Abstract

Maladaptive risk attitudes, such as extreme risk seeking and risk aversion, are closely linked to psychopathology such as psychopathy and anxiety. Having culturally appropriate assessments of risk attitudes is essential for the research of psychology and psychopathology of responses to risk in a target population. We aimed to develop and validate the multi-domain risk tolerance (MDRT) scale for the multi-ethnic Singaporean population. Initial items were constructed from revising the item pool used in the previous study via interviews with Singaporean community-dwelling adults (N = 31). The candidate items of the MDRT were then tested and selected via a subsequent survey study (N = 882). A second longitudinal study (N = 1003) with two time-point measurements was conducted to validate the MDRT scale. The results suggested that the scale had satisfactory structural validity, criterion validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. The MDRT scale also demonstrated scalar measurement invariance across genders and age groups. The results further highlighted the importance of cultural adaptation of measures in risk attitudes and continuing improvement of assessment and understanding of risk attitudes across populations.

新加坡亚洲多种族人口多领域风险态度量表的开发与验证。
适应不良的风险态度,如极端风险寻求和风险厌恶,与精神病和焦虑等精神病理密切相关。对风险态度进行文化上适当的评估,对于目标人群对风险反应的心理学和精神病理学研究至关重要。我们的目的是开发和验证新加坡多民族人口的多域风险承受能力(MDRT)量表。初始项目是通过对新加坡社区居住成年人(N = 31)的访谈,修改先前研究中使用的项目库来构建的。然后通过随后的调查研究对MDRT的候选项目进行测试和选择(N = 882)。第二项纵向研究(N = 1003)采用两个时间点测量来验证MDRT量表。结果表明,量表具有良好的结构效度、效标效度、内部一致性和重测信度。MDRT量表也显示了不同性别和年龄组的标量测量不变性。研究结果进一步强调了风险态度措施的文化适应性以及持续改进对人群风险态度的评估和理解的重要性。

期刊介绍: Assessment publishes articles in the domain of applied clinical assessment. The emphasis of this journal is on publication of information of relevance to the use of assessment measures, including test development, validation, and interpretation practices. The scope of the journal includes research that can inform assessment practices in mental health, forensic, medical, and other applied settings. Papers that focus on the assessment of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning, personality, and psychopathology are invited. Most papers published in Assessment report the results of original empirical research, however integrative review articles and scholarly case studies will also be considered.
