H - 42 Multivariate Base Rates for the NIH Toolbox Emotion Battery in the Spanish-Speaking Normative Sample

Abstract Objective This study involved the calculation of multivariate base rates for the NIH Toolbox Emotion Battery (NIHTB-EB) for the Spanish-speaking normative sample, stratifying by sociocultural variables. Method Participants were 224 Spanish-speaking adults from the NIHTB norming study (M = 42.2 years-old, SD = 16.3; 40.2% Male; 100% Hispanic/Latinx). Frequencies of obtaining one or more “potentially problematic” emotion scores (i.e., either T60, depending on scale orientation) were calculated with stratifications by gender, education, country of birth and education, bilingualism, and household income. The NIHTB-EB includes 17 scales measuring negative affect, social satisfaction, and psychological well-being. Results When interpreting all 17 scales, 59.8% of participants had one or more potentially problematic score(s). Only education was related to problematic score frequencies (p
