The inter-rater reliability of Brown's measure of ongoing difficulties ('severity') is shown to be comparable with that of the measure of life events ('long-term threat') when using data from an elderly subject pool. Test-retest reliabilities for both the life event and difficulty measures are shown to be adequate if based on 'consensus' ratings. The question is raised of generalizability of the concepts of 'threat' and 'severity' across the lifespan.
当使用来自老年受试者群体的数据时，布朗对持续困难（“严重程度”）的测量的评分者间信度被证明与生活事件测量（“长期威胁”）的评分者间信度相当。如果基于“共识”评分，生活事件和困难测量的重测信度都显示是足够的。“威胁”和“严重程度”概念在整个生命周期中的可推广性问题被提了出来。
