Abstract

Background and Aims: Mentalized affectivity is a new approach that expresses the process of emotion regulation through a dynamic perspective. Since social-cognitive variables and cultural context play a major role in the process of mentalized affectivity, the present study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Mentalized Affectivity Scale in Iran. Materials and Methods: A total of 447 students were selected via the convenience sampling method. The Persian version of Mentalized Affectivity Scale was administered simultaneously with other scales. exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses was used to evaluate the validity of the scale. Moreover, convergent validity and divergent validity of this scale were assessed with other scales. The reliability of the scale was calculated by Cronbach's alpha, coefficient theta, and composite reliability. Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis showed four factors of emotion recognition, emotion processing, emotion tracing, and emotion expression. The significant correlation of factors with the used scales pointed to the content validity and divergent validity of the scale. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire scale was 0.93. The composite reliability of the factors was in the range of 0.82-0.89, and the coefficient theta of the scale was reported as 0.98. With respect to average variance extracted (AVE) greater than 0.5 and composite reliability greater than 0.8, the convergent validity of the factors was confirmed. Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, the Persian version of the Mentalized Affectivity Scale is a valid scale in the field of emotion regulation and social cognition that can be used for Iranian populations. The factor structure includes four factors.
波斯语版心理情感量表的心理测量特征和因素结构
背景与目的:心理情感是一种通过动态视角来表达情绪调节过程的新方法。鉴于社会认知变量和文化背景在心理情感的形成过程中起着重要作用,本研究旨在评估伊朗心理情感量表的心理测量特征。资料与方法:采用方便抽样法,共抽取447名学生。波斯语版本的心理情感量表与其他量表同时进行。采用探索性和验证性因素分析来评估量表的有效性。并将该量表的收敛效度和发散效度与其他量表进行比较。量表的信度采用Cronbach’s alpha、系数θ和复合信度计算。结果:探索性因素分析结果显示情绪识别、情绪加工、情绪追踪和情绪表达四个因素。各因素与所用量表的显著相关表明量表的内容效度和发散效度存在显著差异。整个量表的Cronbach's alpha系数为0.93。各因子的复合信度在0.82-0.89之间,量表的系数theta报0.98。当平均方差提取(AVE)大于0.5,复合信度大于0.8时,证实了因子的收敛效度。结论:波斯语版心理情感量表在情绪调节和社会认知领域是一份有效的量表,可用于伊朗人群。要素结构包括四个要素。
