本文介绍了斯蒂芬森多群体文化适应量表（SMAS）的编制和心理测量学评价。进行了三项研究，以描述其发展和完善，检查其心理测量特性与436名参与者来自5个民族，并检查一个新的样本的因素结构的鲁棒性。探索性因素分析产生了一个2因素的解决方案：民族社会浸泡和主导社会浸泡。项目细化产生了SMAS的32个项目版本。研究结果表明，一个强大的因素结构跨组。验证性因素分析表明，2因素模型提供了一个密切的近似观察数据。研究表明，高的信度和效度指标。研究结果支持文化适应的作用，作为一个调解人之间的民族归属和标准化的评估结果。
This article describes the development and psychometric evaluation of the Stephenson Multigroup Acculturation Scale (SMAS). Three studies were conducted to describe its development and refinement, examine its psychometric properties with 436 participants from 5 ethnic groups, and examine the robustness of the factor structure with a new sample. Exploratory factor analyses generated a 2-factor solution: ethnic society immersion and dominant society immersion. Item refinement resulted in a 32-item version of the SMAS. Findings indicated a robust factor structure across groups. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 2-factor model provided a close approximation to the observed data. Studies indicated high reliability and validity indexes. Findings support the role of acculturation as a mediator between ethnic group affiliation and standardized assessment results.
