Our research team of multilingual and multicultural members designed comprehensive, yet efficient, culture-informed, and self-rated Multicultural Quality of Life Indexes for both English-speaking individuals and for growing immigrant groups in the United States. A Korean version of the Multicultural Quality of Life Index (MQLI-Kr) was developed as part of this multilingual project. The team tested the MQLI-Kr on 130 Koreans (100 psychiatric patients and 30 professionals). MQLI-Kr was quite efficient and easy to use. The internal consistency attained a Cronbach's alpha of 0.97 for the combined sample. A factor analysis yielded one single factor, which accounted for 81.5% of the items' variance. The test-retest reliability correlation coefficient of the MQLI-Kr was 0.85. Significant differences in the mean MQLI-Kr scores were observed between the patients' group and the professionals' group (p < 0.001). Thus the results of this study showed high feasibility, internal consistency, reliability, and discriminant validity for the MQLI-Kr.
我们这个由多语言、多文化成员组成的研究团队，为美国讲英语的人群以及不断增加的移民群体，设计了全面且高效、考虑文化因素并可自我评估的多元文化生活质量指数。作为这个多语言项目的一部分，开发了韩语版的多元文化生活质量指数（MQLI-Kr）。该团队对130名韩国人（100名精神科患者和30名专业人员）进行了MQLI-Kr测试。MQLI-Kr非常高效且易于使用。合并样本的内部一致性达到了Cronbach's alpha系数为0.97。因子分析产生了一个单一因子，该因子解释了项目方差的81.5%。MQLI-Kr的重测信度相关系数为0.85。在患者组和专业人员组之间观察到MQLI-Kr平均得分存在显著差异（p < 0.001）。因此，本研究结果表明MQLI-Kr具有高度的可行性、内部一致性、信度和区分效度。
