Making adaptive meaning of stressful life experiences has been identified as an important determinant of adjustment. The Integration of Stressful Life Experiences Scale (ISLES) was developed to assess the outcome of meaning-making processes in the face of negative events.
The psychometric properties of this scale have not been measured in Iranian populations. The purpose of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the 16-item and 6-item versions of ISLES with a sample of 502 university students who had experienced relationship dissolution.
Findings support a two-factor structure with acceptable validity and reliability. Positive correlations between the scores of ISLES with Centrality of Event Scale and PTSD symptoms provided evidence of concurrent validity.
The results of measurement invariance indicated that both the 16-item and 6-item versions of ISLES are gender invariant and can be used to assess meaning-made in both men and women.
对压力生活经历进行适应性意义建构已被确定为调整的一个重要决定因素。面对负面事件时，应激生活体验整合量表（ISLES）旨在评估意义建构过程的结果。
该量表的心理测量特性尚未在伊朗人群中进行测量。本研究的目的是用经历过关系破裂的 502 名大学生样本检验 ISLES 的 16 项和 6 项版本的心理测量特性。
研究结果支持具有可接受的效度和信度的两因素结构。ISLES 得分与事件中心性量表和 PTSD 症状之间的正相关为同时效度提供了证据。
测量不变性的结果表明，ISLES 的 16 项和 6 项版本在性别上都是不变的，可以用于评估男性和女性的意义建构。
