Abstract

AbstractWe examine the psychometric properties of the Weinberger Adjustment Inventory (WAI) from a modern psychometric perspective, including second-order models, better estimation of reliability, and measurement invariance, among a sample of young adults (N = 610, M = 21.33 years, SD = 3.09 years) from Portugal. Results indicated that only the four-factor intercorrelated confirmatory models of the WAI Distress and Restraint scales, and the two-factor intercorrelated confirmatory models of the WAI Defensiveness scales showed adequate fits. The WAI showed good reliability and distinctive correlates with other psychometric measures and criterion variables. Cross-gender measurement invariance was established. Our findings support the WAI as a valid and reliable measure.Keywords: AdjustmentdefensivenessWeinberger adjustment inventory (WAI)validation Conflict of interestThe authors have no conflicts of interest to report.Data availability statementData is available upon reasonable request.

温伯格调整量表葡萄牙语版:跨文化适应与测量不变性研究

摘要本文从现代心理测量学的角度考察了Weinberger调整量表(WAI)的心理测量特性，包括二阶模型、更好的信度估计和测量不变性，并对来自葡萄牙的年轻人样本(N = 610, M = 21.33, SD = 3.09)进行了研究。结果表明，只有WAI困扰与约束量表的四因子相互关联的验证模型和WAI防御量表的两因子相互关联的验证模型具有足够的拟合性。WAI与其他心理测量指标和标准变量具有良好的信度和显著的相关性。建立了跨性别测量不变性。我们的研究结果支持WAI是一个有效和可靠的测量方法。关键词:调整防御weinberger调整量表(WAI)有效性利益冲突作者无利益冲突报告。数据可用性声明数据可在合理要求下提供。
