Objective: In this study, the aim of the present study was to validate the Turkish version of the C-PFS after translation of the original version. Design: The data were collected via face-to-face interviews using the Turkish version of C-PFS (C-PFS-T) and a sociodemographic information form. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated by dividing body weight by the square of the height. After the adaptation of the scale to Turkish language, validity and reliability analysis were conducted for the C-PFS-T. Setting: Gülhane Training and Research Hospital Department of Child Health and Diseases Nutrition and Diet Unit in Ankara Participants: This research was conducted with volunteer children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 16 (n 268) Results: It was concluded that the 15-item C-PFS-T was collected under 3 factors as in the original version of the child version. Cronbach α coefficient was found to be 0.878 for the scale. The confirmatory factor analysis results showed the acceptability and applicability of adapting the version of the C-PFS-T in terms of χ2/df(=3.816), AGFI(=0.931), RMSEA(=0.082) and GFI(=0.852) fit indices. C-PFS-T total score’s median value of obese group wasn’t substantially different from normal weight group. Conclusions: It was concluded that the Turkish version of the C-PFS, which provides an assessment of the hedonic hunger status of children and adolescents with 15 items and 3 subdimensions, has sufficient reliability and validity to be applied to these subjects.

It Is as It Was: MDS‐UPDRS Part III Scores Cannot Be Combined with Other Parts to Give a Valid Sum

et al. 2022

Background Original clinimetric analyses by the Movement Disorder Society–sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS‐UPDRS) developers did not confirm the validity of summing the scores of its parts. Recent studies used the summed score of Part III and other parts as efficacy outcomes. Objective The aim of this study was to establish whether summing scores of MDS‐UPDRS parts can be recommended. Methods Using 7466 full MDS‐UPDRS scores, we applied two‐step factor analysis as in the original article to reassess the validity analysis with the threshold criterion set at comparative fit index ≥0.9. Results All comparative fit indexes of any combination including Part III were lower than 0.90. Conclusions Summing Part III MDS‐UPDRS scores with other parts is not clinimetrically sound. The MDS‐UPDRS is a validated four‐part scale with corresponding individual part scores and needs to be used within the limits originally presented. © 2022 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

“…This present study used at least any two of the following criteria, CFI > 0.80, TLI > 0.80, SRMR < 0.08, GFI > 0.90, and RMSEA < 0.08 to indicate a fit CFA model. The use of the cut-off scores was based on the literature review of Akkuş [57]…”

Sustainability Psychology of Disruption: Attitude towards Water Purification Technology Can Be Predicted by Cultural Value Orientation and Personality Traits

et al. 2021

The clean water crisis, particularly drinking water, is an issue that is strongly tied to water sustainability. The availability of disruptive technology that is cheaper and easy to use, such as a water purifier, is one answer to the ongoing crisis. Unfortunately, a disparity exists in the attitudes of Indonesia’s society toward this technology. Five cultural orientations are set as predictors, each hypothesized as able to predict such attitudes as mediated by relevant personality traits. This study applied a correlational-predictive design toward 244 individuals (112 males and 132 females, Mage = 23.766 years old, SDage = 6.196 years) residing in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city. The main results were: (1) uncertainty avoidance can predict attitudes toward water purification technology through the conscientiousness trait; (2) power distance is unable to predict attitudes through neuroticism; (3) collectivism can predict attitudes through agreeableness; (4) masculinity is unable to predict attitudes through extraversion; and (5) long-term orientation can predict attitudes toward water purification technology through the openness trait. Prior studies have generally employed culture and personality as two separate predictors, yet this study might be the first in setting culture and personality as socio-psychological processes that shape a person’s attitude toward water purification technology in a single theoretical model.
