摘要

目的本研究的目的是评估短期灵活阴谋怀疑量表(FICS)问卷的单维性和某些度量质量。资料与方法于2021年5月/ 6月和10月进行了两次在线调查,分别对居住在魁北克省的11,321名和10,368名成年人进行了抽样调查。在这两种情况下,FICS的简写形式都被用来衡量有关COVID-19和气候变化的阴谋怀疑。探索性因子分析验证了单维结构的存在。此外,还利用其他指标来评估单维性,即同余系数和解释共同方差。使用标准化alpha和omega系数估计序数得分的可靠性。结果探索性因子分析结果显示,使用短格式FICS收集的COVID-19和气候变化阴谋怀疑调查数据存在单维结构。同余系数和解释共方差的值也表明存在单维性。序数分数的信度极佳。这两个调查的结果是相似的。总体而言,结果支持使用短格式FICS的COVID-19版本和气候变化版本收集的调查数据中存在一维结构,这表明总分可用于量化怀疑程度。此外,两个抽样期间的调查结果的一致性为使用这些量表的相关性提供了额外的可信度。结论本研究结果强调了短格式FICS在评估魁北克成人阴谋怀疑中的效用。

Évaluation factorielle de la version courte de l’Inventaire Flexible de Soupçons Conspirationnistes parmi la population québécoise

Objectives

The objective of this study was to evaluate the unidimensionality and certain metric qualities of the short-form Flexible Inventory of Conspiracy Suspicions (FICS) questionnaire administered to the adult population of Quebec.

Materials and methods

Two online surveys were carried out in May/June and October 2021 and sampled 11,321 and 10,368 adults residing in the province of Quebec, respectively. In both cases, the short-form of the FICS was used to measure conspiracy suspicions regarding COVID-19 and climate change. Exploratory factor analysis was employed to verify the presence of unidimensional structure. Other indices were also utilized to assess unidimensionality, namely the congruence coefficient and explained common variance. The reliability of the ordinal scores was estimated using standardized alpha and omega coefficients.

Results

The results of the exploratory factor analysis revealed the presence of a unidimensional structure for the survey data on COVID-19 and climate change conspiracy suspicions collected using the short-form FICS. The values of the congruence coefficient and explained common variance also suggested the presence of unidimensionality. The reliability of the ordinal scores was excellent. These results were similar for the two surveys.

Discussion

Overall, the results supported the presence of unidimensional structure in the survey data collected using the COVID-19 version and the climate change version of the short-form FICS, suggesting that the total score can be used to quantify suspicion levels. In addition, the consistency of the findings over the two sampling periods provided additional credibility regarding the relevance of using these scales.

Conclusion

The findings highlight the utility of the short-form FICS for assessing conspiracy suspicions among the adult population of Quebec.

期刊介绍: Une revue de référence pour le praticien, le chercheur et le étudiant en sciences humaines Cahiers de psychologie clinique et de psychopathologie générale fondés en 1925, Évolution psychiatrique est restée fidèle à sa mission de ouverture de la psychiatrie à tous les courants de pensée scientifique et philosophique, la recherche clinique et les réflexions critiques dans son champ comme dans les domaines connexes. Attentive à histoire de la psychiatrie autant aux dernières avancées de la recherche en biologie, en psychanalyse et en sciences sociales, la revue constitue un outil de information et une source de référence pour les praticiens, les chercheurs et les étudiants.
