The present paper is the third in a series on the evaluation of new tests designed to detect the disordered gambler. The present paper has two objectives. First, the observed variation in test performance between settings and populations is described in general terms and an explanation of the observed variation is presented in terms of what is referred to as spectrum effects. Second the expected variation in test performance between settings and populations is illustrated with several examples and the implications emphasized for the purpose of test evaluation.
本文是关于评估旨在检测病态赌徒的新测试的系列论文的第三篇。本文有两个目标。首先，以一般术语描述了不同环境和人群中测试性能的观察到的变化，并根据所谓的“谱效应”来解释观察到的变化。其次，通过几个示例说明了不同环境和人群中测试性能的预期变化，并强调了这些变化对测试评估目的的影响。
