Can we predict who will retain the U Classification?
The following variables were examined in relation to retaining the U Classification:
-Rater agreement
-Primary AAI classification
-Education and Verbal Ability
-Experience of Abuse
-Nature of Losses
-Relationship Variables
-Recent Stressful Experiences
Patterns of Change in the “U” Classification are Not Explained by Low Rater Agreement
Rater agreement on U classification is high
Premarital = 84% agreement, kappa = .60, p < .001
18 months = 89% agreement, kappa = .60, p < .001
