The reliability and validity of the SAS-SMI
1Department of Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of South Carolina School of Medicine, Columbia 29203, USA.
Abstract:
The reliability and validity of the SAS-SMI (Social Adjustment Scale for the Severely Mentally Ill) were assessed in three samples of 670 persons with severe mental illness from a public mental health system. The SAS-SMI retained comparable factor structures (Social, Family, Work, Residential Stability, Romantic Interest, and Personal Well-being) to its predecessor, the SAS-II, and yielded high item-to-scale internal consistency correlations, good interrater reliability, and comparable convergent and divergent validity. The SAS-SMI's performance across these dimensions makes it a potentially valuable tool in mental health services research investigations. Limitations and suggestions for further development are discussed.

Estimating Population Standard Deviation
Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
