Composite SAS of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition: is it determined by only one area SAS?

Article Abstract:

The Composite Standard Age Score (SAS) of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition fails to be an accurate measure of the intellectual capabilities for persons with mental retardation. The Composite SAS is close to the lowest Area SAS instead of an aggregate of the four Area SAS of Verbal, Quantitative, and Abstract/Visual Reasoning and Short-Term Memory, when there is a discrepancy among them. This pattern in Binet scores fails to show consistency for individuals of other intellectual levels.

The Smoking Consequences Questionnaire-Adult: measurement of smoking outcome expectancies of experienced smokers

Article Abstract:

The Smoking Consequences Questionnaire (SCQ) was originally designed to measure the outcome expectancies of college students for cigarette smoking. A new version is developed that is intended for adult smokers. Two different forms of SCQ-Adult are introduced, with one consisting of subjective expected utility items and the other consisting of probability items. Analysis of these measures indicates that the specificity of expectancies increases along with smoking experience.

Psychometric properties of the positive Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire

Article Abstract:

The Positive Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (ATQ-P) was developed as a tool for measuring the frequency of positive self-relevant thoughts automatically conceived by individuals. It is designed specifically as a positive counterpart to the original ATQ, which measures the frequency of negative self-statements. The ATQ-P is found to have stable reliability and acceptable convergent and discriminate validity.
