“…The authors acknowledged the limitations of relying on coefficient alpha as the sole estimate of internal consistency, per Cho and Kim (2015) discussion of the misconceptions of alpha as an estimate of reliability. In a second exemplar citing Cho and Kim (2015), Garneau et al (2020) (a) provide support that their items measure a single factor, (b) demonstrate that the test items are essentially tau-equivalent in statistical similarity, and (c) report that the error scores of the items are uncorrelated prior to estimating alpha. The authors also refer to alpha as the lower-bound estimate of reliability when reporting.…”

This study explores how researchers in the organizational sciences use and/or cite methodological ‘best practice’ (BP) articles. Namely, are scholars adhering fully to the prescribed practices they cite, or are they cherry picking from recommended practices without disclosing? Or worse yet, are scholars inaccurately following the methodological best practices they cite? To answer these questions, we selected three seminal and highly cited best practice articles published in Organizational Research Methods (ORM) within the past ten years. These articles offer clear and specific methodological recommendations for researchers as they make decisions regarding the design, measurement, and interpretation of empirical studies. We then gathered all articles that have cited these best practice pieces. Using comprehensive coding forms, we evaluated how authors are using and citing best practice articles (e.g., if they are appropriately following the recommended practices). Our results revealed substantial variation in how authors cited best practice articles, with 17.4% appropriately citing, 47.7% citing with minor inaccuracies, and 34.5% inappropriately citing BP articles. These findings shed light on the use (and misuse) of methodological recommendations, offering insight into how we can better improve our digestion and implementation of best practices as we design and test research and theory. Key implications and recommendations for editors, reviewers, and authors are discussed.

“…One such self-report method, the video-based Dominic Interactive (DI), has been validated and successfully employed in surveys of primary school children 6 to 12 years of age in French communities, English communities, and indigenous communities in Canada (17)(18)(19), and in the United States and Brazil (20), France (21), Spain (22), the Netherlands (23), and in European multi-country projects (24). The DI video assesses children's mental health symptoms by eliciting their responses to depictions of cartoon-like situations on a computer, tablet, or cell phone.…”

Chinese version of Dominic Interactive – A self-report video game for assessing mental health in young children

ObjectivesAssess the validity of the Chinese version of the Dominic Interactive (DI), a 91-item, video-based diagnostic screening instrument for children that assesses four internalized disorders (phobias, separation anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorder) and three externalized disorders (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder).Methods(1) Compare DI-generated “probable” or “possible” diagnoses to diagnoses based on the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) instrument in 113 psychiatric outpatients and 20 community controls. (2) Administer DI to 1,479 children from elementary schools in Tianjin.ResultsIn the validation sample, DI with DAWBA concordance was much greater for internalized disorders (mean Kappa = 0.56) than for externalized disorders (mean kappa = 0.11). The positive predictive value of DI diagnoses ranged from 0.96 (generalized anxiety disorder) to 25% (oppositional defiant disorder) and negative from 0.81 to 0.96. Using “probable” cuts provides better results. In the survey, prevalence of probable DI disorders ranged from 1.0% (conduct disorder) to 13.1% (phobias). Internal consistency of all DI items was excellent (Cronbach alpha = 0.93) and that of the seven subscales ranged from 0.64 (phobias) to 0.87 (major depressive disorder). In multilevel SEM analyses, SRMR (Standardized root mean square residual) or each of the seven diagnoses was below 0.08 and each coefficient of determination was below 0.60.ConclusionThe Chinese DI is a convenient method of screening common mental disorders in Chinese children mainly for internalized disorders, which are the most prevalent diagnoses in that population. However its high negative predictive values for externalized could be used for screening.
