This study evaluated the internal consistency, 1-month test-retest reliability, and validity of a cognitive measure of personality disorders, the Belief Questionnaire (BQ; Beck, 1990). A large, nonclinical sample of college undergraduates completed the BQ, the MMPI-Personality Disorder scales (MMPI-PD; Morey, Waugh, & Blashfield, 1985), and the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-Revised (PDQ-R; Hyler & Rieder, 1987) at two times separated by 1 month. Results indicated high internal consistency and test-retest reliability for the BQ subscales. Validity results, however, were not so strong. The BQ scales were highly positively intercorrelated, and only moderate correspondence between BQ scores and corresponding scores from the MMPI-PD and PDQ-R was found.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subsequent post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) often impair daily activities and mental health (MH), which contribute to long-term TBI-related disability. PTE also affects driving capacity, which impacts functional independence, community participation, and satisfaction with life (SWL). However, studies evaluating the collective impact of PTE on multidimensional outcomes are lacking.

Digital cognitive training may improve cognition in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI); however, the effect on functionality remains poorly defined. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is a valid and consistent instrument for evaluating the performance of activities of daily living in this population. This study used the COPM to investigate the effects of digital cognitive training on functionality in individuals with MCI.

We investigated gene-environment interaction in ADHD traits, focusing on environmental variables related to personality traits, school environment, satisfaction with life, and callousness. Using data from 2170 16-year-old twins and state-of-the-art methodology to prevent spurious findings due to measurement scale artifacts, gene-environment interaction models were estimated separately for the two core ADHD dimensions, hyperactivity-impulsivity, and inattentiveness. Based on scores on the SWAN questionnaire, where high scores are reflective of low ADHD traits, results showed that additive genetic influences were more important in explaining individual differences in the degree of hyperactivity-impulsivity in twins with a high score on the trait conscientiousness than in twins with a moderate or low score (e.
