There is ongoing debate about the methods that evaluators should use to assess the adaptive functioning of an individual in an Atkins claim, including the appropriateness of using self‐report measures and extent to which adaptive functioning measures are valid for persons with a history of violent offending. This study examined whether offenders' self‐report adaptive functioning scores tended to decrease as their level of psychopathic traits increased. Eighty‐five male felony probationers completed the self‐report version of the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System – II (ABAS‐II: Harrison & Oakland, 2003), the Psychopathic Personality Inventory – Revised (PPI‐R: Lilienfeld & Widows, 2005), and a brief intelligence screening measure. ABAS‐II composite scores were negatively correlated with PPI‐R Self‐Centered Impulsivity and Coldheartedness scores, but positively correlated with Fearless Dominance scores. These relationships appeared to be due, in part, to over‐reporting symptoms of impairment across measures, suggesting that scores on self‐report adaptive functioning measures may be especially susceptible to feigning.

The measurement of parenting behaviors is important to the field of psychology and the goal of remediating problematic parenting
as a means of reducing child problem behaviors. The Parenting Young Children (PARYC) is a self-report measure designed to
address parenting behaviors relevant for the caregivers of young children, and was assessed in sample of 579 high risk families.
The measure assesses the frequency of several parenting behaviors, the perception of the parenting behaviors as problematic,
and the degree to which the caregiver would like to make changes in specific parenting skills. An examination of the validity
of the parenting behavior items revealed three parenting scales: (1) Supporting Positive Behavior (2) Setting Limits, and
(3) Proactive Parenting. Confirmatory factor analysis results corroborate the findings of the exploratory factor analysis,
supporting the measurement structure of these parenting scales. Tests of convergent validity indicate the PARYC scale is a
suitable measure of parenting behaviors. In addition, the self-perception of parenting behaviors as problematic predicted
concurrent levels of service utilization while controlling for simultaneous child behavior problems. 相似文献

ABSTRACTIn this mixed methods study of 56 entry-level pimps in Harlem, NY, we explore how pimps’ choices to use violence or control differ by where they are selling sex, who their clientele are, and whether these violent and controlling behaviors yield higher returns. First, we qualitatively explore how pimps account for each of these choices, and how each group of choices are related to the other choices. Second, we use bivariate statistical techniques to see whether there are associations in this sample between pimps’ ages and each of those decisions, and between each of those decisions and reported earnings. We find that younger pimps work with clients and sex workers in their social networks because they are easier to hold accountable, which leads younger pimps to bypass the self-reported risks involved with more violent work, but also tends be associated with lower self-reported earnings. Older pimps gravitate toward stranger clients, which involves more risk but higher earnings. Most pimps do not describe regularly using violence either against sex workers or to protect sex workers, but the use of violence is more common among older pimps. The accounts of regularly using violence with workers are not associated with higher earnings. The idea that pimps control most aspects of how sex workers labor and other aspects of their lives such as where they live are not substantiated by the accounts of the pimps themselves, but we do find older pimps describe exerting more control over sex workers than younger pimps. We discuss the implications of our findings, which demonstrate that pimps are a diverse group who see their own violence and control decisions as related to age, location, clientele, and perceived risks and rewards. 相似文献
