Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The Frequency of Suicidal Ideation Inventory (FSII) demonstrates high overall reliability (alpha = .91), making it suitable for research and clinical use. Its reliability is influenced by administration type, population, and language.
Area Of Science
- Psychological Assessment
- Psychometrics
- Mental Health Research
Background
- Suicidal ideation is a critical area of mental health research.
- The Frequency of Suicidal Ideation Inventory (FSII) is a recent tool for assessing suicidal ideation.
- Understanding the reliability of assessment tools is crucial for valid research and clinical application.
Purpose Of The Study
- To estimate the overall reliability of the Frequency of Suicidal Ideation Inventory (FSII).
- To identify potential moderating variables affecting the FSII's reliability.
Main Methods
- A reliability generalization meta-analysis was conducted.
- A systematic literature search covered studies from 2016 to March 2024 across five databases.
- Data from 32 studies (39 applications) reporting Cronbach's alpha were analyzed using a random effects model.
Main Results
- The overall Cronbach's alpha for the FSII was .91 (95% CI = .90, .92), indicating high reliability.
- The type of administration, study population, and language of the FSII were found to moderate its reliability.
- The FSII's reliability is considered high and appropriate for diverse settings.
Conclusions
- The FSII is a reliable instrument for measuring suicidal ideation.
- Factors such as administration method, population characteristics, and language can influence the FSII's psychometric properties.
- The FSII is validated for use in both research and clinical practice.

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.
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.
Unfortunately, being consistent in measurement does not necessarily mean that you have measured something correctly. To illustrate this concept, consider a kitchen...
Psychologists measure intelligence by using standardized tests that produce a score known as the intelligence quotient or IQ. To understand IQ tests, it's important to recognize the key principles behind their construction: validity, reliability, and standardization.
Validity refers to how well a test measures what it claims to measure. An intelligence test should accurately assess intelligence rather than another characteristic, like anxiety. Criterion validity is one way to evaluate this;...
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Surveys allow researchers to gather data from larger samples than may be afforded by...
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...
The Wilcoxon rank-sum test, also known as the Mann-Whitney U test, is a nonparametric test used to determine if there is a significant difference between the distributions of two independent samples. This test is designed specifically for two independent populations and has the following key requirements:
The samples must be randomly drawn.
The data should be ordinal or capable of being converted to an ordinal scale, allowing the values to be ordered and ranked.
The null hypothesis is that...
