Abstract

This research comprises three studies centered on the development and validation of a self-report measure of psychological closure and resolution, the Closure and Resolution Scale (CRS). Study 1 used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in two samples to probe the factor structure for closure using original (Study 1a N = 284) and revised (Study 1b N = 158) item pools. Study 2 (N = 159) examined model fit using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and revealed a good-fitting simple structural solution. The CRS consists of 34 items assessing six facets of event resolution: (1) finality, (2) understanding, (3) felt distance, (4) emotional relief, (5) mental release, and (6) behavioural deactivation. Study 3 (N = 182) examined convergent and discriminant validity for the CRS and provided evidence of construct validity. Participants resided in North America and primarily identified as White (68.7%-77.5%), male (44.3%-59.3%) or female (40.1%-55.7%), with post-secondary education (69.3%-71.7%). We offer a novel measure of psychological closure and resolution with preliminary evidence of good psychometric properties.

开发并验证 "关闭与解决量表"（CRS）。

本研究由三项研究组成，其核心是开发和验证心理闭合与排解的自我报告量表--闭合与排解量表（CRS）。研究 1 在两个样本中使用探索性因子分析（EFA），通过原始项目库（研究 1a N = 284）和修订项目库（研究 1b N = 158）探究封闭性的因子结构。研究 2（N = 159）使用确证因子分析（CFA）检验了模型的拟合度，并发现了一个拟合度良好的简单结构解。CRS 由 34 个项目组成，评估事件解决的六个方面：(1) 终结；(2) 理解；(3) 感觉距离；(4) 情绪缓解；(5) 精神释放；(6) 行为失活。研究 3（N = 182）检验了 CRS 的收敛有效性和判别有效性，并提供了构建有效性的证据。参与者居住在北美，主要身份为白人（68.7%-77.5%）、男性（44.3%-59.3%）或女性（40.1%-55.7%），受过高等教育（69.3%-71.7%）。我们提供了一种新的心理闭合和解决方法，初步证明具有良好的心理测量特性。

期刊介绍： Memory publishes high quality papers in all areas of memory research. This includes experimental studies of memory (including laboratory-based research, everyday memory studies, and applied memory research), developmental, educational, neuropsychological, clinical and social research on memory. By representing all significant areas of memory research, the journal cuts across the traditional distinctions of psychological research. Memory therefore provides a unique venue for memory researchers to communicate their findings and ideas both to peers within their own research tradition in the study of memory, and also to the wider range of research communities with direct interest in human memory.
