The purpose of this study was to investigate the factor structure of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale in a community sample of Black single mothers and to evaluate the scale's construct validity.
Principal components and exploratory factor analysis were used. The participants responded to the CES-D scale and Spielberger's State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory.
The final sample consisted of 208 Black single mothers aged 18-45 years. A 2-factor structure was accepted. Construct validity was confirmed via significant correlations with the anger scales. A method artifact for the 2-factor solution was ruled out.
The CES-D scale is valid for use with Black single mothers. Additional psychometric evidence for the CES-D for Black single mothers is warranted.
本研究旨在调查黑人单身母亲社区样本中流行病学研究中心抑郁量表(CES-D)的因子结构,并评估该量表的结构效度。
采用主成分分析和探索性因子分析。参与者对CES-D量表和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质愤怒表达量表进行了作答。
最终样本包括208名年龄在18 - 45岁的黑人单身母亲。接受了一个双因子结构。通过与愤怒量表的显著相关性证实了结构效度。排除了双因子解决方案的方法假象。
CES-D量表适用于黑人单身母亲。有必要为黑人单身母亲提供更多关于CES-D的心理测量学证据。
