Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)01:27

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

161
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Stereotype Content Model

14.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

152
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Area of Science:

  • Child welfare research
  • Psychometrics
  • Social work

Background:

  • Child maltreatment is assessed using standardized instruments to capture dimensions like type, severity, and frequency.
  • The Modified Maltreatment Classification System (MMCS) is commonly used, but its psychometric properties require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Extended Modified Maltreatment Classification System (EMMCS).
  • To provide inter-rater reliability and convergent validity data for the EMMCS.

Main Methods:

  • A sample of 240 substantiated Child Protective Services (CPS) cases in Québec, Canada, was analyzed.
  • Two coders applied the EMMCS to case narratives, while one coder used the FEIQ-SF.
  • Inter-rater reliability (kappas, ICCs) and convergent validity (correlations with FEIQ-SF variables) were assessed.

Main Results:

  • The EMMCS achieved excellent inter-rater agreement for 97% of variables.
  • EMMCS maltreatment type variables demonstrated good convergent validity with FEIQ-SF variables and child functioning indicators.

Conclusions:

  • The EMMCS exhibits excellent inter-rater reliability and good convergent validity.
  • The EMMCS shows potential as a standardized reference instrument for maltreatment research.
