We examined the factor structure of the Neuroticism scale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-R-N; S. B. G. Eysenck, Eysenck & Barrett, 1985) and its factor invariance across sex and racial/ethnic groups in a sample of 1,979 adolescents. Using confirmatory factor analyses, we compared a hierarchical model to previous models of the EPQ-R-N and to single-factor and 3-factor structures. The hierarchical factor structure in which a general factor coexists with 3 group factors (depression, social concerns, and worry) was superior to alternative models. The general factor accounted for more than 60% of the variance in EPQ-R-N total scores and was invariant across sex and ethnicity. The 3 group factors varied across ethnicity and sex. We discuss the implications of these findings for conceptualization and assessment of neuroticism using the EPQ-R-N.
我们在1979名青少年样本中，研究了艾森克人格问卷神经质分量表（EPQ-R-N；S.B.G.艾森克、艾森克和巴雷特，1985）的因子结构及其在性别和种族/民族群体间的因子不变性。通过验证性因子分析，我们将一个层次模型与EPQ-R-N之前的模型、单因子结构和三因子结构进行了比较。一个一般因子与三个组因子（抑郁、社交关注和担忧）共存的层次因子结构优于其他模型。一般因子解释了EPQ-R-N总分中超过60%的方差，且在性别和种族上具有不变性。三个组因子在种族和性别上存在差异。我们讨论了这些发现对于使用EPQ-R-N对神经质进行概念化和评估的意义。
