Abstract

Purpose This study evaluated six abbreviated versions of the DASS-21 in adult male survivors of sexual abuse to identify valid, reliable, and efficient tools for trauma-informed assessment. Method Secondary data from 534 male survivors were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis to assess model fit, reliability, and construct validity. Results All forms showed acceptable reliability ( α ≥ .70). After modification, all models fit the data well. The two-factor DASS-10 was statistically superior (CFI = .996, RMSEA = .025, nonsignificant χ ²). The three-factor DASS-12a also demonstrated excellent fit (CFI = .987, RMSEA = .040) and met all convergent validity criteria (all AVEs ≥ .50). Discriminant validity between anxiety and stress was not supported. Discussion The DASS-12a is the most sound three-factor option, while the D-10 offers a more robust, two-factor measure of general distress ideal for rapid screening. Generalizability is limited.

男性幸存者6种das -21短表的心理测量评估

目的：本研究评估了成年男性性虐待幸存者的6种简化版DASS-21，以确定有效、可靠和有效的创伤知情评估工具。方法采用验证性因子分析对534例男性幸存者的辅助资料进行分析，评估模型的拟合、信度和结构效度。结果所有表格均具有可接受的信度（α≥0.70）。修正后的模型与数据拟合良好。双因素DASS-10具有统计学优势（CFI = 0.996, RMSEA = 0.025， χ²无统计学意义）。三因子DASS-12a也表现出极好的拟合（CFI = .987, RMSEA = .040），满足所有收敛效度标准（所有ae≥.50）。焦虑和压力之间的区别效度不被支持。DASS-12a是最可靠的三因素选择，而D-10提供了一个更强大的双因素测量一般遇险的理想快速筛选。概括性是有限的。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
