Abstract

Background: In recent years, particular emphasis has been placed on the role of mental imagery in psychopathologies. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Spontaneous Use of Imagery Scale (SUIS-P) in the general Iranian population. Methods: The current psychometric study was carried out on 474 Iranian individuals in 2020 through convenience sampling. The SUIS, Ambiguous Scenarios Test relevant to Depressed Mood (AST-D), and Beck Depression Inventory-second edition (BDI-II) were filled out by the study subjects. Moreover, for the determination of divergent validity between the SUIS and BDI-II, the Pearson correlation was also used. Data analysis was performed by SPSS Software (version 24). Results: The internal consistency of the total score of the SUIS was acceptable (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.75). The significant positive relationship between the SUIS and AST-D (r = 0.34; P < 0.01) showed good convergent validity. No significant correlation was observed between the SUIS and BDI-II. Factor analysis using the principal component analysis with a varimax rotation introduced four factors. The four factors explained 0.55 of the total variance. Regarding construct validity, the inter-item correlation and item-total correlations of the SUIS-P were in an acceptable range. Conclusions: Based on the results, the SUIS has excellent psychometric properties in the Iranian population and can be used in research and therapeutic interventions.

伊朗人口波斯语版自发使用意象量表的心理测量学评价

背景:近年来，特别强调的是心理意象在精神病理学中的作用。目的:本研究旨在调查伊朗普通人群波斯语版自然意象使用量表(SUIS-P)的心理测量特性。方法:采用方便抽样的方法，于2020年对474名伊朗人进行心理测量学研究。研究对象分别填写抑郁情绪模糊情景测验(SUIS)、抑郁情绪模糊情景测验(AST-D)和贝克抑郁量表第二版(BDI-II)。此外，为了确定SUIS和BDI-II之间的分歧效度，还使用了Pearson相关。采用SPSS软件(version 24)进行数据分析。结果:SUIS总分内部一致性可接受(Cronbach’s alpha = 0.75)。SUIS与AST-D呈显著正相关(r = 0.34;P < 0.01)具有良好的收敛效度。SUIS与BDI-II之间无显著相关性。因子分析采用主成分分析，引入了四个因子。这四个因素解释了总方差的0.55。在构念效度方面，量表的项目间相关和项目总体相关均在可接受的范围内。结论:基于结果，SUIS在伊朗人群中具有良好的心理测量特性，可用于研究和治疗干预。
