The widespread use of Mattick and Clarke's (1998) Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) and Social Phobia Scale (SPS) led 2 independent groups of researchers to develop short forms of these measures (Fergus, Valentiner, McGrath, Gier-Lonsway, & Kim, 2012; Peters, Sunderland, Andrews, Rapee, & Mattick, 2012). This 3-part study examined the psychometric properties of Fergus et al.'s and Peters et al.'s short forms of the SIAS and SPS using an American nonclinical adolescent sample in Study 1 (N = 98), American patient sample with an anxiety disorder in Study 2 (N = 117), and both a South Korean college student sample (N = 341) and an American college student sample (N = 550) in Study 3. Scores on both sets of short forms evidenced adequate internal consistency, interitem correlations, and measurement invariance. Scores on Fergus et al.'s short forms, particularly their SIAS short form, tended to capture more unique variance in scores of criterion measures than did scores on Peters et al.'s short forms. Implications for the use of these 2 sets of short forms are discussed.
马蒂克和克拉克(1998)的社交互动焦虑量表(SIAS)和社交恐惧症量表(SPS)被广泛使用,这促使两组独立的研究人员开发了这些量表的简短版本(弗格斯、瓦伦蒂纳、麦格拉思、吉尔 - 朗斯韦和金,2012;彼得斯、桑德兰、安德鲁斯、拉佩和马蒂克,2012)。这项由三部分组成的研究,在研究1中使用美国非临床青少年样本(N = 98)、研究2中使用患有焦虑症的美国患者样本(N = 117)以及研究3中使用韩国大学生样本(N = 341)和美国大学生样本(N = 550),检验了弗格斯等人和彼得斯等人开发的SIAS和SPS简短版本的心理测量特性。两组简短版本的得分都显示出足够的内部一致性、项目间相关性和测量不变性。与彼得斯等人的简短版本得分相比,弗格斯等人的简短版本得分,尤其是他们的SIAS简短版本得分,往往能在效标测量得分中捕捉到更多独特的方差。文中讨论了使用这两组简短版本的意义。
