Background: Mental health (MH) stigma is one of the main barriers to young people with MH problems seeking help. This study attempts to analyse it using the Stigma and Self-Stigma scales (SASS) in a representative sample of young people, novel aspects being the comprehensive perspective of the instrument used and the analysis of gender effects. Method: 378 students participated in the study. The scale's internal structure and its measurement invariance between genders were examined. Results: The five-factor model of the SASS showed adequate goodness-of-fit indices. Conclusions: The SASS is a brief, simple, and reliable instrument for assessing different dimensions of MH stigma in university settings.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to enhance traditional assessment practices by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enabling greater scalability. However, its use has largely been confined to large corporations, with limited uptake by researchers and practitioners. This study aims to critically review current AI-based applications in test construction and propose practical guidelines to help maximize their benefits while addressing potential risks.

Detecting late talkers among children is important because they are at greater risk of subsequently manifesting persistent disorders in language development. Therefore, it would be beneficial to have quick measurement tools with adequate psychometric properties, which have not yet been developed.
