Relationship Formation

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interpersonal Psychotherapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) is a structured, time-limited therapeutic approach initially developed to treat depression. It integrates key concepts from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, making it a uniquely eclectic framework. The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

Clinical Medicine
Public Health
Psychometrics

Background:

Intimate partner violence (IPV) screening is debated, with differing recommendations from major organizations and the USPSTF.
Effective IPV screening requires tools with robust psychometric properties.
This review assesses the quality and psychometric data of IPV screening tools used in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review and summarize IPV screening tools used in healthcare settings.
To discuss existing psychometric data for these tools.
To assess the quality of studies evaluating IPV screening tools.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search of three databases was conducted through December 2007.
Included studies focused on psychometric testing of IPV screening tools in healthcare.
Study quality was evaluated using USPSTF criteria for diagnostic studies.

Main Results:

33 of 210 studies met inclusion criteria.
Common tools include HITS, WAST, PVS, and AAS, with varying reported sensitivities and specificities.
Reliability and validity were assessed, with overall study quality rated as fair to good.

Conclusions:

No single IPV screening tool demonstrates consistently well-established psychometric properties.
Even widely used tools lack extensive validation.
Significant variation in performance metrics necessitates further research and validation.
