Abstract

Objective: This study is the first to analyze the factor structure of the Center for Epistemological Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale with custodial grandmothers involving both cross validation and convergent validity analyses.

Method: Cross validation was accomplished with two different samples of custodial grandmothers (GCM) to calibrate (n=733; Average Age=52) and then validate (n=343; Average Age=52.5) the model.

Results: Radloff's originally proposed four factor model (Depressed Affect, Well-Being, Somatic Symptoms, and Interpersonal Problems) was found to best fit the data for both calibration (RMSEA=0.049) and validation samples (RMSEA=0.050). The construct validity of the four CES-D factors was supported by the correlations observed between these factors and conceptually related psychosocial measures.

Conclusion: four CES-D factors as proposed are psychometrically sound when applied to custodial grandmothers and that each factor contributes unique and meaningful information in its own right.

对监护人祖母使用 CES-D：交叉验证和收敛有效性。

研究目的本研究首次在监护祖母中分析认识论研究中心抑郁（CES-D）量表的因子结构，包括交叉验证和收敛效度分析：交叉验证由两个不同的监护祖母（GCM）样本完成，以校准（n=733；平均年龄=52）模型，然后验证（n=343；平均年龄=52.5）模型：在校准样本（RMSEA=0.049）和验证样本（RMSEA=0.050）中，Radloff 最初提出的四因素模型（抑郁情绪、幸福感、躯体症状和人际关系问题）被认为最适合数据。结论：所提出的四个 CES-D 因子在应用于监护祖母时在心理计量学上是合理的，而且每个因子都能提供独特而有意义的信息。
