本研究评估了澳大利亚、巴西、德国、意大利、日本、荷兰、瑞典和美国(N=2,606)八个国家的厌恶量表(DS-R)的因素结构。验证性因素分析被用来比较DS-R的两种不同模型，并考察DS-R的因素结构在不同国家和性别之间的不变性。由三个不同但相互关联的厌恶因素(12项核心厌恶因素、8项动物提醒厌恶因素和5项污染厌恶因素)组成的三因素解决方案最好地解释了除荷兰以外的所有国家的数据。相对于美国，三因素解决方案在澳大利亚、巴西和日本是不变的，但在德国、意大利、荷兰和瑞典不是。在大多数国家，三因素解决方案在不同性别之间也是不变的。讨论了这些跨文化发现对于促进DS-R评估厌恶维度的更有效和更可靠的评估的意义。
The current study evaluates the factor structure of the Disgust Scale-Revised (DS-R) in eight countries: Australia, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United States (N = 2,606). Confirmatory factor analysis is used to compare two different models of the DS-R and to investigate the invariance of the factor structure of the DS-R across countries and gender. A three-factor solution consisting of three different but interrelated disgust factors (a 12-item core disgust factor, an 8-item animal-reminder disgust factor, and a 5-item contamination disgust factor) best accounted for the data in all countries except the Netherlands. Relative to the United States, the three-factor solution is invariant in Australia, Brazil, and Japan but not in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The three-factor solution is also invariant across gender in most countries. The implications of these cross-cultural findings for promoting a more valid and reliable assessment of disgust dimensions, as assessed by the DS-R, are discussed.
