Starting point for the instrument is a multidimensional, generalized (as opposed to disease-specific) and patient-centered concept of quality of life. The Munich Quality of Life Dimension List (MLDL) assesses the satisfaction with 19 empirically well-supported aspects of life, with a focus on physical, psychological, social and daily-life components. As shown here, the psychometric properties of the MLDL were tested on ten different populations (n = approx. 1200). The results revealed satisfying values for reliability and validity. It also indicated a good sensitivity, which has to be replicated in further studies. The MLDL can be considered to be an economical and methodologically satisfying instrument for the assessment of quality of life in German-speaking countries and it can be listed among other traditional quality of life scales.

The goal of the current study is to examine further psychometric qualities of the Quality Of Life after BRain Injury-Overall Scale (QOLIBRI-OS) at the item level using Rasch analysis with particular emphasis on the operating characteristics of the items. Method: A total of 921 participants with traumatic brain injury were recruited. The analysis sample was restricted to 795 participants with Glasgow Coma Score and Glasgow Outcome Score–Extended available in order to ensure a well-characterized sample. Results: Overall fit statistics indicate sufficient reliability of the QOLIBRI-OS. The assumption of unidimensionality could be confirmed with reservation. The range of item locations is small, whereas item thresholds cover a wide range of the latent trait. The majority of parameter estimations for all class intervals of the respective test are in accordance with the model assumptions. Conclusion: The results show that, despite marginal misfits to the model, the six items representing the QOLIBRI-OS could establish a Rasch scale.

Stimulus processing appears to be temporally segmented by sequential processing units of 30 to 40 (more conservative: 20–50) ms duration. Such time quanta may reflect “system states” brought about by neuronal oscillations. These oscillations are stimulus dependent and, thus, can be described as relaxation oscillators. Successive system states can be linked together by an integration mechanism. Such temporal integration has an upper limit of a few (approximately 3) seconds. This integration can be conceived of as one of the fundamental mechanisms of mental activity because it provides discrete temporal segments within which unique chunks of percepts or cognitions are represented.

These are already evident in infancy. We aimed to compare how young children recognize facial emotional expressions from static faces versus vocal emotional expressions from speech prosody. Methods: Participants were 313 kindergarten children (162 girls, mean age = 51.01, SD 9.65 months; range 36–72). The design consisted of a visual and an auditory block (with 45 randomized trials each). Children were seated in front of a 14-inch laptop monitor and received visual stimuli (photos of faces) or auditory stimuli (spoken sentences) via loudspeakers. Results: Recognizing emotions from looking at static faces was found to be easier compared to interpreting emotions transmitted by speech prosody alone. The ability to interpret emotions from both faces and speech prosody increased with age. It was easier to identify a “happy” emotion from a facial expression than an “angry” or “sad” one, whereas a “sad” emotion could be more easily recognized from speech prosody alone than facial imagery alone. Girls were significantly better than boys in identifying “sad” facial expressions. Conclusion: The results of the study are discussed in terms of educational implications for nonverbal communication.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based, collaborative, goal-oriented communication technique to strengthen a person's own motivation and commitment to change. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a brief virtual role-play MI-training program on MI-knowledge and skills in first-year undergraduate medical students, making use of both a pre-test and a then-test (retrospective pre-test) to check for response shift in evaluating the educational intervention. METHODS Four 10-15 min MI-game-based training conversations embedded in the Kognito Conversation Platform™ were offered to the students using a single-group Interrupted Time Series design. RESULTS Participants included 339 undergraduate medical students (RR= 83.1%). The one-hour MI virtual training proved effective in two ways: participants gained knowledge and skills, and increased awareness of the existing intrinsic knowledge and skill they already possess to communicate with future patients in a patient-centered way. CONCLUSION A brief one-hour MI-training simulation can be effective even if offered at an early stage during medical education. Furthermore, response shift varied and was not present in all students. PRACTICE IMPLICATION The addition of a then-test to the study design reveals results that otherwise would not have been found.
