Dispositional cancer worry (DCW) is the uncontrollable tendency to dwell on cancer independent of relevant stimuli (e.g., diagnosis of the disease). Past research has suggested that DCW has two underlying dimensions: severity and frequency. Available measures of DCW severity and frequency were translated and validated in two countries: China and Belgium. Participants (N = 623) completed translated scales, as well as measures of general dispositional worry, cancer fear, and perceived risk. In both locations, DCW measures were reliable (Cronbach's alphas ranged from .78 - .93) and demonstrated strong convergent, divergent, and concurrent validity. Severity and frequency factors loaded as expected in exploratory factor analysis. Future research should pursue longitudinal tests of DCW's predictive validity and explore DCW in theoretical models predicting the relationship between worry and cancer prevention and early detection behaviors.
性格癌症忧虑（DCW）是一种不可控的倾向，即独立于相关刺激（例如，疾病的诊断）而关注癌症。过去的研究表明，DCW 有两个潜在的维度：严重程度和频率。DCW 严重程度和频率的现有测量方法已在两个国家（中国和比利时）进行了翻译和验证。参与者（N=623）完成了翻译后的量表，以及一般性格忧虑、癌症恐惧和感知风险的测量。在两个地点，DCW 测量方法均可靠（克伦巴赫的阿尔法值范围从.78 -.93），具有较强的收敛、发散和同时效度。探索性因素分析中，严重程度和频率因素按预期加载。未来的研究应该对 DCW 的预测有效性进行纵向测试，并在预测担忧与癌症预防和早期检测行为之间关系的理论模型中探索 DCW。
