摘要

疫苗阴谋信念量表(VCBS)是一种广泛使用的衡量疫苗阴谋信念的方法,但其有效性和测量不变性的证据,尤其是在青年样本中,仍然在很大程度上缺失。本研究检验了VCBS评分的因子结构、测量不变性、收敛和判别有效性以及增量预测有效性。该研究招募了803名塞尔维亚青年(年龄在15-24岁之间;59.2%为女性)作为样本。支持了VCBS的修正单因子模型,并显示了跨性别、年龄、疫苗接种状态和新冠肺炎个人病史的完全标量不变性的证据。通过检查与一般阴谋信念、疫苗接种态度、疫苗接种知识、接种新冠肺炎疫苗的意图、妄想症担忧、对注射和抽血的恐惧、对上帝的重要性、自我评定的健康和自我评定的家庭财务状况的关联,获得了VCBS得分收敛和判别有效性的证据。VCBS评分预测了接种新冠肺炎疫苗的意愿的独特差异,超过了疫苗接种态度和疫苗接种知识。研究结果表明,VCBS是衡量青年疫苗阴谋信念的有效指标。

Vaccine Conspiracy Beliefs Scale: Validation and Measurement Invariance in a Youth Sample.

The Vaccine Conspiracy Beliefs Scale (VCBS) is a widely used measure of conspiracy beliefs about vaccines, but evidence of its validity and measurement invariance, especially in youth samples, is still largely missing. The present study examined VCBS scores' factor structure, measurement invariance, convergent and discriminant validity, and incremental predictive validity. A sample of 803 Serbian youths (age range 15-24; 59.2% females) was recruited for the study. A modified single-factor model of the VCBS was supported, and showed evidence of full scalar invariance across gender, age, vaccination status, and personal history of COVID-19. Evidence of the VCBS scores' convergent and discriminant validity was obtained by examining associations with general conspiracy beliefs, vaccination attitudes, vaccination knowledge, intentions to get vaccinated against COVID-19, paranoia worries, fear of injections and blood draws, importance of God, self-rated health, and self-rated family's financial situation. The VCBS scores predicted a unique variance in the intention to get vaccinated against COVID-19, over and above vaccination attitudes and vaccination knowledge. The results suggest that the VCBS is a valid measure of vaccine conspiracy beliefs in youth.
