How predictable are life trajectories? We investigated this question with a scientific mass collaboration using the common task method; 160 teams built predictive models for six life outcomes using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a high-quality birth cohort study. Despite using a rich dataset and applying machine-learning…

Development of an Emotionality and Suicidal Tendency Scale for Prisoners in Hong Kong.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wu, Kitty K.; Lu, C. C.; Chan, C. M. – Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, 1996
Examines a scale that assesses prisoners' (N=1,655) emotional states and suicidal tendency. Results indicate that the scale has both high test-retest reliability and internal consistency. Subscales showed significant discriminant power in differentiating the high- and low-risk groups which were classified according to various measures of suicidal…

Validity of Two Measures of Suicidal Risk: MCMI-II Self-Destructive Potential "Noteworthy" Items vs the Suicidal Risk Scale.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hillbrand, Marc – Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, 1996
Compares the Self-Destructive Potential items of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II (MCMI-II) with the Suicidal Risk Scale in a sample of 32 inpatients. Computed the scales' sensitivity and predictive power for distant and recent suicidal behavior. Both measures demonstrated good diagnostic power but the SRS was the more efficient…
