Adjusting for cross-cultural differences in computer-adaptive tests of quality of life.
PURPOSE: Previous studies using the WHOQOL measures have demonstrated that the relationship between individual items and the underlying quality of life (QoL) construct may differ between cultures. If unaccounted for, these...
Introducing the WHOQOL-SRPB BREF
Purpose:
The aim was to develop and conduct preliminary testing of a short-form measure to assess spiritual, religious and personal beliefs (SRPB) within quality of life (QoL).
Methods:
Existing data from the 132...

Qualities of life, educational level and human development
INTRODUCTION AND METHODS: This study investigated the relationship between health-related quality of life (QoL), educational level and culture, using a high quality cross-cultural generic measure (WHOQOL-BREF) containing 25...

An international quality of life instrument to assess wellbeing in adults who are HIV-Positive
Few cross-cultural measures are available to assess quality of life (QoL) in HIV/AIDS. A short form of the WHOQOL-HIV—the WHOQOL-HIV BREF—was developed and tested. Survey data from 1,923 HIV-positive adults (selected for age...

The Max-Min Group Contest
We investigate a group all-pay auction in which each group's effort is represented by the minimum among the effort levels exerted by the group members and the prize is a group-specific public good. We fully characterize the...

May 18, 2018
Genetic testing for hereditary cancer predisposition has evolved rapidly in recent years with the discovery of new genes, but there is much debate over the clinical utility of testing genes for which there are currently limited...
Is quality of life poorer for older adults with HIV/AIDS? International evidence using the WHOQOL-HIV
Suzie M Skevington
Oct 01, 2012
Increasingly older adults are being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. In 2002, UNAIDS indicated that 13 aspects of quality of life (QoL) were poorer for older adults, but only sparse, inconsistent cross-cultural evidence is available....

Identity and Group Conflict
We experimentally investigate the effects of real and minimal identities on group conflict. In turn we provide a direct empirical test of the hypotheses coined by Amartya Sen that the salience of a real identity escalates...
