Journal ArticleDOI
The Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale: convergent validity and diagnostic discrimination.
TL;DR: Although women were more depressed than men on the SDS, gender did not interact with SDS as a predictor in a logistic regression analysis and the S DS showed greater accuracy in identifying nondepressed individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medication and hyperactivity: a meta-analysis.
Steven Thurber,C E Walker +1 more
TL;DR: The results of a meta-analysis centering on stimulant-drug therapy for hyperactive children indicate a highly reliable but comparatively small treatment impact, and criteria important in academic settings are apparently affected the least.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yasuhiro Kishi,Yasuhiro Kishi,Masashi Kato,Toru Okuyama,Toru Okuyama,Takashi Hosaka,Katsunaka Mikami,William H. Meller,Steven Thurber,Roger G. Kathol +9 more
TL;DR: The consulting physicians of patients with delirium often incorrectly turn to past psychiatric diagnoses and/or are distracted by the presence of pain and, thus, fail to accurately diagnose deliria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attitudes of Japanese nursing personnel toward patients who have attempted suicide.
TL;DR: The results suggest that less favorable attitudes among Japanese nurses may to some extent be the result of lack of knowledge regarding suicidal patients, and future studies should focus on the evaluation of educational experiences on attitudes and skill acquisition of nurses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Steven Thurber,Raynell A. Osborn +1 more
TL;DR: Boys and their parents did not differentiate internalizing from externalizing disorders; girls and parents were better able to discriminate between these types of psychopathology.
