The study aimed to perform confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, gender differential item functioning, and discriminant validity of the Fear of COVID-5 Scale in emerging adult students of a university in Mexico. Confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega), and gender differential item functioning were estimated (Kendall tau b correlation). The Fear of COVID-5 Scale showed a one-dimension structure (RMSEA = 0.07, CFI = 0.98, TLI = 0.96, and SRMR = 0.02), with high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.78 and McDonald's omega of 0.81), non-gender differential item functioning (Kendall tau b between 0.07 and 0.10), and significant discriminant validity (Higher scores for fear of COVID-19 were observed in high clinical anxiety levels). In conclusion, the Fear of COVID-5 Scale presents a clear one-dimension structure similar to a previous study.
该研究旨在对墨西哥一所大学的新兴成年学生进行新冠恐惧量表（Fear of COVID-5 Scale）的验证性因素分析、内部一致性分析、性别差异项目功能分析和区分效度分析。进行了验证性因素分析、内部一致性分析（克朗巴哈系数和麦克唐纳欧米伽系数）以及性别差异项目功能分析（肯德尔等级相关系数tau b）。新冠恐惧量表呈现出单维结构（近似误差均方根RMSEA = 0.07，比较拟合指数CFI = 0.98，塔克-刘易斯指数TLI = 0.96，标准化残差均方根SRMR = 0.02），具有较高的内部一致性（克朗巴哈系数为0.78，麦克唐纳欧米伽系数为0.81），不存在性别差异项目功能（肯德尔等级相关系数tau b在0.07至0.10之间），且具有显著的区分效度（在临床焦虑水平较高的人群中，对新冠的恐惧得分更高）。总之，新冠恐惧量表呈现出与先前研究相似的清晰单维结构。
