The Modified Erikson Psychosocial Stage Inventory (MEPSI) is a relatively simple survey measure designed to assess the strength of psychosocial attributes that arise from progression through Erikson's eight stages of development. The purpose of this study was to employ secondary analysis to evaluate the internal-consistency reliability and construct validity of the MEPSI across four diverse samples: healthy young adults, hemophilic men, healthy older adults, and older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Special attention was given to the performance of the measure across gender, with exploratory analyses examining possible age cohort and health status effects. Internal-consistency estimates for the aggregate measure were high, whereas subscale reliability levels varied across age groups. Construct validity was supported across samples. Gender, cohort, and health effects offered interesting psychometric and theoretical insights and direction for further research. Findings indicated that the MEPSI might be a useful instrument for operationalizing and testing Eriksonian developmental theory in adults.
修订版埃里克森心理社会发展阶段量表（MEPSI）是一种相对简单的调查工具，旨在评估因经历埃里克森八个发展阶段而产生的心理社会属性的强度。本研究的目的是通过二次分析来评估MEPSI在四个不同样本中的内部一致性信度和结构效度，这四个样本分别是：健康的年轻成年人、血友病男性、健康的老年人以及患有慢性阻塞性肺疾病的老年人。研究特别关注了该量表在不同性别中的表现，并通过探索性分析考察了可能的年龄组和健康状况影响。总量表的内部一致性估计值较高，而各分量表的信度水平在不同年龄组中有所不同。各样本的结构效度均得到了支持。性别、年龄组和健康状况的影响提供了有趣的心理测量学和理论见解以及进一步研究的方向。研究结果表明，MEPSI可能是在成年人中实施和检验埃里克森发展理论的有用工具。
