Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: The present study examined the psychometric properties of a Greek adaptation of the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 (ASI-3; Taylor et al., 2007 ). Method: We translated the ASI-3 following a forward-backward method and then, in addition to measures of anxiety and depression (DASS-21; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995 ; Lyrakos et al., 2011 ), we administered it to a nonclinical general population sample ( N = 611) recruited online. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that a bifactor model with three orthogonal group factors best fit the data, followed by a correlated three-factor model. An examination of the dimensionality of the ASI-3 and the reliability of its dimensions suggested the presence of a reliable, strong AS general factor and comparatively weaker group factors. The ASI-3 appears to measure AS invariantly across gender. We report preliminary evidence for its convergent, discriminant, and divergent validity. Conclusion: The Greek adaption of the ASI-3 revealed adequate psychometric properties. Future studies should explore its criterion-related validity by administering the Greek adaptation of the ASI-3 to clinical samples and explore its relationship to other key constructs of anxiety sensitivity’s nomological network.
希腊的基本面担忧(一)
摘要:引言:本研究考察了希腊语改编的焦虑敏感指数-3(ASI-3;Taylor等人,2007年)的心理测量特性。方法:我们按照前向-后向方法翻译ASI-3,然后,除了焦虑和抑郁的测量(DAS-21;Lovibond&Lovibond,1995;Lyrakos等人,2011),我们还将其应用于在线招募的非临床普通人群样本(N=611)。结果:验证性因子分析表明,三个正交群因子的双因子模型最符合数据,其次是相关的三因子模型。对ASI-3的维度及其维度的可靠性的检查表明,存在一个可靠的、强的AS一般因素和相对较弱的群体因素。ASI-3似乎可以在不同性别之间不变地测量AS。我们报告了其收敛、判别和发散有效性的初步证据。结论:ASI-3在希腊语中的适应表现出足够的心理测量特性。未来的研究应该通过对临床样本进行ASI-3的希腊适应来探索其与标准相关的有效性,并探索其与焦虑敏感性的法理网络的其他关键结构的关系。
