摘要: This paper reports an examination of the factor structure Orbach's Multi-Attitude Suicide Tendency Scale (MAST) utilizing confirmatory analytic techniques. Participants were 215 undergraduate students ranging in age from 18 to 20 who completed MAST, Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale, Ideation Questionnaire, and a self-harmful behavior scale. Support was found for original structure, reliability, validity MAST. A correlated model fit data significantly better than uncorrelated model. The results this study indicate that MAST is valid reliable measure appropriate use with college-aged individuals research purposes. Because uncorrelated, we suggest future studies should attempt replicate finding, which would lead reexamination theory underlies
