   Proposal Description:
   Different aspects of reliability and validity for a measure change from sample to sample. To date, there has been no published nuanced psychometric evaluation of the FAQ and NPI that includes evaluation of different aspects of reliability (e.g., internal consistency, temporal consistency), validity (e.g., convergent/discriminant validity, criterion validity with cognitive neuroimaging data, diagnostic accuracy), and latent structure. It is also unknown if these psychometric characteristics vary across demography (e.g., gender, ethnicity, linguistic background). Such information will inform clinical care and research that uses the FAQ and NPI.
