Validation of the Purdue Post-Traumatic Stress Scale on a sample of Vietnam veterans.
The Purdue Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Scale is a 15-item self-report instrument based on the DSM-III diagnostic criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder. This scale is a quick, easily administered, measure of psychological reactions to a traumatic event. The goal of the present report is to validate this instrument for use as a measure of long-lasting combat stress reactions of American Vietnam veterans. The PPS demonstrated a high degree of internal consistency with a Cronbach's coefficient alpha of 0.94. The PPS demonstrated construct validity through significant correlations with other self-report measures of combat experience and residual psychological distress, and through a factor analysis yielding three factors, labeled as arousal, avoidance, and the global perception of distress. Results support further use of the Purdue Post-traumatic Stress Scale as a research instrument for assessing the long-term impact of a traumatic event.

Validation of the Impact of Event Scale on a sample of American Vietnam veterans.
The goal of the present report is to validate the Impact of Event Scale for use as a measure of the enduring nature of reactions to combat stress by 60 American Vietnam veterans. Validity was supported through significant correlations with measures of abusive violence and combat exposure. From factor analysis a single factor (general level of distress) supported the validity of the scale and thereby further use with Vietnam veterans.

The Stressors of Clergy Children Inventory: reliability and validity.
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the Stressors of Clergy Children Inventory. The initial self-report survey was tested for internal consistency reliability. Tests for construct validity, concurrent validity, and internal consistency reliability indicated the inventory could be used in research. Recommendations for refinement and use were presented.

Computer use among elderly people.
This study investigates the literature on the state of knowledge on computer use among elderly people. Results of this review suggest that benefits may ensue if computer use is advocated. Functional limitations secondary to visual, hearing, and mobility changes; financial inadequacy; and cognitive limitation related to memory use are identified as barriers that may inhibit this population from learning how to use the computer. Methods and techniques dealing with these barriers are presented. Finally, teaching strategies that may be implemented to facilitate the learning process among elderly population on computer use are discussed and elucidated.
