We evaluated the construct validity of the Separation-Individuation Test of Adolescence (SITA; Levine, Green, & Millon, 1986). Based on a review of the theoretical literature on separation-individuation issues during late adolescence, predictions were made as to how SITA scores would correlate with aspects of family functioning and psychological adjustment. The SITA and a battery of self-report family and adjustment measures were administered to 454 college students (272 females and 182 males; 74% White, 16% African American, and 10% Asian American or Hispanic). Correlational analyses offered partial support for the construct validity of the SITA. Cluster analyses revealed four distinct groups of subjects (anxious deniers, healthy separators, peaceful detachers, and succorance seekers), each with its own coherent set of scores on the SITA and instruments measuring family relations and positive and negative psychological adjustment. Criticisms concerning the labels and composition of the SITA scales are also discussed.
我们评估了青少年分离个体化测试（SITA；莱文、格林和米隆，1986年）的结构效度。基于对青春期后期分离个体化问题的理论文献回顾，我们预测了SITA分数与家庭功能和心理调适各方面的相关性。对454名大学生（272名女性和182名男性；74%为白人，16%为非裔美国人，10%为亚裔美国人或西班牙裔）施测了SITA以及一系列自我报告的家庭和调适测量工具。相关分析为SITA的结构效度提供了部分支持。聚类分析揭示了四组不同的受试者（焦虑否认者、健康分离者、平和超脱者和寻求救助者），每组在SITA以及测量家庭关系和正负性心理调适的工具上都有一套连贯的分数。同时也讨论了对SITA量表标签和构成的批评。
