied with my job’) using a Likert rating scale from 1 (minimum) to 7 (maximum; Dolbier, Webster, McCalister, Mallon, & Steinhardt, ).…”

Aims:The study aims are (a) to test a model developed to estimate the impact of work engagement on work ability as it is perceived by nurses; (b) to test the parameters between work ability and job satisfaction and between job satisfaction and turnover intention.Design: Cross-sectional. Methods:This study involved 1,024 nurses from January -May 2018. The response rate was 70.7%. The Work Ability Index and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were used. Path analysis was performed, both in the whole sample and in age categories (<45yy-≥45yy). Model's parameters and fit indexes were estimated.Results: The comprehensive model was validated through the multi-group approach.Fit indexes were adequate in the general model and in the multi-group testing.Parameters confirmed the association between work engagement and work ability and between work ability and job satisfaction and turnover intention. Parameters highlighted different age-dependent patterns. Conclusion:This study states the contribution of work engagement to enhance work ability in nursing profession. Findings contribute in understanding motivational dynamics in nurses and they suggest the use of tailored strategies for different age categories. Further research could address the model to deepen generational patterns in work engagement, work ability, and organizational outcomes. Impact:The study highlights how to address nursing management to improve nurses' motivation and work ability and to improve organizational outcomes. Main findings point out different age-dependent patterns to tailor managerial strategies.Healthcare organizations have new elements to design human resources management and to improve job satisfaction and nurses' retention.

“…As such, items were developed to measure both positive play beliefs and behaviors. This procedure enabled us to generate questionnaire items with both high content and face validity based on input from experts and players (see Sartori, 2010 ). In Study 2, the aim was to examine the psychometric properties of the PPS items and to pursue scale formation via principal components analysis (PCA).…”

Measuring Responsible Gambling amongst Players: Development of the Positive Play Scale

et al. 2017

The modern gambling industry has, by-in-large, assumed a duty of care to minimize the risks associated with gambling, which has manifested in responsible gambling (RG) programming (e.g., educating players about the odds of success). The current study fills a void in gambling operators, regulators, and researchers ability to measure RG beliefs and behavior in their player-base, with the development and validation of the Positive Play Scale (PPS). In Study 1, we reviewed the literature and consulted 30 players as well as 10 RG experts to help generate a definition of RG beliefs and behavior that helped guide item generation. In Study 2, regular players (N = 1,551) of a Canadian provincial gambling operator completed a positive play survey. Four components from a principal components analysis (PCA) were extracted: Honesty and Control, Pre-commitment, Personal Responsibility, and Gambling Literacy. The PPS subscales were either not associated with gambling frequency or had small-to-moderate negative relationships with frequency of play for games most often associated with disordered gambling (e.g., electronic games). In Study 3 (N = 413), the factor structure of the PPS was confirmed and refined in a new sample of players. Moreover, a 1-month follow-up session demonstrated that the PPS has high test-retest reliability. The PPS is the first validated scale that reliably assesses the extent to which a consumer base has positive beliefs about gambling and gambles in a positive manner. The PPS can be used by the gambling industry to objectively assess the efficacy of their RG strategy, pinpoint specific areas for future focus, as well as examine the utility of new RG initiatives that aim to promote healthy patterns of gambling consumption. Furthermore, by examining the PPS scores for different player segments (e.g., sex, age, games played) it becomes possible to tailor RG strategy to the needs of specific players. In this way, RG strategy can be optimized by focusing resources where they will be most effective.

“…Although the idea that performance-based tests are akin to a “psychological X-ray” that will uncover hidden truths despite the patient's best efforts to conceal them has not held up to empirical scrutiny (Meyer et al, 2011; Weiner, 2004), it is nonetheless true that performance-based test responses are more spontaneous—less tightly controlled—than are responses to self-report tests. Research confirms that it is more difficult for respondents to dissimulate on performance-based tests than self-report tests (Ganellen, 2008; Hartmann & Hartmann, 2014; Sartori, 2010). 2 …”

Recent controversies have illuminated the strengths and limitations of different frameworks for conceptualizing personality pathology (e.g., trait perspectives, categorical models), and stimulated debate regarding how best to diagnose personality disorders (PDs) in DSM-5, and in other diagnostic systems (i.e., the International Classification of Diseases, the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual). In this article I argue that regardless of how PDs are conceptualized and which diagnostic system is employed, multi-method assessment must play a central role in PD diagnosis. By complementing self-reports with evidence from other domains (e.g., performance-based tests), a broader range of psychological processes are engaged in the patient, and the impact of self-perception and self-presentation biases may be better understood. By providing the assessor with evidence drawn from multiple modalities, some of which provide converging patterns and some of which yield divergent results, the assessor is compelled to engage this evidence more deeply. The mindful processing that ensues can help minimize the deleterious impact of naturally occurring information processing bias and distortion on the part of the clinician (e.g., heuristics, attribution errors), bringing greater clarity to the synthesis and integration of assessment data.
