Die faktorielle Struktur des Partnerschaftsfragebogens

Zeitschrift für Klinische Psychologie und Psychotherapie (2012)

Sören Kliem Christoph Kröger Yve Stöbel‐Richter Kurt Hahlweg Elmar Brähler

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Der Partnerschaftsfragebogen (PFB) wird im deutschen Sprachraum zur Erfassung der Partnerschafts- und Ehequalität bevorzugt eingesetzt. Fragestellung: Neben der Überprüfung der Eindimensionalität der PFB-Subskalen (Streitverhalten, Zärtlichkeit, Gemeinsamkeit/Kommunikation) wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit überprüft, ob das Zusammenfassen der PFB-Subskalen zu einem Generalfaktor „Partnerschaftsqualität” angemessen ist. Methoden: Es wurden Daten einer Bevölkerungsstichprobe für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland genutzt (N = 1.289). Aufgrund der Abweichung von einer multivariaten Normalverteilung wurden konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen mittels Maximum-Likelihood-Methode mit robusten Standardfehlern und einem mittelwertsadjustierten Chi 2 -Wert (Satorra-Bentler-scaled-χ 2 ) durchgeführt. Ergebnisse: Es ergaben sich sowohl für die Eindimensionalität der PFB-Subskalen als auch für die Second-Order-Faktorenanalyse sehr gute Modellanapassungen. Schlussfolgerungen: Die Subsumierung der PFB-Items zu Skalenwerten sowie der PFB-Subskalen zu einem Gesamtwert kann als angemessen eingestuft werden.

Journal of Occupational Health Psychology (2014)

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of work-related cognitive-behavioral treatment (W-CBT) with that of cognitive-behavioral treatment as usual (CBT-AU) for employees on sick leave as a result of a major depressive disorder (MDD). We collected data for 26 matched outpatients at pre- and posttreatment, as well as at 1-year follow-up. Outcome measures were the days of incapacity to work (DIW) as well as self-report measures (Beck Depression Inventory [BDI], Symptom Checklist 90-R [GSI], Life Satisfaction Questionnaire [FLZ]). We analyzed data with hierarchical linear modeling in a 2-level model. Therapy effects were defined in 3 ways: effect size (ES), response (based on the reliable change index), and remission compared with the general population's symptom level. The DIW were reduced significantly after both types of treatment, but employees showed even fewer DIW after W-CBT. At follow-up, significantly more employees were working as a result of W-CBT than with CBT-AU. Significant improvements on scores of self-rating measures corresponded with moderate-to-large effect sizes for both treatment types. Approximately 2 thirds of the treated employees were categorized as unimpaired on BDI scores at posttreatment and at follow-up. At least 1 half of the employees were classified as unimpaired on GSI scores at both assessment points. In future research, a randomized controlled trial should be conducted using a larger sample size to investigate the impact of moderators (e.g., employees at different branches of the company). Findings provided support for using common CBT techniques to enhance return to work without losing expected improvements at the symptom level.

Factor structure and psychometric properties of the english version of the trier inventory for chronic stress (TICS-E)

BMC Medical Research Methodology (2018)

Katja Petrowski Sören Kliem Michael Sadler Alicia E. Meuret Thomas Ritz

Demands placed on individuals in occupational and social settings, as well as imbalances in personal traits and resources, can lead to chronic stress. The Trier Inventory for Chronic Stress (TICS) measures chronic stress while incorporating domain-specific aspects, and has been found to be a highly reliable and valid research tool. The aims of the present study were to confirm the German version TICS factorial structure in an English translation of the instrument (TICS-E) and to report its psychometric properties. A random route sample of healthy participants (N = 483) aged 18–30 years completed the TICS-E. The robust maximum likelihood estimation with a mean-adjusted chi-square test statistic was applied due to the sample's significant deviation from the multivariate normal distribution. Goodness of fit, absolute model fit, and relative model fit were assessed by means of the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA), the Comparative Fit Index (CFI) and the Tucker Lewis Index (TLI). Reliability estimates (Cronbach's α and adjusted split-half reliability) ranged from .84 to .92. Item-scale correlations ranged from .50 to .85. Measures of fit showed values of .052 for RMSEA (Cl = 0.50–.054) and .067 for SRMR for absolute model fit, and values of .846 (TLI) and .855 (CFI) for relative model-fit. Factor loadings ranged from .55 to .91. The psychometric properties and factor structure of the TICS-E are comparable to the German version of the TICS. The instrument therefore meets quality standards for an adequate measurement of chronic stress.

