OBJECTIVES
International students attending universities in the United States may encounter psychological distress related to their adjustment and experiences studying in a new context and seek services from university counseling centers. Many centers use the Counseling Center Assessment of Psychological Symptoms (CCAPS) to measure psychological distress in college counseling centers. However, this scale has not been tested for measurement invariance with international students. Our purpose was to explore the measurement invariance of the CCAPS-62 and -34 for international students.
METHODS
We tested measurement invariance for both versions of the scale using data from over 107,000 university students in psychotherapy at university counseling centers. We also examined construct validity and internal consistency.
RESULTS
Invariance testing indicated the measurement models of the CCAPS-62 and -34 are equivalent between both groups.
CONCLUSION
These findings are discussed in light of utilizing this widely-used scale in United States university/college counseling centers with international student clients.
目的
在美国大学就读的国际学生可能会因适应新环境以及学习经历而遭遇心理困扰，并向大学咨询中心寻求服务。许多中心使用《心理咨询中心心理症状评估量表》（CCAPS）来衡量大学咨询中心中的心理困扰情况。然而，该量表尚未针对国际学生进行测量不变性检验。我们的目的是探讨CCAPS - 62和 - 34对国际学生的测量不变性。
方法
我们使用来自大学咨询中心接受心理治疗的超过107,000名大学生的数据，对该量表的两个版本进行了测量不变性检验。我们还检验了结构效度和内部一致性。
结果
不变性检验表明，CCAPS - 62和 - 34的测量模型在两组之间是等效的。
结论
结合在美国大学/学院咨询中心对国际学生客户使用这一广泛使用的量表的情况，对这些研究结果进行了讨论。
