The main purpose of the current study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Hypomanic Personality Scale (HPS) in Iranian adolescents.
A number of 805 high school and freshman students answered the HPS, the Hypomania scale of the MMPI-2, the Borderline Traits Questionnaire (STB) and the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief. Data were analysed using explanatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient as well as independent t-test.
Principal component analysis led to the extraction of two factors namely mood volatility/excitement and social vitality. Convergent validity coefficients were equal to 0.71, 0.57 and 0.74 for the total scale, mood volatility/excitement and social vitality subscales respectively. Test-retest reliability of the total scale and its subscales were equal to 0.61, 0.67 and 0.57 respectively. Internal consistency and the split-half reliability of the total scale and the two subscales showed the same coefficients. The results showed that the female group gained higher scores on the total scale and the social vitality subscale.
The results supported the multi-dimensional structure and psychometric properties of the HPS among Iranian adolescents.

本研究的主要目的是检验伊朗青少年躁狂人格量表（HPS）的心理测量特性。
共有 805 名高中生和大一学生回答了 HPS、MMPI-2 的躁狂量表、边界特质问卷（STB）和简短的精神分裂症人格问卷。使用解释性因素分析、皮尔逊相关系数和独立 t 检验对数据进行分析。
主成分分析得出了两个因子，即情绪波动/兴奋和社会活力。总量表、情绪波动/兴奋和社会活力分量表的收敛效度系数分别为 0.71、0.57 和 0.74。总量表及其分量表的重测信度分别为 0.61、0.67 和 0.57。总量表和两个分量表的内部一致性和半分信度显示出相同的系数。结果表明，女性组在总量表和社会活力分量表上的得分较高。
结果支持了 HPS 在伊朗青少年中的多维结构和心理测量特性。
本研究的结果证实了 HPS 可作为一种有效的量表，用于调查伊朗青少年的轻度躁狂特征。© 2018 约翰威立父子公司
