The Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC) is a widely used youth assessment of broad, transdiagnostic symptomatology following trauma. However, its factor structure has not been thoroughly tested in diverse samples. Youth ( = 738) exposed to interpersonal violence, including physical and sexual abuse, completed the TSCC. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test one-, six-, and eight-factor models of the TSCC clinical scales, based on previous literature and the TSCC manual. We examined measurement invariance across boys and girls and Black and non-Black participants, as well as convergent and discriminant validity. An eight-factor structure, consisting of posttraumatic stress, anxiety, depression, anger, overt dissociation, fantasy dissociation, sexual preoccupation, and sexual distress, demonstrated the best fit, with two items removed. Invariance tests supported configural and metric (but not scalar) invariance. This research highlights the need for further testing before differences between gender and racial groups can be accurately compared.
创伤后症状清单儿童版（TSCC）是一种广泛应用于评估儿童创伤后广泛、跨诊断症状的工具。然而，其因子结构在不同的样本中尚未得到充分验证。本研究纳入了 738 名经历人际暴力（包括身体和性虐待）的青少年，采用验证性因子分析来检验 TSCC 临床量表的单、六、八因子模型，这是基于之前的文献和 TSCC 手册。我们还检验了男孩和女孩、黑人和非黑人参与者之间的测量不变性，以及聚合和区分效度。八因子结构包括创伤后应激、焦虑、抑郁、愤怒、明显分离、幻想分离、性关注和性困扰，其中有两个项目被删除。不变性检验支持了组态和度量（但不包括标度）不变性。本研究强调在能够准确比较性别和种族群体之间的差异之前，需要进一步进行测试。
