OBJECTIVE
The generalizability of the alexithymia construct to North American aboriginal culture was examined by assessing the replicability of the factor structure of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) in two different adult samples. The study also assessed the reliability of the scale and the influence of gender, age, and education on alexithymia levels.
METHOD
The first sample was a community-based group of 123 aboriginal men and women; the second sample was 102 male aboriginal offenders. Both samples completed the TAS-20.
RESULTS
The replicability of the three-factor structure for the TAS-20 was supported in both groups using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The TAS-20 and its three factors demonstrated adequate internal reliability, and the variables of gender, age, and education accounted for small or nonsignificant amounts of variability in total TAS-20 and factor scale scores.
CONCLUSION
The results provide additional support for the factorial validity of the TAS-20 in diverse cultural groups.
目的
通过评估20项多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS - 20）的因子结构在两个不同成人样本中的可重复性，检验述情障碍结构在北美原住民文化中的普遍性。该研究还评估了量表的信度以及性别、年龄和教育程度对述情障碍水平的影响。
方法
第一个样本是由123名原住民男女组成的社区群体；第二个样本是102名原住民男性罪犯。两个样本均完成了TAS - 20量表测试。
结果
使用验证性因子分析（CFA）在两组中均支持了TAS - 20三因子结构的可重复性。TAS - 20及其三个因子显示出足够的内部信度，并且性别、年龄和教育程度变量在TAS - 20总分和因子量表得分中占的变异性很小或不显著。
结论
研究结果为TAS - 20在不同文化群体中的因子效度提供了更多支持。
