本研究探讨了厌恶倾向和敏感性量表修订版（DPSS-R）的因素结构和心理测量学特性的非临床样本（N = 340）。DPSS-R的主成分分析揭示了一个由厌恶倾向和厌恶敏感性组成的双因素结构。虽然两个因素的结构收敛与先前的研究，16个DPSS-R项目中的4个没有加载到预测的因素。DPSS-R具有良好的信度和效度。DPSS-R及其2个因子与蜘蛛恐惧、污染恐惧呈中度相关，与注射恐惧呈轻度相关。在控制了负面情绪后，DPSS-R和这些焦虑症症状之间的关系基本上保持不变。回归分析还显示，这两个DPSS-R因素表现出特异性的焦虑症症状的预测。这些研究结果进行了讨论，促进一个更有效和可靠的评估焦虑症的厌恶。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The present study examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Disgust Propensity and Sensitivity Scale-Revised (DPSS-R) in a nonclinical sample (N = 340). Principal components analysis of the DPSS-R revealed a two-factor structure consisting of Disgust Propensity and Disgust Sensitivity. Although the two-factor structure converged well with prior research, four of the 16 DPSS-R items did not load onto the predicted factor. The DPSS-R demonstrated good reliability and validity. The DPSS-R and its two factors were moderately correlated with spider fear and contamination fear and mildly correlated with injection fear. The relation between the DPSS-R and these anxiety disorder symptoms remained largely intact after controlling for negative affect. Regression analyses also revealed that the two DPSS-R factors demonstrate specificity in the prediction of anxiety disorder symptoms. These findings are discussed in terms of promoting a more valid and reliable assessment of disgust in anxiety disorders. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
