The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) hostility and anxiety subscales in prison inmates.
Reliability and construct validity of the BSI hostility and anxiety subscales were examined using Cronbach's alphas, factor analysis, and hypothesis testing.
Of the 373 male inmates, 63% were White with a mean age of 36 years. Cronbach's alphas for hostility and anxiety were 0.83 and 0.81, supporting internal consistency. Factor analysis demonstrated two dimensions, hostility and anxiety. Supporting construct validity, inmates with higher hostility as well as those with higher anxiety had a greater number of mentally unhealthy days and lower perceived control.
The BSI hostility and anxiety subscales are reliable and valid for use in prison inmates.
本研究旨在评估《简明症状量表》（BSI）中敌意和焦虑分量表在监狱服刑人员中的心理测量特性。
采用克朗巴哈系数、因子分析和假设检验来检验BSI敌意和焦虑分量表的信度和结构效度。
在373名男性服刑人员中，63%为白人，平均年龄36岁。敌意和焦虑的克朗巴哈系数分别为0.83和0.81，支持内部一致性。因子分析显示出敌意和焦虑两个维度。支持结构效度的是，敌意较高以及焦虑较高的服刑人员心理健康问题天数更多，且感知到的控制感更低。
BSI敌意和焦虑分量表在监狱服刑人员中使用具有可靠性和有效性。
