Abstract

Perfectionism measures developed in English-speaking populations have become frequently used in many non-English contexts, including in Italy. Establishing structural and measurement equivalence of instruments between Canadian and Italian samples is therefore important in establishing the validity of these concepts and instruments in Italian contexts, and to allow for direct cross-cultural comparisons. The current study investigated the measurement equivalence between a Canadian and an Italian sample for the commonly used measures of perfectionism constructs based on the Comprehensive Model of Perfectionistic Behavior. The Hewitt & Flett Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, the Perfectionistic Self-Presentation Scale, and the Perfectionism Cognitions Inventory were examined for configural, metric, and scalar invariance via equivalence testing of multigroup confirmatory factor analysis models. The results showed some evidence for configural and metric equivalence for the three measures, thus facilitating cross-cultural interpretation of pattern of associations. However, there was no consistent evidence for scalar invariance, thus suggesting that direct comparisons of perfectionism levels between the two contexts cannot be meaningfully interpreted. This highlights the need for research in both Canadian and Italian contexts to understand cross-cultural differences and similarities in perfectionism.
在意大利和加拿大样本中检验完美主义测量方法的结构和测量不变性
在英语国家人群中开发的完美主义测量方法已在包括意大利在内的许多非英语国家的环境中被频繁使用。因此,在加拿大和意大利样本之间建立测量工具的结构和测量等效性,对于在意大利环境中建立这些概念和工具的有效性以及进行直接的跨文化比较非常重要。本研究根据完美主义行为综合模型,对加拿大和意大利样本中常用的完美主义构建测量方法的测量等效性进行了调查。通过多组确认性因素分析模型的等效测试,对休伊特& 弗莱特多维完美主义量表、完美主义自我表征量表和完美主义认知量表进行了构型、度量和标度不变性检验。结果显示,有证据表明这三种测量方法在构型和度量上是等效的,从而有助于对关联模式进行跨文化解释。然而,没有一致的证据表明标度不变性,这表明不能对两种背景下完美主义水平的直接比较进行有意义的解释。这凸显了在加拿大和意大利进行研究以了解完美主义的跨文化异同的必要性。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment (JPA) publishes contemporary and important information focusing on psychological and educational assessment research and evidence-based practices as well as assessment instrumentation. JPA is well known internationally for the quality of published assessment-related research, theory and practice papers, and book and test reviews. The methodologically sound and impiricially-based studies and critical test and book reviews will be of particular interest to all assessment specialists including practicing psychologists, psychoeducational consultants, educational diagnosticians and special educators.
