Abstract

Background: The various systems of diagnosis and classification of mental disorders underline the need to evaluate the interference caused by the different disorders in a person's daily life. The Maladjustment Inventory (MI) evaluates the impairment in the individual's functioning in a brief and self-applied way, through six items. The objective of this research was to explore the psychometric properties of the MI scores through two studies, one with a Spanish clinical sample (Study 1) and another with a Spanish university students' sample (Study 2).

Methods: The total sample was made up of 928 participants (81.1% women, n = 495 clinical sample). Descriptive analyses, exploration of internal structure and reliability, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, relationship with other variables (quality of life, anxiety, depression, neuroticism and extraversion), and percentiles and T-scores were performed.

Results: The results showed good psychometric properties of the MI, with a good fit model for one factor solution in both samples, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.84-88, and evidence of validity based on the relationship with other variables.

Conclusion: The good psychometric properties of the MI, together with its brevity, make it a recommended instrument for the evaluation of interference in both clinical and research contexts.

适应不良量表在西班牙临床和学生样本中的心理计量特性。

背景：各种精神障碍的诊断和分类系统都强调有必要评估不同障碍对个人日常生活造成的干扰。适应不良量表（MI）通过六个项目，以简短和自我应用的方式评估个人功能受损情况。本研究的目的是通过两项研究，一项是针对西班牙临床样本的研究（研究 1），另一项是针对西班牙大学生样本的研究（研究 2），来探索适应不良量表评分的心理测量特性：总样本由 928 名参与者组成（81.1% 为女性，n = 495 个临床样本）。进行了描述性分析、内部结构和可靠性分析、探索性和确认性因素分析、与其他变量（生活质量、焦虑、抑郁、神经质和外向性）的关系分析、百分位数和 T 分数分析：结果表明，多元智能具有良好的心理测量特性，两个样本中的单因素解均具有良好的拟合模型，克朗巴赫α系数为 0.84-88，与其他变量的关系也证明了多元智能的有效性：结论：干扰测量法具有良好的心理测量特性，而且简明扼要，是临床和研究中评估干扰的推荐工具。