Psychometric Properties of Two Brief Versions of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist: HSCL-5 and HSCL-10

Assessment (2019)

Bjarne Schmalbach Markus Zenger Ana N. Tibubos Sören Kliem Katja Petrowski

The Hopkins Symptom Checklist–25 (HSCL-25) is a widely applied measure of depression and anxiety. The present study examines two of its short forms—the HSCL-5 and HSCL-10, which have been proposed by previous research—in a representative sample of the German general population. To this end, we conducted exploratory and confirmatory analysis on two subsamples ( n = 1,246 and n = 1,216). Our results suggest that, compared with the HSCL-25, both short forms represent economical ways of assessing depression and anxiety. Model fit was good and correlations with established measures demonstrate convergent validity. Both HSCL short forms are strongly invariant across sex, and we found evidence for partial strong invariance across age groups. Further analyses showed that differences in HSCL can be partially explained by sociodemographic variables. Finally, we report normative values for usage by researchers and clinicians. We recommend the HSCL-5 and HSCL-10 for clinical and research-oriented application.

Fachbeitrag: Kinder- und Jugenddelinquenz in Deutschland: Daten und Perspektiven

Vierteljahresschrift für Heilpädagogik und ihre Nachbargebiete (2021)

Dirk Baier Yvonne Krieg Sören Kliem

Im Beitrag werden im ersten Teil Befunde zur Verbreitung und Entwicklung von Kinder- und Jugendkriminalitat prasentiert. Hierbei wird auf Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistiken ebenso wie auf Befragungsstudien zuruckgegriffen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Kinder- und Jugendkriminalitat langfristig abgenommen hat. Seit dem Jahr 2015 ist allerdings vor allem im Bereich des Gewaltverhaltens ein signifikanter Anstieg feststellbar. Im zweiten Teil des Beitrags erfolgen anhand von wiederholt durchgefuhrten reprasentativen Befragungsstudien im Bundesland Niedersachsen Analysen zu moglichen Einflussfaktoren des Gewaltanstiegs sowie zu weiteren bedeutsamen Fragestellungen (z.B. Geschlechts- und Herkunftsunterschied im Gewaltverhalten). Der Gewaltanstieg steht u.a. damit in Verbindung, dass junge Menschen vermehrt den Gewalteinsatz als positiv einschatzen und auch starker als antiquiert einzustufende Konzepte von Mannlichkeit befurworten. Mogliche Folgerungen zu diesen Befunden werden diskutiert.

The prevalence of stalking: Current data from a German victim survey

European Journal of Criminology (2015)

Deborah F. Hellmann Sören Kliem

The present study, as part of a large-scale victim survey, examines the prevalence and nature of stalking in a representative German quota sample ( N = 5779). Applying a broad definition of stalking, the lifetime prevalence added up to 15 percent, depending on respondents’ age, gender, and immigrant background, as well as household size and relationship status. Conditional inference trees revealed that gender, relationship status, and household size were key factors in identifying victims of stalking. Offenders mostly committed stalking against the opposite gender. This pertains especially to female ( vs. male) victims. In most cases the offender and victim knew each other prior to the stalking. The results are compared with national and international findings. Implications and potential limitations are discussed.

Psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the Beck hopelessness scale (BHS): results from a German representative population sample

BMC Psychiatry (2018)

Sören Kliem Anna Lohmann Thomas Mößle Elmar Brähler

The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) has been the most frequently used instrument for the measurement of hopelessness in the past 40 years. Only recently has it officially been translated into German. The psychometric properties and factor structure of the BHS have been cause for intensive debate in the past.Based on a representative sample of the German population (N = 2450) item analysis including item sensitivity, item-total correlation and item difficulty was performed. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) for several factor solutions from the literature were performed. Multiple group factor analysis was performed to assess measurement invariance. Construct validity was assessed via the replication of well-established correlations with concurrently assessed measures.Most items exhibited adequate properties. Items #4, #8 and #13 exhibited poor item characteristics- each of these items had previously received negative evaluations in international studies. A one-dimensional factor solution, favorable for the calculation and interpretation of a sum score, was regarded as adequate. A bi-factor model with one content factor and two method factors (defined by positive/negative item coding) resulted in an excellent model fit. Cronbach's alpha in the current sample was .87. Hopelessness, as measured by the BHS, significantly correlated in the expected direction with suicidal ideation (r = .36), depression (r = .53) and life satisfaction (r = -.53). Strict measurement invariance could be established regarding gender and depression status. Due to limited research regarding the interpretation of fit indices with dichotomous data, interpretation of CFA results needs to remain tentative.The BHS is a valid measure of hopelessness in various subgroups of the general population. Future research could aim at replicating these findings using item response theory and cross-cultural samples. A one-dimensional bi-factor model seems appropriate even in a non-clinical population.
