This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction Scale (LSDS) in a sample of African-American and Hispanic-American children. Participants were a non-clinical sample ( N = 186) of children ages 11 to 13 in the fifth and sixth grades in a school in the Metropolitan New York area. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed a two-factor model fits the sample data better than a one-factor model. Internal consistencies were acceptable across the two factors, and convergent validity of the LSDS was supported by a moderately positive relation with a self-report measure of depressive symptomatology. In a structural equation model, ethnicity, grade, and gender predicted little variance in each LSDS factor, suggesting little measure bias. These preliminary findings suggest that the LSDS is a psychometrically sound instrument for African-American and Hispanic-American children, yet future inspection of its factor structure in more diverse samples of children is warranted.
本研究调查了孤独与社会不满量表（LSDS）在非裔美国儿童和西班牙裔美国儿童样本中的心理测量特性。参与者是纽约大都会区一所学校五、六年级11至13岁儿童的非临床样本（N = 186）。验证性因素分析表明，两因素模型比单因素模型更适合样本数据。两个因素的内部一致性均可接受，且LSDS与抑郁症状自评量表呈中度正相关，支持了其收敛效度。在结构方程模型中，种族、年级和性别对每个LSDS因素的方差预测作用很小，表明测量偏差较小。这些初步研究结果表明，LSDS对于非裔美国儿童和西班牙裔美国儿童来说是一种心理测量学上可靠的工具，但未来有必要在更多样化的儿童样本中对其因素结构进行检验。
