Stressful and traumatic events may trigger positive life changes, so-called adversarial growth. Despite growing interest in this topic, the structure and dimensionality of this concept has not been established. Recently, empirical reviews have suggested that the factors underlying this construct are highly related. Currently, the use of confirmatory factor analysis to test this hypothesis is advocated. Using data from cancer patients (n = 206), this study investigated the dimensionality of a Dutch translated version of the Silver Lining Questionnaire (SLQ-38). A 16-item SLQ (SLQ-16), with three subscales or first-order factors (enhanced personal relationships, changes in life philosophy and changes within the self) loading on a second-order general adversarial growth factor, was a good fitting model. In conclusion, the SLQ-16 may prove useful in the assessment of adversarial growth following illness.
压力和创伤性事件可能引发积极的生活变化，即所谓的逆境成长。尽管人们对这一话题越来越感兴趣，但这一概念的结构和维度尚未确定。最近，实证研究表明，这一结构背后的因素高度相关。目前，提倡使用验证性因子分析来检验这一假设。本研究使用癌症患者的数据（n=206），调查了荷兰语翻译版的逆境成长问卷（SLQ-38）的维度。一个由 16 个项目组成的 SLQ（SLQ-16），有三个子量表或一阶因子（增强的人际关系、生活哲学的改变和自我的改变）在二阶一般逆境成长因子上加载，是一个很好的拟合模型。总之，SLQ-16 可能有助于评估疾病后的逆境成长。
