The purpose of our research was to examine the validity of score interpretations of an instrument developed to measure parents' perceptions of stigma about seeking mental health services for their children. The validity of the score interpretations of the instrument was tested in 2 studies. Study 1 employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), using a split half approach, and construct and criterion validity on data from the entire sample of parents in rural Appalachia whose children were experiencing psychosocial concerns (N = 347), while Study 2 employed CFA, construct and criterion validity, and predictive validity of the scores on data from a general sample of parents in rural Appalachia (N = 184). Results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed support for a 2-factor model of parents' perceived stigma, which represented both self and public forms of stigma associated with seeking mental health services for their children, and correlated with existing measures of stigma and other psychosocial variables. Further, the new self and public stigma scale significantly predicted parents' willingness to seek services for children.
我们研究的目的是检验一种用于测量父母对为子女寻求心理健康服务的耻辱感认知的工具得分解释的有效性。该工具得分解释的有效性在两项研究中进行了测试。研究1采用验证性因素分析（CFA），使用折半法，并对来自阿巴拉契亚农村地区所有子女存在心理社会问题的父母样本（N = 347）的数据进行结构效度和效标效度检验，而研究2对来自阿巴拉契亚农村地区普通父母样本（N = 184）的数据采用CFA、结构效度、效标效度以及得分的预测效度检验。探索性和验证性因素分析结果表明，支持父母感知耻辱感的双因素模型，该模型代表了与为子女寻求心理健康服务相关的自我耻辱感和公众耻辱感两种形式，并与现有的耻辱感测量指标及其他心理社会变量相关。此外，新的自我耻辱感和公众耻辱感量表显著预测了父母为子女寻求服务的意愿。
