The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness, version 2 (MAIA-2) is a commonly utilized self-report instrument to assess individuals' ability to perceive bodily sensations. The MAIA-2 has displayed variable psychometric properties across samples. Thus, we examine the psychometric properties of the MAIA-2 in a Southeastern United States college sample.
Our studies consisted of 710 (study 1) and 66 (study 2) college students.
Study 1 used a cross-sectional research design where we investigated the factor structure, and measurement invariance (e.g., measured similarly across genders). Study 2 examined the test-retest reliability across a three-week period.
The MAIA-2 displayed adequate to good internal consistencies and factor loadings, strict invariance, and questionable temporal stability.
The MAIA-2 demonstrates adequate psychometric properties in this college sample that were similar to the original MAIA sample characteristics. Contextual and cultural factors may influence the subjective experience of interpreting bodily sensations.
多维内感受性觉察评估量表 2 版（MAIA-2）是一种常用于评估个体感知身体感觉能力的自我报告工具。MAIA-2 在不同样本中的心理测量特性存在差异。因此，我们在东南美国大学生样本中检验了 MAIA-2 的心理测量特性。
我们的研究包括 710 名（研究 1）和 66 名（研究 2）大学生。
研究 1 使用横断面研究设计，我们研究了因素结构和测量不变性（例如，在性别间相似测量）。研究 2 考察了在三周期间的测试重测信度。
MAIA-2 显示出足够好的内部一致性和因子负荷、严格的不变性和可疑的时间稳定性。
MAIA-2 在这个大学生样本中表现出足够的心理测量特性，与原始 MAIA 样本特征相似。上下文和文化因素可能会影响对身体感觉的主观体验。
