Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

396
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

833
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Psychological Assessment
  • Cognitive Performance Validity

Background:

  • Performance validity testing is crucial for accurate neuropsychological assessment.
  • Embedded validity measures offer a method to assess performance validity within standard cognitive tests.
  • Optimizing the selection and combination of these measures is essential for efficiency and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the accuracy of individual embedded validity measures.
  • To identify the most efficient combination of embedded measures for predicting performance validity.
  • To compare the accuracy of existing cutoffs with newly derived optimal combinations.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 212 postdeployment veterans was assessed.
  • Thirty embedded measures from various cognitive tests were analyzed as predictors of Green's Word Memory Test (WMT).
  • Logistic regression and area-under-the-curve (AUC) analyses were used to select and combine the most accurate measures.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-one percent of the sample failed the WMT.
  • The California Verbal Learning Test-Second Edition (CVLT-II) showed the highest individual accuracy (AUC = .80).
  • A combination of three measures (Rey Complex Figure Test, Conners' Continuous Performance Test-Second Edition, and CVLT-II) achieved the highest accuracy (AUC = .87) in predicting WMT performance.

Conclusions:

  • Individual embedded validity measures vary in their accuracy for detecting performance invalidity.
  • A parsimonious combination of three specific embedded measures (RCFT, CPT-II, CVLT-II) provides a highly accurate and efficient method for assessing performance validity.
  • This optimized three-measure model offers improved predictive accuracy compared to individual measures or previously established cutoffs.
