The domains and individual risk factors in the VERA are presented in Table 1. As part of the administration of the VERA 2 (Pressman & Flockton, 2010), evaluators consider the presence of 31 risk and protective factors, also referred to as indicators, in five conceptual domains: Beliefs and Attitudes, Context and Intent, History and Capability, Commitment and Motivation, and Protective factors. [...] Finally, the interrater reliability of the ratings was good: The overall agreement for the 140 ratings was about 86%, and the chance-corrected agreement as indexed by Cohen’s κ for each of the 28 risk factors was at least. [...] In Study Two, we conducted a conceptual analysis of the content overlap of the MLG and VERA 2. We expected overlap between risk factors in the Individual and Individual-in-Group domains of the MLG and the Beliefs and Attitudes domain of the VERA 2 would be moderate to large, but overlap between the Group and Group-in- Society domains of the MLG and all the VERA 2 domains would be near-zero. [...] Looking at numerical scores, the interrater reliability of total and domain scores all fell in the excellent range, even for the Group-in-Society domain, ICC1 =. 87; there are summarized in Table 7. For relevance ratings, the interrater reliability of risk factors was in the excellent range for 9 of 16 risk factors, in the good range for 4 risk factors, and in the poor range for. [...] On one hand, the presence and relevance ratings for the Individual domain of the MLG had positive correlations with the HCR-20 V3 total and domain ratings, whereas the other MLG domain and total ratings had negative or near-zero correlations with the with the HCR- 20 V3 total and domain ratings.
