Structural equation modeling of repeated retrospective reports of childhood maltreatment: Modeling of reports of child maltreatment
Open accessAbstract
The present study examined errors of reporting, including unreliability and recall bias, in retrospective reports of childhood maltreatment. Data were gathered on retrospective reports of childhood sexual and physical abuse and current mental health in a birth cohort of over 980 participants studied at ages 18 and 21. A structural equation model was developed to estimate the contributions of test unreliability and recall bias to reporting variation. Retrospective abuse reports were of modest test-retest reliability (r(tt) = 0.50 approximately). Recall bias accounted for <1% of report variance. As a consequence the observed correlations between maltreatment and mental health closely approximated the corresponding estimated true correlations. The results of the study suggested that, for this cohort, errors of measurement in reports of childhood maltreatment did not pose a significant threat to study validity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
