这项研究首次对大型非裔美国人样本中的 6 项每日精神体验量表 (DSES) 的心理测量特性进行了检验，即杰克逊心脏研究 (JHS)。 JHS 包括精神（DSES）和宗教实践的衡量标准。评估了内部可靠性、维度、拟合指数和相关性。 DSES 分数反映了频繁的日常精神体验（12.84 +/- A 4.72），可靠性分数很高（α A = 0.85；95% CI 0.84-0.86）。 DSES 加载单因子，具有显着的拟合优度分数（RMSEA = 0.094，P < 0.01）。 DSES 项目之间存在中等显着相关性。我们的研究结果证实，6 项 DSES 在此样本中具有出色的心理测量特性。
This study provided the first examination of the psychometric properties of the 6-item Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES) in a large African American sample, the Jackson Heart Study (JHS). The JHS included measures of spiritual (DSES) and religious practices. Internal reliability, dimensionality, fit indices, and correlation were assessed. DSES scores reflected frequent daily spiritual experiences (12.84 +/- A 4.72) and reliability scores were high (alpha A = 0.85; 95% CI 0.84-0.86). The DSES loaded on a single factor, with significant goodness-of-fit scores (RMSEA = 0.094, P < 0.01). Moderate significant correlations were noted among DSES items. Our findings confirm that the 6-item DSES had excellent psychometric properties in this sample.
