“…Giromini, Viglione, and McCullaugh (2015) previously identified the 28 variables for which the standard CS norms for adults (Exner, 2003) differ from the CIRV for adults (Meyer et al, 2007) by at least a Cohen's d value of .50 (Cohen, 1988). For the current study, we applied the same analysis to identify the variables for which the two sets of norms for children and adolescents (i.e., CS vs. CIRV) differ by at least a medium Cohen's d value of .50 (Cohen, 1988).…”

“…whether the divergent variables that emerged from the analysis of child/adolescent normative samples were the same as those identified by Giromini, Viglione, and McCullaugh (2015) for the adult population, we ran three types of analyses. First, we produced a 2 by 2 contingency table and examined the number of divergent versus non-divergent variables in the child/adolescent versus adult samples.…”

“…The choice to focus on effect sizes greater than d = .50 is consistent with both Cohen's (1988) statistical recommendations, as well as with MMPI literature indicating that differences of 5 T points (i.e., d = .50) are to be considered as notable differences (e.g., Greene, 2000). Next, we evaluated whether these divergent variables for children and adolescents are the same as those identified as "divergent" by Giromini, Viglione, and McCullaugh (2015) for the adult population. To do so, we first used the Phi statistic to evaluate the strength of the association between type of variable (divergent vs. non-divergent) and age …”

Secondly, we evaluated whether these divergent variables for children and adolescents are the same as those identified as "divergent" by Giromini, Viglione, and McCullaugh (2015), for the adult population.

“…In line with all these research findings, Meyer, Viglione, Mihura, Erard and Erdberg (2011) had previously argued that using international, rather than local norms would improve the applicability of the test. As such, the To investigate which normative reference set might be more useful in clinical practice, Giromini, Viglione, and McCullaugh (2015) recently introduced a novel statistical approach.…”

Currently, there is some debate about whether to use Comprehensive System norms (CS, Exner, 2003) Accordingly, the current research evaluates the effects of using the CS vs. CIRV norms with children, adolescents, and adults. First, we identified 43 variables for which the CS and the CIRV for children and adolescents differ from each other by at least a Cohen's d value of .5.Next, we evaluated whether these divergent variables are the same as those previously identified as divergent for the adult population. Results showed that for both children and adolescents, as well as for adults, relying on CS norms versus CIRV would result in interpretations that are more pathological in terms of: (a) perception and thinking, (b) psychological resources and cognitive and emotional abilities, and (c) representations of human relationships. A discussion on the clinical effects of utilizing one versus the other set of norms follows.

Assessing the Personality Profile with ADHD Characteristics Using the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS)

Assessment of ADHD typically includes rating scales completed by parents, teachers, and/or patients themselves. However, rating scales may be subject to rater bias effects, and raters may not recognize the patient's implicit qualities and underlying personality processes. In contrast, the Rorschach test permits standardized, in vivo observation and coding of behaviors as outcomes of implicit personality processes, and, thus, it may assist clinicians in the formulation of contextualized treatment decisions. By using the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS), a performance-based personality test characterized by empirical foundation and psychometric efficiency, we conducted an observational study to investigate in depth personality and its implicit qualities in children with ADHD who were not on medication. After reviewing thoroughly the previous studies on ADHD and the Rorschach and discussing their contradictory findings, we compared data of our sample (N = 31) with the R-PAS normative children's group. Several Rorschach variables differed from R-PAS norms and indicated the presence of unconventional perceptions characterized by non-cognitively mediated interactions and difficulties mentalizing human behavior. Overall, it appears that hyperactivity and impulsivity are associated with unconventional and sometimes mistaken processing of information especially relevant to people and relationships. Although we compared the Rorschach profiles to norms rather than a matched control group, our findings could provide useful information for understanding the personality functioning beyond manifest symptoms or symptom reports of children with ADHD.

Abstract:Emotion Regulation (ER) is an important aspect of every-day behavior relevant to both clinical and diagnostic practice. To date several studies have investigated the psychometric properties of Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004) scores, however, the extent to which the DERS is affected by the gender and/or age of the respondents has so far been only poorly investigated. Furthermore, no studies have yet offered suggestions or guidelines on how to interpret different DERS scores. To fill this gap, the current study aimed at: (a) investigating with two relatively large Italian samples the influence of gender and age on DERS scores; (b) introducing a new approach to develop age and gender adjusted normative reference values for the DERS; (c) providing suggestions on how to interpret the resultant, age and gender adjusted, T-transformed, DERS scores. The results of our analyses show that within our first Italian sample (n = 808), DERS scores tended to decrease with age, whereas gender had a small impact on them. Moreover, and more importantly, our age and gender adjusted, T-transformed, DERS scores calculated based on this first sample almost perfectly matched the scores produced by a second, independent, nonclinical Italian sample (n = 404). Our findings thus support the effectiveness of our method to generate normative reference values for the DERS. Powered by Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation
