(1) Background: The Embodied Sense-of-Self Scale (ESSS) is the only validated measure for self-assessing embodiment abnormalities, which differentiate people with anomalous embodied self-representations such as schizophrenic patients from controls. The aim of the current study was to translate the ESSS from English to Italian and to examine its factor structure, reliability, and validity in the Italian context. (2) Methods: We tested the fit of the original three-factor structure (agency, ownership, and narrative identity) across a community sample (N = 269) and the reliability as well as the convergent and divergent validity of the ESSS. (3) Results: The three-factor structure of the ESSS was confirmed. However, three different factors have emerged from our analysis (self-recognition, self-consistence, and self-awareness). Higher internal consistency of the ESSS was obtained by removing six items that seemed problematic. The three ESSS scales show highly intercorrelated constructs. The measure was reliable and positively correlated with schizotypy (via the Perceptual Aberration Scale) and aberrant salience (via the Aberrant Salience Inventory), and negatively correlated with empathy (via the Italian Short Empathy Quotient scale), generalized self-efficacy (via the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale), and social self-efficacy (via the Perceived Social Self-Efficacy Scale). (4) Conclusions: The 19-item Italian version of the ESSS is a suitable measure with which to assess embodiment abnormalities in Italian samples.
(1) 背景：具身自我感量表（ESSS）是唯一经过验证的用于自我评估具身异常的量表，它能区分具有异常具身自我表征的人群，如精神分裂症患者与对照组。本研究的目的是将ESSS从英语翻译成意大利语，并在意大利背景下检验其因子结构、信度和效度。(2) 方法：我们在一个社区样本（N = 269）中测试了原始三因子结构（能动性、所有权和叙事身份）的拟合情况以及ESSS的信度、收敛效度和区分效度。(3) 结果：ESSS的三因子结构得到了证实。然而，我们的分析中出现了三个不同的因子（自我识别、自我一致性和自我意识）。通过删除六个似乎有问题的项目，ESSS获得了更高的内部一致性。ESSS的三个分量表显示出高度相关的结构。该量表可靠，与精神分裂症样性（通过感知偏差量表）和异常显著性（通过异常显著性量表）呈正相关，与同理心（通过意大利简短同理心商数量表）、一般自我效能感（通过一般自我效能感量表）和社会自我效能感（通过感知社会自我效能感量表）呈负相关。(4) 结论：19项的意大利版ESSS是评估意大利样本中具身异常的合适量表。
