This study was done to validate the Tamil version of Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS-TV) among a group of Indian participants in University Malaya.
Ninety-four people who took part in this study were given MSPSS-TV, Medical Outcome Study (MOS) social support survey, Malay version of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Malay version of General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and English version of MSPSS. After a week, these participants were again required to complete the MSPSS-TV, but with the item sequences shuffled.
Internal consistency of this scale was excellent (Cronbach's alpha = 0.924), and both test-retest reliability (0.71) and parallel form reliability (0.92) were high (Spearman's rho, P<0.01). MSPSS-TV was negatively correlated with GHQ and BDI.
The MSPSS-TV demonstrated sound psychometric properties in gauging the social support among a group of participants. It could therefore be used as a simple screening tool among the young educated Malaysians.
本研究旨在验证马来亚大学的一组印度参与者中泰米尔语版的领悟社会支持多维量表(MSPSS-TV)。
参与本研究的94人接受了MSPSS-TV、医学结局研究(MOS)社会支持调查、马来语版贝克抑郁量表(BDI)、马来语版一般健康问卷(GHQ)以及英文版MSPSS。一周后,这些参与者再次被要求完成MSPSS-TV,但题目顺序被打乱。
该量表的内部一致性极佳(克朗巴哈系数=0.924),重测信度(0.71)和平行效度(0.92)均很高(斯皮尔曼等级相关系数,P<0.01)。MSPSS-TV与GHQ和BDI呈负相关。
MSPSS-TV在评估一组参与者的社会支持方面表现出良好的心理测量特性。因此,它可以作为受过教育的马来西亚年轻人的一种简单筛查工具。
