“…This analysis used mothers as the reference source due to the use of mothers as the reference source in the earlier studies (Litson et al, 2016; Preszler et al, 2016). The Mplus code for this model is available from the corresponding author.…”

“…Two recent studies applied single and multiple source LST models to ADHD-IN, ADHD-hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptom ratings in Spanish children (Litson, Geiser, Burns, & Servera, 2016; Preszler, Burns, Litson, Geiser, & Servera, 2016). Each study involved the same four sources (mothers, fathers, primary teachers, and secondary teachers) rating Spanish children in the first and second grades.…”

“…This objective required that a single source LST model be fit to the ratings for each source separately (Figure 1). It was predicted that SCT symptoms would show larger amount of trait (consistency over occasions) than occasion-specific variance for each source (approximately 70% trait variance if the findings are similar to the ADHD-IN symptom ratings, Litson et al, 2016). This outcome would indicate that the SCT symptoms were more trait- than state-like for each source over the three occasions of measurement for the one-year interval.…”

Research has yet to determine how much of the true score variance in sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) symptom ratings is consistent across occasions, sources, and settings versus specific to occasion, source, and setting (i.e., a trait or state-like construct). Our first objective was to determine the amount of variance in SCT ratings that was consistent (trait consistency) across three occasions of measurement over 12-months versus specific to the occasion (occasion-specificity) with ratings by mothers, fathers, primary teachers, and secondary teachers of 811 Spanish children. Our second objective was then to determine the convergent validity for trait consistency and occasion-specificity variance components within and across settings. SCT ratings reflected mostly trait consistency for mothers, fathers, and primary teachers (less so for secondary teachers) with the convergent validity for trait consistency also being strong for mothers with fathers and for primary teachers with secondary teachers. Across home and school, however, convergent validity for trait consistency was low and even lower for occasion-specificity. Although SCT symptoms showed similar levels of trait consistency across occasions and convergent validity within settings as ADHD symptoms in a prior study, SCT symptoms had slightly weaker convergent validity for trait consistency across settings relative to ADHD symptoms.

“…The separation of trait and state residual variance in ODD symptoms also has implications for the analysis of the convergent validity of the ODD dimension within and across settings (Courvoisier, Nussbeck, Eid, Geiser, & Cole, 2008; Litson et al, in press). A multiple source LST model allows one to determine the proportion of trait and state residual variance that is either shared or not shared between a reference source (e.g., mothers) and non-reference sources (e.g., fathers, teachers).…”

“…A multiple source LST model allows one to determine the proportion of trait and state residual variance that is either shared or not shared between a reference source (e.g., mothers) and non-reference sources (e.g., fathers, teachers). With two sources in the home (mothers and fathers) and two sources in the school (primary and secondary teachers), Litson and colleagues (in press) showed that trait variance in ADHD-IN and ADHD-HI constructs showed high levels of convergent validity within settings (78% to 82%) and moderate convergent validity across settings (i.e., school to home, 41% to 63%). State residual variance showed small to moderate convergent validity within settings (i.e., 29% to 53%) but essentially zero (0% to 2%) convergent validity across settings.…”

The objective was to determine and compare the trait and state components of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptom reports across multiple informants. Mothers, fathers, primary teachers, and secondary teachers rated the occurrence of the ODD symptoms in 810 Spanish children (55% boys) on two occasions (end first and second grades). Single source latent state-trait (LST) analyses revealed that ODD symptom ratings from all four sources showed more trait (M = 63%) than state residual (M = 37%) variance. A multiple source LST analysis revealed substantial convergent validity of mothers’ and fathers’ trait variance components (M = 68%) and modest convergent validity of state residual variance components (M = 35%). In contrast, primary and secondary teachers showed low convergent validity relative to mothers for trait variance (Ms = 31%, 32%, respectively) and essentially zero convergent validity relative to mothers for state residual variance (Ms = 1%, 3%, respectively). Although ODD symptom ratings reflected slightly more trait- than state-like constructs within each of the four sources separately across occasions, strong convergent validity for the trait variance only occurred within settings (i.e., mothers with fathers; primary with secondary teachers) with the convergent validity of the trait and state residual variance components being low to non-existent across settings. These results suggest that ODD symptom reports are trait-like across time for individual sources with this trait variance, however, only having convergent validity within settings. Implications for assessment of ODD are discussed.
