The current study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of an attributional style measure that can be administered remotely, to people who have multiple sclerosis (MS).
A total of 495 participants with MS were recruited. Participants completed the Attributional Style Questionnaire-Survey (ASQ-S) and two comparison measures of cognitive variables postal survey on three occasions, each 12 months apart. Internal reliability, test-retest reliability and congruent validity were considered.
The internal reliability of the ASQ-S was good (α > 0.7). The test-retest correlations were significant, but failed to reach the 0.7 set. The congruent validity of the ASQ-S was established relative to the comparisons.
The psychometric properties of the ASQ-S indicate that it shows promise as a tool for researchers investigating depression in people with MS and is likely sound to use clinically in this population.
本研究旨在检验一种可远程施测的归因风格测量工具应用于多发性硬化症（MS）患者时的心理测量特性。
共招募了495名MS患者。参与者分三次完成归因风格问卷调查（ASQ-S）以及两项认知变量的比较测量——邮寄调查，每次间隔12个月。考量了内部信度、重测信度和同质性效度。
ASQ-S的内部信度良好（α>0.7）。重测相关性显著，但未达到设定的0.7。相对于比较测量，ASQ-S的同质性效度得以确立。
ASQ-S的心理测量特性表明，它有望成为研究MS患者抑郁症的研究人员的工具，并且在该人群的临床应用中可能是可靠的。
