    Objective: The lack of self-rating multidimensional questionnaires to assess obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents poses a problem for monitoring clinical practices and implementing academic research. This study aimed to empirically examine the psychometric properties of the OCI-CV in a Turkish clinical sample of children and adolescents diagnosed with OCD alongside a control group for comparative analysis. Method: The OCI-CV was administered alongside other measures to a clinical sample of 232 participants aged 8–18 years (mean±SD=13.35±2.68; female/male: 46.1%/53.9%) and a control group. Results: According to the results of the item analysis, corrected item-total correlation coefficients were found to be between 0.36 and 0.62. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original six-factor model with acceptable fit indices (Minimum Discrepancy per Degree of Freedom (CMIN/df)=1.734, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA)=0.056, Comparative Fit Index (CFI)=0.919, Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR)=0.067, Incremental Fit Index (IFI)=0.921, Normed Fit Index (NFI)=0.835, Root Mean Residual (RMR)=0.034). The standardized factor loadings of the scale items varied between 0.39 and 0.90. According to the Pearson correlation results, a significant positive correlation (p<0.001) was found within the scope of the concurrent validity of the OCI-CV. The Cronbach α coefficient of the six-dimensional 21-item scale was found to be 0.88, and that of the sub-dimensions of the scale ranged between 0.63 and 0.81. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated the psychometric properties of the Child Version of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (OCI-CV), and the results showed that the measure is valid and reliable for use in a clinical sample of Turkish children and adolescents.

    The Psychometric Properties of Autism Mental Status Examination (AMSE) in Turkish Sample
    (2025) Meral, Yavuz; Bıkmazer, Alperen; Örengül, Abdurrahman Cahid; Çakıroğlu, Süleyman; Altınbilek, Esra; Bakır, Fulya; Bıkmazer, Bilgihan; Saleh, Ayman; Görmez, Vahdet
    Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, and early diagnosis plays a pivotal role in prognosis and management. This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Autism Mental Status Exam (AMSE), a tool that shows great promise in terms of clinical utility, within the Turkish population. This study conducted in a cohort of 307 Turkish children aged 17 to 120 months with suspected ASD. Participants underwent a multidisciplinary assessment based on DSM-5 criteria for diagnosis and were categorized into ASD and non-ASD groups. Subsequently, the research team conducted blinded administrations of the AMSE and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). Additionally, a subset of 61 children underwent retesting for AMSE and CARS after three weeks for temporal stability. The results revealed an optimal cut-off score of 4 for AMSE, yielding sensitivity and specificity rates of 84% and 97%, respectively. Internal consistency, indicated by a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.80, was very good. The test-retest reliability, assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), was excellent (ICC = 0.959). The inter-rater reliability also showed excellent agreement (ICC = 0.997). Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between the AMSE and CARS scores (r = 0.94, p < 0.001). Notably, the AMSE scores were significantly different between the ASD and non-ASD groups (p < 0.001) with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.40). The findings of this study underscore the utility of AMSE as a valid and reliable tool for Turkish children with robust psychometric properties.
