“…The MAST has been found to have good reliability and concurrent validity (Zung and Charalampous, 1975;Zung, 1978). Additionally the MAST has internal consistency as evidenced by Cronbach's alphas ranging from 0.83-0.93 (Gibbs, 1983).…”

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) involves deliberate acts (such as cutting) that directly damage the body but occur without suicidal intent. However, other non-suicidal behaviors that involve people mistreating or abusing themselves but that do not deliberately and directly damage bodily tissue may have much in common with NSSI. Such 'indirect' methods of self-injury might include involvement in abusive relationships, substance abuse, risky or reckless behavior, or eating disordered behavior. Using a community sample (N=156) we compared individuals engaging in NSSI (n=50), indirect (non-suicidal) self-injurers (n=38), and healthy controls (n=68) on a range of clinical and personality characteristics. As predicted, non-suicidal selfinjurers and indirect self-injurers showed more pathology than healthy controls on all measures.Comparisons of the NSSI and the Indirect self-injury groups revealed no significant differences on measures of dissociation, aggression, impulsivity, self-esteem, negative temperament, depressive symptoms, and borderline personality disorder. However, compared to people who engaged only in indirect forms of self-injury, those who engaged in NSSI were more self-critical, had higher scores on a measure of suicide proneness, and had a history of more suicide attempts.The findings suggest that NSSI and indirect self-injury are best viewed as separate and distinct clinical phenomena.Key Words = DSM-5, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), deliberate self-harm, suicide, borderline personality disorder, self-criticism.NSSI and Indirect Self--Injury 3 3

“…Finally, this result could also be due to the measurement scales used to capture alcohol use and drug use being too stringent, but reliability and validity results of the MAST and DAST have consistently been found to be high in previous research (Gibbs, 1983;Staly & El-Guebaly, 1990;Teitelbaum & Mullen, 2000;Yudko et al, 2007). Therefore, as it is unclear why this has occurred, further research should investigate this result and the speculations behind it.…”

“…The MAST was used to measure the level of problem drinking (see item C7, Appendix B). This scale has good reliability (Gibbs, 1983) and validity (Teitelbaum & Mullen, 2000). Participants responded "yes" or "no" to each item in the MAST.…”

“…The severity of alcohol dependence was determined with the MAST, developed as a 'rapid and effective screening for lifetime alcohol-related problems and alcoholism' for a variety of populations (32). Its focus on drinking behavior and adverse consequences make it a widely used measure for examining significant problems associated with alcohol use in medical, legal, and interpersonal areas of life.…”

Severity of PTSD symptoms and its relationship with severity of alcohol-related problems in a sample of inpatients with alcohol use disorderObjective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms measured with the PTSD Checklist Civilian (PCL-C) version on the severity of alcohol-related problems while controlling for the effects of anxiety and depression in a sample of inpatients with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Results: Although severity of the state of anxiety predicted the severity of alcohol-related problems in the first and depression in the second step of a linear regression model, when severity of PTSD symptoms was included in the analysis, it was the only independent variable that predicted the severity of alcohol-related problems while the state of anxiety and depression were no longer predictors.Conclusion: These findings suggest that the severity of PTSD symptoms is related to the severity of alcohol-related problems, independent from severity of state anxiety and depression among inpatients with AUD.
