Post-event processing (PEP) refers to negative rumination following anxiety-inducing social situations. The Post-Event Processing Inventory (PEPI; Blackie & Kocovski, 2017, Development and validation of the trait and state versions of the post-event processing inventory. Anxiety, Stress, & Coping, 30, 202-218.) consists of both trait and state forms. Although the psychometric properties of the PEPI have been very good in past research, the factor structure of the scale was examined with student samples only.
The primary purpose of the present study was to confirm the factor structure of the PEPI with a sample of individuals seeking self-help for social anxiety and shyness.
Individuals interested in receiving self-help (N = 155) completed a battery of questionnaires, including the trait and state forms of the PEPI.
On each version of the scale, we confirmed that a second-order factor (global PEP) could be inferred from three first-order factors (frequency, intensity, and self-judgment).
The hierarchical factor structure of the PEPI in the present study is consistent with previous research. The findings from the present study illustrate the utility of the PEPI amongst a community sample of individuals seeking self-help for social anxiety.
事件后加工（PEP）是指在引起焦虑的社交情境后进行的消极反刍。事件后加工量表（PEPI；Blackie & Kocovski，2017，特质和状态版本的发展和验证。焦虑、压力和应对，30，202-218）包括特质和状态两种形式。尽管过去的研究中 PEPI 的心理测量学特性非常好，但该量表的结构仅在学生样本中进行了检验。
本研究的主要目的是用寻求社交焦虑和害羞自助的个体样本验证 PEPI 的结构。
对有兴趣接受自助治疗的个体（N=155）完成了一整套问卷，包括 PEPI 的特质和状态形式。
在量表的每个版本上，我们都证实可以从三个一阶因素（频率、强度和自我判断）推断出二阶因素（总体 PEP）。
本研究中 PEPI 的层次因素结构与先前的研究一致。本研究的结果表明，PEPI 在寻求社交焦虑自助的社区样本中的有效性。
