Abstract

Objective: The Cooper-Norcross Inventory of Preferences (C-NIP) is a brief, multidimensional measure of clients' therapy preferences. This study aimed to examine the factor structure and measurement invariance of the C-NIP.

Method: Fifteen datasets (N = 10,088 observations) representing the C-NIP in nine language versions were obtained from authors of psychometric studies. Confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data.

Results: None of the proposed models adequately fit the data. Therefore, a new model was developed that sufficiently fit most of the C-NIP version 1.1 datasets. The new model was invariant up to the strict and means levels across genders, ages, and psychotherapy experience but only up to the metric level across translations.

Conclusions: The C-NIP can be used to compare men and women, people of diverse ages, and people with some vs. no experience with psychotherapy. Lower reliabilities of the C-NIP scales are a limitation.

库珀-诺克罗斯偏好量表：跨国际数据集和语言的测量不变性。

目的：库珀-诺克罗斯偏好量表（C-NIP）是一种简短、多维度的客户治疗偏好测量方法。本研究旨在检验 C-NIP 的因子结构和测量不变性：方法：从心理测量学研究的作者处获得了 15 个数据集（N = 10,088 个观测值），这些数据集代表了 C-NIP 的 9 种语言版本。方法：从心理测量研究的作者处获得了 15 个数据集（N = 10,088 个观测值），这些数据集代表了 9 种语言版本的 C-NIP 数据：结果：所提出的模型都不能充分拟合数据。因此，我们建立了一个新模型，该模型能够充分拟合大多数 C-NIP 1.1 版数据集。新模型在不同性别、年龄和心理治疗经验的严格水平和均值水平上是不变的，但在不同翻译的度量水平上是不变的：C-NIP可用来比较男性和女性、不同年龄段的人以及有心理治疗经验和没有心理治疗经验的人。C-NIP量表的信度较低是其局限性之一。

期刊介绍： Psychotherapy Research seeks to enhance the development, scientific quality, and social relevance of psychotherapy research and to foster the use of research findings in practice, education, and policy formulation. The Journal publishes reports of original research on all aspects of psychotherapy, including its outcomes, its processes, education of practitioners, and delivery of services. It also publishes methodological, theoretical, and review articles of direct relevance to psychotherapy research. The Journal is addressed to an international, interdisciplinary audience and welcomes submissions dealing with diverse theoretical orientations, treatment modalities.
