National Comorbidity Survey Replication Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A): I. Background and Measures
TL;DR: The retrospective NCS-A data on the development of psychopathology can additionally complement data from longitudinal studies based on more geographically restricted samples and serve as a useful baseline for future prospective studies of the onset and progression of mental disorders in adulthood.

An Exploratory Study about Inaccuracy and Invalidity in Adolescent Self-Report Surveys
Xitao Fan,Brent C. Miller,Kyung-Eun Park,Bryan W. Winward,Mathew Christensen,Harold D. Grotevant,Robert H. Tai +6 more
TL;DR: This article found that the jokesters showed considerably more pronounced distorting effects on some psychosocial and behavioral outcome variables than the inaccurate responders did, suggesting that although this effect may not seriously bias the results in studies that focus on large groups, for research focusing on some special subgroups (e.g., adoption groups, immigrant groups, disability groups), this effect could pose a serious challenge for the validity of research findings.

Coefficient alpha and the internal structure of tests.
TL;DR: In this paper, a general formula (α) of which a special case is the Kuder-Richardson coefficient of equivalence is shown to be the mean of all split-half coefficients resulting from different splittings of a test, therefore an estimate of the correlation between two random samples of items from a universe of items like those in the test.

Social Foundations of Thought and Action: A Social Cognitive Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, models of Human Nature and Casualty are used to model human nature and human health, and a set of self-regulatory mechanisms are proposed. But they do not consider the role of cognitive regulators.

Book

Multiple regression in behavioral research
TL;DR: Kerlinger and Pedhazur as discussed by the authors present the three main applied analytical models which derive from the general linear hypothesis-analysis of variance, regression, and analysis of covariance.
