Abstract

Aim: A recent mental health in sport consensus statement advocates Keyes’ two continua model with an associated Mental Health Continuum (MHC) instrument to assess mental health in athletes. However, there remains statistically inconsistent usage of the MHC in athletes, so further exploration of the MHC’s psychometric factors is required. Methods: Athletes (N = 1,097) aged 32.63 (SD = 11.16) comprising 603 females (55.7%) and 478 males (44.3%), completed the 14-item MHC-Short Form, alongside validated measures of anxiety and depression. Five confirmatory factor analytic and bifactor models were developed based on extant research and theory. Results: Overall, a bifactor structure with a “general” positive mental health factor, and three specific factors (“hedonic well-being,” “social well-being,” and “psychological well-being”) fitted the data well and was deemed the superior model. Conclusion: A bifactor model of the MHC-Short Form is recommended comprising a composite score alongside specific factors of hedonic, social, and psychological well-being.

运动员心理健康连续-短形式的心理测量评估:双因素建模方法

目的:最近的一项运动心理健康共识声明提倡Keyes的双连续体模型和相关的心理健康连续体(MHC)工具来评估运动员的心理健康。然而，运动员MHC的使用在统计上仍然不一致，因此需要进一步探索MHC的心理测量因素。方法:运动员(N = 1,097)，年龄32.63岁(SD = 11.16)，其中女性603人(55.7%)，男性478人(44.3%)，完成14项mhc短表，同时进行焦虑和抑郁测量。在现有研究和理论的基础上，建立了五种验证性因子分析和双因子模型。结果:总体而言，具有“一般”积极心理健康因素和“享乐幸福”、“社会幸福”和“心理幸福”三个特定因素的双因素结构与数据拟合良好，被认为是优越的模型。结论:推荐mhc短表的双因素模型，包括快乐、社会和心理健康等特定因素的综合评分。
