目的本文的目的是评估美国英裔和美国西班牙裔大学生样本中 Bermond-Vorst 述情问卷 (BVAQ) 的心理测量特性。方法 194 名美国西班牙裔和 304 名美国盎格鲁裔大学生参与了这项研究。除了完成 BVAQ 之外，参与者还完成了包含 20 项的多伦多述情障碍量表 (TAS-20)、贝克抑郁量表 (BDI) 和艾森克神经质量表 (ENS)。RESULTSBVAQ 和 TAS-20 子量表在各组之间具有相关性。虽然 BVAQ 分量表的识别和言语复合量表按预期方向预测各组的神经质和抑郁症，但 BVAQ 的幻想分量表对各组的抑郁和神经质呈负向预测。结论鉴于与某些 BVAQ 分量表相关的意外发现，未来的研究应该探索述情障碍的维度。
OBJECTIVEThe aim of this paper is to assess the psychometric properties of the Bermond-Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire (BVAQ) in U.S. Anglo and U.S. Hispanic samples of college students.METHODOne hundred ninety-four U.S. Hispanics and 304 U.S. Anglos participated in the study. In addition to completing the BVAQ, participants completed the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Eysenck Neuroticism Scale (ENS).RESULTSBVAQ and TAS-20 subscales were correlated across groups. While the identifying and verbalizing composites of the BVAQ subscales were predictive of neuroticism and depression across groups in the expected direction, the fantasizing subscale of the BVAQ was negatively predictive of depression and neuroticism across groups.CONCLUSIONGiven the unexpected findings associated with some of the BVAQ subscales, future research should explore the dimensionality of alexithymia.
