What does this research mean for the field?

The TIDES-13 is a psychometrically robust, transdiagnostic measure of trait irritability that provides superior incremental validity over existing measures, while the EMO-I effectively details the phenomenology of episodic emotional outbursts in youth. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.METHODOLOGICAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate the psychometric properties, factor structure, and clinical utility of the Irritability and Dysregulation of Emotion Scale (TIDES-13) and Emotional Outburst Inventory (EMO-I) in youth.

Overview

Validation study demonstrates strong psychometric reliability and validity of TIDES-13 in clinical youth, suggesting its utility for assessing transdiagnostic irritability.

Key Points

To evaluate the psychometric properties, factor structure, and clinical utility of the Irritability and Dysregulation of Emotion Scale (TIDES-13) and Emotional Outburst Inventory (EMO-I) in youth.
Assessed a clinical sample of N=113 Turkish youth (mean age 11.80 ± 3.89 years; 54% male) using parent reports (n=113) and youth self-reports (n=87).
Administered the TIDES-13, EMO-I, Affective Reactivity Index (ARI), and psychopathology scales (T-DSM-IV-S, RCADS, SDQ) to assess factor structure, internal consistency, intraclass correlations, and incremental validity.
The TIDES-13 exhibited high internal consistency (parent α = 0.97; self-report α = 0.93; single-measure ICC = 0.45, average ICC = 0.62) and correlated significantly with psychopathology metrics (r = 0.23 to 0.63).
TIDES-13 demonstrated superior incremental validity over the ARI for predicting ADHD and conduct symptoms, whereas the EMO-I showed limited incremental validity beyond ARI and TIDES-13.
