Abstract

The 8-item Decisional Balance for sun protection inventory (SunDB) assesses the relative importance of the perceived advantages (Pros) and disadvantages (Cons) of sun protective behaviors. This study examined the psychometric properties of the SunDB measure, including invariance of the measurement model, in a population-based sample of N = 1336 adults. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the theoretically based 2-factor (Pros, Cons) model, with high internal consistencies for each subscale (α ≥ .70). Multiple-sample CFA established that this factor pattern was invariant across multiple population subgroups, including gender, racial identity, age, education level, and stage of change subgroups. Multivariate analysis by stage of change replicated expected patterns for SunDB (Pros η (2) = .15, Cons η (2) = .02). These results demonstrate the internal and external validity and measurement stability of the SunDB instrument in adults, supporting its use in research and intervention.

防晒产品库存决策平衡的有效性和稳定性。

防晒清单(SunDB)的8项决策平衡评估了防晒行为的感知优势(优点)和劣势(缺点)的相对重要性。本研究在以人口为基础的N = 1336名成年人样本中检验了SunDB测量的心理测量特性，包括测量模型的不变性。验证性因子分析支持基于理论的2因子(赞成，反对)模型，每个子量表具有较高的内部一致性(α≥0.70)。多样本CFA证实，该因素模式在包括性别、种族认同、年龄、教育水平和变化阶段在内的多个人口亚组中是不变的。变化阶段的多变量分析复制了SunDB的预期模式(赞成η(2) = .15，反对η(2) = .02)。这些结果证明了sunb仪器在成人中的内部和外部有效性和测量稳定性，支持其在研究和干预中的应用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
