The neurotic disorders questionnaire was originally created on the basis of the classical test theory and does not meet the requirements of modern psychometrics. Within the framework of our research, this technique has been modified and consists of 13 scales, the psychometric analysis of which included all the technical stages of iterative analysis and scale modeling based on the Rush metric system. This article presents the results of clinical validation of four of them. Purpose of the study. To assess the clinical effectiveness of the scales of coping deficit, anankasticity, the scale of impulsivity and addictive reactions, as well as the scale of general personal disorganization of the modified version of the questionnaire of neurotic disorders. Material and methods. 296 people were examined. Among them, 167 are women and 129 are men. Statistical methods of the study are factor analysis of standardized residuals, ROC analysis, correlation analysis. Results: The studied scales are homogeneous in their structure. Using the ROC-analysis, high and moderate differentiating properties of the scales were revealed, cutoff values were calculated, which were the criteria for interpretation. Correlation analysis of the total indicator revealed statistically significant correlations between the studied scales and the MMPI scores, the QIDS-SR16 questionnaire, and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HADS). Conclusions: The scales of coping deficit, anankasticity, the scale of impulsivity and addictive reactions, as well as the scale of general personal disorganization of the modified version of the neurotic disorders questionnaire are clinically valid and can be used to solve various practical problems.
