We investigated cross-cultural differences in the factor structure and psychometric properties of the 75-item Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF). Participants were 833 South Korean and 271 Australian undergraduate students. The South Korean sample was randomly divided into two sub-samples. Sample A was used for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and sample B was used for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). EFA for the South Korean sample revealed a 13-factor solution to be the best fit for the data, and CFA on the data from sample B confirmed this result. CFA on the data from the Australian sample also revealed a 13-factor solution. The overall scale of the YSQ-SF demonstrated a high level of internal consistency in the South Korean and Australian groups. Furthermore, adequate internal consistencies for all subscales in the South Korean and Australian samples were demonstrated. In conclusion, the results showed that YSQ-SF with 13 factors has good psychometric properties and reliability for South Korean and Australian University students. Korean samples had significantly higher YSD scores on most of the 13 subscales than the Australian sample. However, limitations of the current study preclude the generalisability of the findings to beyond undergraduate student populations.
我们研究了75项青少年图式问卷简版（YSQ-SF）在因子结构和心理测量特性方面的跨文化差异。参与者为833名韩国本科生和271名澳大利亚本科生。韩国样本被随机分为两个子样本。样本A用于探索性因子分析（EFA），样本B用于验证性因子分析（CFA）。对韩国样本的EFA显示，13因子模型最适合该数据，对样本B数据的CFA证实了这一结果。对澳大利亚样本数据的CFA也显示出13因子模型。YSQ-SF的总体量表在韩国和澳大利亚组中表现出高度的内部一致性。此外，韩国和澳大利亚样本中所有子量表都显示出足够的内部一致性。总之，结果表明，13因子的YSQ-SF对韩国和澳大利亚大学生具有良好的心理测量特性和信度。在13个分量表中的大多数上，韩国样本的YSD得分显著高于澳大利亚样本。然而，本研究的局限性使得这些发现无法推广到本科生群体之外。
