An evaluation of the construct validity of the Adult Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
= 540; 43.7% female, 80.2% White; 16.7% Hispanic/Latinx), we examined the factor structure of the A-RSQ in samples of adult U.S. residents and investigated associations with mental health correlates, including neuroticism, social anxiety, anxiety, depression, anhedonia, somatic arousal, and psychological distress. Study 2 also evaluated relations with interpersonal correlates, including introversion, submissiveness, and anxious and avoidant attachment. A two-factor solution with rejection expectancy and rejection concern representing separate factors consistently fit the data best. Distinct patterns of associations emerged suggesting that concern was more strongly associated with indicators of negative affect while expectancy was uniquely associated with diminished positive affect. Both concern and expectancy were associated with indicators of interpersonal dysfunction. Findings suggest that the current operationalization, and perhaps conceptualization, of RS as measured by the A-RSQ requires revision. Additionally, RS may be a clinically relevant transdiagnostic phenotype that influences symptom manifestation and psychosocial functioning.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
