Descriptive statistics for each HiTOP-BR scale, as printed in the "Superspectra and Spectra Scales" block of Table 1 of the HiTOP-SR introduction paper. The reference group is that paper's Development Sample 2, N = 780 Prolific Academic participants stratified by sex and age to approximate a community-representative United States population. It is a development sample, not a community norm: no weighting to a census frame was applied and the paper publishes no raw-score to T-score table. Read a score against these statistics as a comparison with the sample the instrument was developed on.
Format
A tibble with 8 rows and 8 columns:
- Scale
The name of the scale. Matches hitopbr_scales$Scale.
- camelCase
That name converted to camel case – the stem
score_hitopbr()appends to itsprefixwhen it names a score column- type
"scale"throughout. Table 1 prints all eight rows under one heading and labels none of them a superspectrum or a spectrum, so no such distinction is recorded here.- nItems
The number of items in the scale (integer)
- reliability
The internal-consistency reliability coefficient printed for that scale
- reliabilityType
What that coefficient is.
"alpha"throughout: Cronbach's alpha is what the paper prints. Supplied by this package, not read from the table.- mean
The scale score's mean in the development sample
- sd
The scale score's standard deviation in the development sample
Details
Every statistic is a printed cell of that table, transcribed and verified
against it; nothing here is computed from data by this package. The mean and
sd are on the HiTOP-BR's own four-option 1-4 response coding, and scale
scores are item means, so a score computed on another coding is not comparable
to them. interval_hitopbr() reads this table.
The HiTOP-BR scales were developed independently of the HiTOP-SR primary scales, drawing on the same item pool, and are not a short form of them (Table 1's Note), so these statistics are not comparable with hitopsr_devstats.
Item counts
Table 1's printed # Items agrees with the item count
hitopbr_scales derives from hitopbr_items for all eight scales. It did
not always: item 36 ("I had a hard time asserting myself to others.") was
keyed to Detachment in this package until it was corrected to
Internalizing, the scale the instrument's development workbook gives it in
both its item-to-scale sheet and its scoring syntax, and the scale the
paper's own factor table loads it on. Detachment therefore has 5 items and
Internalizing 8, which is what Table 1 prints for each.
