The Need for Cognition Scale-Short Form (NCS-SF; J. T. Cacioppo, R. E. Petty, & C. F. Kao, 1984) is a commonly administered measure in the behavioral sciences, but little research has assessed its applicability across cultures. A sample of undergraduates in the southeastern United States and a sample of undergraduates at a southwestern U.S. university completed the NCS-SE Hispanic respondents did not differ from Anglos in their mean NCS-SF scores. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that factor parameter estimates and item intercepts were partially measurement invariant across samples.
认知需求量表简版(NCS - SF;J. T. 卡乔波、R. E. 佩蒂和C. F. 高,1984)是行为科学中常用的测量工具,但很少有研究评估其在不同文化中的适用性。美国东南部的一组本科生样本和美国西南部一所大学的本科生样本完成了NCS - SF测试。西班牙裔受访者的NCS - SF平均得分与盎格鲁人没有差异。验证性因素分析表明,因素参数估计值和项目截距在不同样本间部分具有测量不变性。
