Area of Science:

Psychometric evaluation
Clinical psychology

To present new validity studies on the ESTA III.
To assess the concurrent and construct validity of the ESTA III.

Summary:

New validity studies cast doubt on the concurrent validity of the ESTA III when compared to the adjective check list/EWL-K.
Analysis of new and reanalyzed data does not support the construct validity of the ESTA III.
Findings challenge the reliability of ESTA III for evaluating therapy and tracking affective psychoses.
