“…A measure may demonstrate CCMB if the regression models that relate the predictor (here: cognitive functioning) to a predicted outcome (e.g., years of education) differ between ethnic groups [39,40]. Bias is likely if (a) ethnic groups differ in cognitive functioning (regression intercepts) and (b) ethnic groups differ in the associations between cognitive functioning and completed years of education.…”

Purpose Incidence rates of psychotic disorders are higher in immigrant groups compared to native populations. This increased risk may partly be explained by misdiagnosis. Neurocognitive deficits are a core feature of psychotic disorders, but little is known about the relationship between migration and cognition in psychotic disorders. We examined whether immigrant patients have cognitive deficits similar to non-immigrant patients, in order to investigate the plausibility of misdiagnosis as explanation for increased incidence rates. Methods Patients who made first contact for non-affective psychotic disorder were assessed in the cognitive domains sustained attention, immediate recall and delayed recall. Immigrant patients were compared to Dutch patients on cognitive performance. Results 407 Patients diagnosed with a non-affective psychotic disorder completed cognitive assessment (157 Dutch, 250 immigrants). Both Dutch and immigrant patients showed large cognitive deficits. Between-subgroup comparisons revealed large cognitive deficits for immigrants compared to Dutch, especially for immigrants from Morocco, Turkey and other non-Western countries. Conclusions These results indicate that immigrant status is associated with poorer cognitive functioning in early psychosis. The findings argue against diagnostic bias as an explanation for the increased incidence of psychotic disorders in immigrants.

“…De esta manera, la comparación de los resultados de un test en diferentes grupos solo es admisible si se justifica empíricamente su equivalencia formal y sustantiva (Elosua, 2005). En cambio, si no se llega a establecer la invarianza factorial, cualquier interpretación en torno a las diferencias observadas puede ser errada, ya que las diferencias pueden originarse en fuentes desconocidas y no por las diferencias "verdaderas" en el constructo evaluado (Pedraza & Mungas, 2008). Es decir, para poder comparar dos grupos se necesita que el test pueda medir constructos idénticos con la misma estructura a través de diferentes grupos (Van der Schoot, Lugtig, & Hox, 2012).…”

r e S u m e n El objetivo de este trabajo fue el estudio de la invarianza factorial del Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnarie (CERQ), entre universitarios limeños (Perú) y cordobeses (Argentina), a fin de realizar una comparación intercultural de las estrategias cognitivas de regulación emocional. Se contó con la participación de 345 estudiantes universitarios limeños (hombres=26.4%; mujeres=73.6%), y 358 estudiantes universitarios de Córdoba (hombres=49.7%; mujeres=49.7%). Se realizó la evaluación progresiva de la invarianza factorial (configural, métrica, fuerte y estricta). Los resultados indican con relación a la invarianza configural que se verifica la estructura de nueve factores oblicuos, aunque un análisis pormenorizado y más restrictivo permite identificar un funcionamiento no-invariante en algunos reactivos e interceptos. Se concluye que las evidencias recabadas no son suficientes para elaborar un modelo explicativo de las diferencias observadas, ante lo cual podría indagarse en un futuro estudio si el uso de estas estrategias se relaciona con especificidades en las ideologías y valores de cada cultura. Palabras clave regulación emocional; estudiantes universitarios; estudio intercultural; invarianza factorial A b S t r A c tThe aim of this paper was to study the factorial invariance of Cognitive Emotional Regulation questionnarie (CERQ) among college students from Lima (Peru) and Cordoba (Argentina), to perform a cross-cultural comparison of cognitive emotion regulation strategies. 345 college students from Lima (men = 26.4%; women = 73.6%) and 358 college students from Córdoba (men = 49.7%; women = 49.7%) were examined. Progressive assessment of the factorial invariance (configural, metric, strong and strict) was performed. The results indicate regarding to configural invariance, the structure invariance of nine oblique factors was verified, and although a detailed analysis identifies a non-invariant functioning in some reactive and intercepts. We conclude that the collected evidence is not enough to develop a model to explain the observed differences, whereupon could ask about it in a future study whether the use of these strategies are relate to specific ideologies and values of each culture.

“…Third, racial and cultural biases need to be considered in evaluating the results of neuropsychological testing. While there are only a few studies that have examined racial differences in neuropsychological testing in the context of TBI (Kennepohl, Shore, Nabors, & Hanks, 2004), such biases have been broadly documented when testing different racial or ethnic groups (Baird, Ford, & Podell, 2007;Pedraza & Mungas, 2008;Wilkie et al, 2003). Fourth, ligation status of the patient needs to be considered, as it can often distort the clinical presentation, particularly in mild TBI (Larrabee, 1997(Larrabee, , 2000.…”

Much has been gained in our understanding of the psychopathology, assessment, and treatment of TBI. Still lacking is the breadth and depth that an integrative and multi-disciplinary approach to TBI portends. While there is a greater awareness of a need for such a systems-based approach as evidenced by the number of professional organizations and government agencies recently advocating a need for standardization in the collection data in TBI, the application of multi-dimensional approach, and the development novel strategies to deliver prevention, assessment and treatment to large, diverse populations, we are still in the early stages in making this important shift. In the nearer term, there are clinical assessment and interventional programs that can be developed and empirically validated to bring us closer to this integrative, multi-disciplinary ideal. The following review calls for a universal diagnostic classification system for TBI, integration of pathophysiology and pharmacological and rehabilitative therapies, development of treatments addressing disorders comorbid with TBI, and the delivery of assessment and treatment services to large underserved populations.
