“…Using other diagnostic interviews and clinical interviewing as the criterion, the CAPS has been found to have good sensitivity (74%-91%), specificity (71%-95%), with kappa values ranging from .58 to .75 (Hovens et al, 1994;Hyer et al, 1994;Radnitz et al, 1995;Weathers et al, 1999). Evidence of convergent and discriminant validity is more variable, but also generally strong (Blake et al, 1990;Hovens et al, 1994;Hyer et al, 1996;Weathers et al, 1999). For a full review of the CAPS interview, see Weathers, Keane, and Davidson (2001).…”

“…Internal consistency for the individual symptom clusters ranges from .63 to .89 (Blake et al, 1990;Hovens et al, 1994;Hyer, Summers, Boyd, Litaker, & Boudewyns, 1996;Weathers et al, 1999). Internal consistency for the 17 core PTSD symptoms is very good, ranging from .89 to .95 (Hovens et al, 1994;Hyer et al, 1996;Weathers et al, 1999). Inter-rater reliability estimates are also high.…”

“…The CAPS is currently considered the gold standard for PTSD assessment (Briere & Scott, 2006). Overall alpha coefficients have been reported at or above .94 for hearing samples (Blake et al, 1995;Hyer, Summers, Boyd, Litaker, & Boudewyns, 1996) and at .87 for the current deaf sample (Schild & Dalenberg, 2012).…”

Both deafness and dissociation disconnect people from certain aspects of the external environment. Dissociation among the deaf population has been largely neglected as an area of scientific investigation. The purpose of this study was twofold: first, to examine the psychometrics of 2 dissociation measures--the Dissociation scale of the Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI) and the Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire-20 (SDQ-20); and second, to evaluate the relationship between dissociation and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in deaf adults. A diverse sample of 79 deaf adults was assessed using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale, the TSI, and the SDQ-20. Results provided support for the concept of psychoform dissociation, as measured by the TSI Dissociation scale, in deaf adults. However, somatoform dissociation, as measured by the SDQ-20, showed lower internal consistency. The SDQ-5, a shortened version of the SDQ-20, was unreliable in the current sample. Deaf adults were significantly higher on psychoform dissociation than the norm samples of hearing adults. As in hearing samples, dissociation--both psychoform and somatoform--was significantly related to PTSD symptoms. In addition, those with dissociative PTSD displayed significantly more symptoms of depression, anger, impaired self-reference, tension reduction behavior, and somatoform dissociation than did the nondissociative PTSD group.

“…For the purposes of this study, continuous CAPS data (e.g., total frequency plus intensity scores) were emphasized, although the CAPS also yields dichotomous diagnostic data (for a comprehensive CAPS scoring discussion, please refer Weathers & Litz, 1994). The CAPS has been found to have a diagnostic specificity of 95%, a sensitivity of 90%, positive predictive power at 92%, and negative predictive power at 93% (Hyer, Summers, Boyd, Litaker, & Boudewyns, 1996). Test-retest reliability coefficients also range from .90 to .98 for the 17 symptom questions, as reported by Weathers and his colleagues (as cited in Blake et al, 1995).…”

Relationships Between Attribution Style, Child Abuse History, and PTSD Symptom Severity in Vietnam Veterans

2006

Relationships between learned helplessness, locus of control, child abuse histories, adult trauma exposure and subsequent PTSD symptom severity in a clinical sample of male Vietnam veterans were examined. Learned helplessness and external locus of control were not only reliably associated with each other, but also differentially associated with childhood abuse and PTSD symptom severity. Learned helplessness, in particular, evidenced significant relationships with both childhood trauma and current distress. Contrary to expectations, child abuse history was not reliably associated with combat-related PTSD. Overall results suggested that learned helplessness and external locus of control are correlated, but independent constructs with compelling links to adult psychopathology.
