Abstract

Background: The Self-Absorption Scale (SAS) is one of the few instruments that measure dysfunctional self-focused attention or self-absorption, a transdiagnostic factor of vulnerability to various emotional disorders. The internal structure of the Spanish version of the SAS and its relationship with other variables have not been examined, nor has whether its subscales provide relevant information. These were the two goals of the present study.

Method: The factor structure of the SAS, its internal consistency, and its relationship with depression and post-traumatic stress were analyzed in a Spanish community sample of 519 adults.

Results: The SAS presented a symmetrical bifactor structure with a general factor of self-absorption that explained most of the variance in the items and two specific factors of private and public self-absorption. The total scale and the two subscales of the SAS exhibited excellent, good or adequate reliability coefficients (alphas/omegas = .70 – .88) and correlated with depression and post-traumatic stress ( r = .34 – .46).

Conclusions: The SAS provides reliable, valid measures of dysfunctional self-focused attention in Spanish adults, but its Private and Public Self-absorption subscales are not much more useful than the information provided by its total scale.

西班牙人自我吸收量表 (SAS) 的有效性证据。

背景：自我吸收量表（SAS）是少数几种测量自我关注或自我吸收功能障碍的工具之一，而自我关注或自我吸收功能障碍是易患各种情绪障碍的跨诊断因素。西班牙文版 SAS 的内部结构及其与其他变量的关系尚未得到研究，其子量表是否提供相关信息也未得到研究。这正是本研究的两个目标：方法：在西班牙社区的 519 个成年人样本中分析了 SAS 的因子结构、内部一致性及其与抑郁和创伤后应激的关系：结果：SAS 呈对称的双因子结构，其中一个总因子 "自我吸收 "解释了大部分项目的方差，另外两个特定因子 "私人自我吸收 "和 "公共自我吸收 "解释了大部分项目的方差。SAS的总量表和两个分量表的信度系数（alphas/omegas = .70 – .88）为优秀、良好或适当，并与抑郁和创伤后应激相关（r = .34 – .46）：SAS提供了可靠、有效的西班牙成年人自我关注功能失调的测量方法，但其 "私人 "和 "公共 "自我吸收分量表并不比总量表提供的信息更有用。
