Abstract

BACKGROUND The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) is a multidimensional instrument designed to capture emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It is one of the self-report measures of international use in clinical practice and research, although so far it has no validation in Spanish-Speaking adolescents. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the reliability and validity evidence (structure, convergent and criterion), and the temporal and gender invariance of the MHC-SF in Spanish adolescent population. METHOD Two assessment moments with a 6-month time interval were used, with an initial sample of 5,479 adolescents and a later sample of 2,129. RESULTS The CFA showed optimal fit for the bi-factor model, and an adequate fit for correlated three-factor model. The results of the gender and temporal invariance analysis showed optimal fit. Reliability coefficients were all higher than .77. The MHC-SF presented significant positive associations (p < .001) with indicators of well-being (r > .60) and negative associations with indicators of psychological distress (r > -.21). CONCLUSIONS The MHC-SF shows evidence of reliability and validity in Spanish adolescents, being the bi-factor model invariant through time and across gender groups.

心理健康连续体简表（MHC-SF）在西班牙青少年主观幸福感多维评估中的验证。

背景心理健康连续体简称（MHC-SF）是一种旨在捕捉情感、心理和社会幸福感的多维工具。这是国际上在临床实践和研究中使用的自我报告指标之一，尽管到目前为止，它还没有在讲西班牙语的青少年中得到验证。因此，本研究的目的是分析西班牙青少年人群MHC-SF的信度和有效性证据（结构、收敛性和标准），以及时间和性别不变性。方法采用两个时间间隔为6个月的评估时刻，最初的样本为5479名青少年，后来的样本为2129名。结果CFA对双因素模型表现出最佳拟合，对相关的三因素模型则表现出充分拟合。性别和时间不变性分析的结果显示出最佳拟合。可靠性系数均高于.77。MHC-SF与幸福感指标（r>.60）呈显著正相关（p<.001），与心理困扰指标（r>-.21）呈负相关。结论MHC-SF在西班牙青少年中显示出可靠性和有效性的证据，是随时间和性别群体变化的双因素模型。
