目前的研究检查了测量和结构不变性的抑郁焦虑压力量表-21（DASS-21）在男性（N = 227）和女性（N = 460）提供的评级。多组验证性因素分析（CFA）支持21个项目中的20个项目的完全度量不变性和截距不变性。所有项目截距的不变性得到了多指标多原因（MIMIC）程序的支持，控制年龄的影响。多组CFA支持所有因子方差和协方差的不变性。该程序和MIMIC分析发现所有潜在平均评分具有等效性。这些研究结果表明，良好的支持测量和结构不变的DASS-21评级在男性和女性。的心理测量和实际意义的研究结果进行了讨论。
The current study examined the measurement and structural invariance of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21) across ratings provided by men (N = 227) and women (N = 460). Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported full metric invariance and intercepts invariance for 20 of the 21 items. Invariance for all item intercepts was supported by multiple indicators multiple causes (MIMIC) procedure that controlled for the effects of age. Multiple-group CFA supported invariance for all factor variances and covariances. This procedure and the MIMIC analyses found equivalency for all latent mean scores. These findings indicate good support for measurement and structural invariance of the DASS-21 rating across men and women. The psychometric and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
