Studies on hyperarousal have increasingly developed in the last decade. Nevertheless, there are still very few valid measures of hyperarousal. The aim of the study is to verify the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Hyperarousal Scale (H-Scale), in order to provide researchers with a valid measure for the target population.
The questionnaire was translated, back-translated, pre-tested, and cross-culturally adapted. Subsequently, the Italian version of the H-Scale, the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI-3) and the Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) were administered to 982 adults, 456 males and 526 females, aged from 18 to 80 years (M = 35.61 ± 12.47).
Cronbach's alpha of the translated H-Scale was 0.81. Furthermore, positive correlations with the ASI-3 and negative correlations with the SF-36 emerged. The H-Scale is also sensitive to catch age and gender differences.
The Italian version of the H-Scale demonstrated good reliability and validity. Its sufficient discriminative and evaluative psychometric properties provide the theoretical evidence for further application in evidence-based research studies.
过去十年间，过度唤醒的研究日益发展。然而，目前仍缺乏有效的过度唤醒评估方法。本研究旨在验证意大利语版过度唤醒量表（H-Scale）的心理测量学特性，为目标人群提供有效的评估工具。
对问卷进行翻译、回译、预测试和跨文化调适。随后，982 名年龄在 18 至 80 岁之间的成年人（男性 456 名，女性 526 名，M = 35.61 ± 12.47）完成了意大利语版 H-Scale、焦虑敏感指数（ASI-3）和健康调查简表（SF-36）的测试。
翻译后的 H-Scale 的克朗巴赫 α 系数为 0.81。此外，H-Scale 与 ASI-3 呈正相关，与 SF-36 呈负相关。H-Scale 还能敏感地区分年龄和性别差异。
意大利语版 H-Scale 具有良好的信度和效度。其充分的区分性和评估性心理测量学特性为进一步在基于证据的研究中应用提供了理论依据。
