Well, March is going to be exciting! PATS is headed to SPA again and the amazing Tina Greene put together an awesome program guide to help those who are at SPA who want to see what our lab is doing – and for the PATS lab to keep track of all 14(!!) different presentations/awards. ClickContinue reading “Society of Personality Assessment: Conference Planning!”

Previous work has examined PAI response patterns on those with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), but these research efforts have faced a number of notable challenges. Accordingly, findings between studies have often contradicted. There are a variety of reasons for these contradictions including, but not limited to, that prior research has: (1) not excluded individualsContinue reading “New Article: mTBI response patterns in Active-Duty personnel on the PAI”

Click here to download the article PDF We had another paper published recently looking at the detection of cognitive over-reporting on the PAI, examining the CBS again (see also Armistead-Jehle et al., 2021) along with the new CB-SOS scales. The SOS scales offer a scale level approach to incorporating a cognitive-specific over-reporting scale, rather thanContinue reading “Cognitive Over-Reporting Detection on the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI)”

This was another awesome project to do with the fantastic Dr. Pat Armistead-Jehle. One of the major shortcomings of the Green’s MCI is its lack of of work with other SVTs, despite the limited work to date cross validating the MCI with those measures (Armistead-Jehle & Shura, 2022). This study was intended to expanded thatContinue reading “More Military Neuro Work: Examining the Memory Complaints Inventory (MCI)”

Recently, a collaboration with the wonderful folks at the Salisbury Veteran Affairs MIRECC was published in The Clinical Neuropsychologist. In this article we examined the CBS and CB-SOS scales for the PAI to determine their detection of over-reported cognitive symptoms (Word Memory Test Criterion) and general psychopathology over-reporting (M-Fast Criterion) in a sample of post-deploymentContinue reading “New Article: The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) CBS and CB-SOS cognitive over-reporting scales in Veterans”

The lab is working extensively to expand the research on over-reporting detection on the PAI for Cognitive symptoms. The most recent paper is part of a new collaboration with the staff at the Hefner VA MIREC in Salisbury, North Carolina, including the fantastic Dr. Robert Shura (as well as other training staff there). It isContinue reading “Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) Cognitive Over-reporting Validity Detection”

I’m thrilled to have another paper out with the fantastic Dr. Pat Armistead-Jehle which focuses on validity assessment and scale effectiveness. It is still in press so no formal PDFS yet, but it will appear in Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology. As the first step to interpretation of substantive scale use, validation of validity efforts remainsContinue reading “Use of the Memory Complaints Inventory: Relationship to the PAI Cognitive Bias Scale (CBS) SVT Measure as a Criterion”

Cole recently published yet another amazing paper, expanding the ability to use contemporary personality assessment measures and link their use with other clinical practices. In this case, they examined how common depression screens (i.e., PHQ-2/9) used in medical settings relate to the more comprehensive MMPI-3. So useful, building directly on an article by David McCordContinue reading “Assessing the Screening of Depression: What does the PHQ measure and how should clinicians conceptualize findings?”

More excellent work from TTU Clinical Psych student Becca Bergquist was just accepted to the Journal of Clinical Psychology! Long story short, we were curious if our national sample of clinical/counseling students could give us a better sense of the factors influencing if they plan to incorporate assessment into their careers (as a major componentContinue reading “NEW PAPER: Factors influencing student intention to conduct psych assessments in their careers”

This is another great project on personality assessment in active duty military personnel who underwent a neuropsych evaluation with Pat Armistead-Jehle. Also, the work of Tristan (Picture above; lab postbac) and Sarah McCracken (check the lab members webpage) were fantastic. I’ll summarize our work / findings. Previous research on the PAI has examined response patternsContinue reading “2022 AACN: The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) and TBI in active duty service members”
