Abstract

ABSTRACT A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to assess the factor structure of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL–5) in a non-Western sample (N = 444) of former refugees and internally displaced persons (317 men, 128 women) who had experienced a 10-year civil war in Liberia. The 7-factor hybrid model demonstrated superior fit to the sample when compared to internal structures represented by 4- and 6-factor models depicting posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. Implications for counseling outcome research are provided.

战争相关平民创伤后应激障碍症状模型的因素结构评估

摘要:本研究采用验证性因子分析(CFA)对经历了10年利比里亚内战的前难民和国内流离失所者(317名男性，128名女性)的非西方样本(N = 444)进行创伤后应激障碍量表(PCL-5)的因子结构评估。与描述创伤后应激障碍症状的4因素和6因素模型所代表的内部结构相比，7因素混合模型显示出对样本的优越拟合。提供了对咨询结果研究的启示。
