The Integration of Stressful Life Experiences Scale-Short Form (ISLES-SF) is a popular, two-factor measure of meaning-making. Although researchers have used this instrument to calculate a global index of meaning-making, there has been little evidence to support this practice. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the validity of this approach by analyzing data from 2,380 American adults during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. A series of confirmatory factor analyses, reliability analyses, and concurrent validity analyses support a bi-factor model of meaning-making. These results affirm the practice of not only using the ISLES-SF to measure meaning-making at a global level, but also to interpret its two specific dimensions ( and ) as well.
应激性生活经历整合量表简版(ISLES-SF)是一种常用的、用于衡量意义建构的双因素测量工具。尽管研究人员已使用该工具来计算意义建构的总体指标,但几乎没有证据支持这种做法。因此,本研究的目的是通过分析2380名美国成年人在新冠疫情初期的数据,来检验这种方法的有效性。一系列验证性因素分析、信度分析和同时效度分析支持了意义建构的双因素模型。这些结果不仅肯定了使用ISLES-SF在总体层面衡量意义建构的做法,也肯定了对其两个具体维度进行解释的做法。
