BACKGROUND
Individuals' concealment of negative information and privacy may lead to impaired social interactions and threatened health conditions. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Self-Concealment Scale (SCS) in the middle-aged Chinese population and to examine the equivalence of the SCS among different age groups.
METHODS
The current research adopted the SCS, Distress Disclosure Index (DDI), Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale (RCBS), Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS), Social Phobia Scale (SPS), UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-8), and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) to survey 1124 middle-aged people. To explore the factor structure of the SCS, the study employed exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the SCS was measured based on Cronbach's α coefficients, McDonald's Omega coefficients, and split-half reliability. Correlation analysis was applied to examine the relationship between SCS and RCBS, SIAS, SPS, ULS-8, and K10. Moreover, this study recruited 1458 emerging adults and 1104 older adults to identify the cross-age invariance of the SCS.
RESULTS
Exploratory factor analysis of the middle aged adults' data supported a single factor model. The factor loadings of SCS items ranged from 0.62 to 0.73, the commonality ranged from 0.39 to 0.53, and the single-factor model fitted well. The scale showed a Cronbach's α coefficient value of 0.895, McDonald's Omega coefficient of 0.893, and a split-half reliability coefficient value of 0.861. In addition, the SCS demonstrated invariance in emerging adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults. Further analysis showed that the scores of the SCS (F = 3.55, p = 0.029) among emerging adults (M = 26.43, SD = 7.96) were significantly higher than among middle-aged (M = 25.77, SD = 7.79), and older cohort (M = 25.69, SD = 7.91).
CONCLUSION
The SCS revealed favorable psychometric characteristics among the middle-aged Chinese population. The degree of self-concealment among emerging adults was higher than that of middle-aged and older people.
背景
个体对负面信息和隐私的隐瞒可能会导致社交互动受损和健康状况受到威胁。本研究旨在调查《自我隐瞒量表》（SCS）在中国中年人群中的有效性，并检验该量表在不同年龄组之间的等效性。
方法
本研究采用《自我隐瞒量表》（SCS）、《痛苦披露指数》（DDI）、《修订版 Cheek 和 Buss 害羞量表》（RCBS）、《社交焦虑量表》（SIAS）、《社交恐惧症量表》（SPS）、《加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表》（UCLA-8）和《凯斯勒心理困扰量表》（K10）对 1124 名中年人进行调查。为了探索 SCS 的因子结构，本研究采用了探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析。采用 Cronbach's α 系数、McDonald's Omega 系数和分半信度来衡量 SCS 的信度。采用相关分析来检验 SCS 与 RCBS、SIAS、SPS、UCLA-8 和 K10 之间的关系。此外，本研究还招募了 1458 名青年人和 1104 名老年人，以确定 SCS 的跨年龄不变性。
结果
对中年人群数据的探索性因子分析支持单因子模型。SCS 项目的因子负荷在 0.62 到 0.73 之间，共性在 0.39 到 0.53 之间，单因子模型拟合良好。该量表的 Cronbach's α 系数值为 0.895，McDonald's Omega 系数值为 0.893，分半信度系数值为 0.861。此外，SCS 在青年、中年和老年人群中具有不变性。进一步的分析表明，青年组（M=26.43，SD=7.96）的 SCS 得分（F=3.55，p=0.029）显著高于中年组（M=25.77，SD=7.79）和老年组（M=25.69，SD=7.91）。
结论
SCS 在中年中国人群中具有良好的心理测量特性。青年组的自我隐瞒程度高于中年组和老年组。
