摘要: In this study, we examined estimates of internal consistency reliability, measurement invariance, and differential correlates the Multidimensional Scale Perceived Social Support (MSPSS; Zimet, Dahlem, & Farley, 1988) in samples undergraduate men (n = 270) women 340). The MSPSS is designed to assess 3 sources perceived social support: family, friends, significant others. participants ranged age from 18 24 years (M 19.60, SD 1.4 years). First, composite scale reliability coefficient omega methods provided adequate for original total subscale scores. Second, results multiple-groups invariance confirmatory factor analysis support configural metric invariance. Partial was attained scalar strict across women. Additionally, given high correlations among first-order factors, conducted bifactor ...
