The Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) is a measure of worry phenomena and has been demonstrated valid in cross-cultural populations. The present study examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Chinese version of PSWQ (Ch-PSWQ) in a Chinese college sample (n=1243). Exploratory factor analysis of the Ch-PSWQ revealed a two-factor solution (engagement of worry and absence of worry). Confirmatory factor analysis and model comparison supported that the model of one factor with method effect provided the best fit to the data. The Ch-PSWQ and its factors evidenced good internal consistency and both convergent and discriminate validity. The present study supports the opinion that the second factor of PSWQ not only contains the component of evaluating pathological worry, but also might represent other traits.
宾夕法尼亚州立大学忧虑问卷(PSWQ)是一种衡量忧虑现象的工具,已在跨文化人群中证明有效。本研究在中国大学生样本(n = 1243)中检验了中文版PSWQ(Ch - PSWQ)的因子结构和心理测量特性。对Ch - PSWQ进行探索性因子分析,得出了一个双因子解决方案(忧虑的参与度和无忧虑)。验证性因子分析和模型比较支持了具有方法效应的单因子模型对数据的拟合最佳。Ch - PSWQ及其因子具有良好的内部一致性以及收敛效度和区分效度。本研究支持这样一种观点,即PSWQ的第二个因子不仅包含评估病理性忧虑的成分,还可能代表其他特质。
