为了确定 Hopkins Symptom Checklist-21 是否在不同种族群体中表现出相同的有效性，作者使用验证性因子分析和跨组不变性检验，以欧洲裔美国人 (n = 514)、非洲裔美国人 (n = 154) 和拉丁裔 (n = 229) 大学生为样本，测试了该工具的因子结构。在大多数情况下，包含表现、一般和躯体因素的三因素模型同样适合所有 3 个种族/族裔群体。差异仅涉及因子载荷强度或误差项方面的少数项目。结果总体上支持使用该工具测量这些不同种族/族裔群体的痛苦的有效性。
To determine if the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-21 demonstrates equivalent validity across different ethnic groups, the authors tested the factor structure of the instrument with a sample of European American (n = 514), African American (n = 154), and Latino (n = 229) college students using confirmatory factor analysis with tests of invariance across groups. For the most part, a 3-factor model with Performance, General, and Somatic factors fit equally well for all 3 racial/ethnic groups. Differences involved only a few items in terms of either the strength of a factor loading or an error term. The results generally support the validity of the use of the instrument for measurement of distress in these different racial/ethnic groups.
