满足延迟的缺陷与广泛的公共健康问题有关，如肥胖、危险的性行为和药物滥用。然而，六十年来对该结构的研究进展不如预期的快，主要是由于测量问题。虽然过去的研究暗示了延迟行为的五个领域，包括食物、身体愉悦、社会互动、金钱和成就，但迄今为止还没有发表的测量方法涵盖了内容领域的所有五个组成部分。现有的测量方法因效率、可靠性和结构效度的限制而受到批评。采用创新的互联网中介方法，我们开发了35项五因素延迟满足量表（DGI）。来自四项研究和大量不同的受访者样本（N = 10,741）的证据为该测量的心理测量特性提供了支持。具体来说，DGI的分数在35项组合、5个领域中的每一个领域和10项简短形式中显示出很强的内部一致性和重测可靠性。五因子结构与数据拟合良好，在各子组间具有良好的测量不变性。结构效度与密切相关的自我控制测量、行为评分、大五人格特质测量、适应和精神病理学测量（包括明尼苏达多相人格量表-2-重构表（MMPI-2-RF））得分相关。DGI分数在考虑幸福感和健康相关变量方面也显示出递增的有效性。本研究通过展示网络中介策略的适宜性，对改善公众健康、加速未来对满足延迟的研究以及促进更广泛的调查构建研究具有启示意义。
Deficits in gratification delay are associated with a broad range of public health problems, such as obesity, risky sexual behavior, and substance abuse. However, six decades of research on the construct has progressed less quickly than might be hoped, largely due to measurement issues. Although past research implicates five domains of delay behavior, involving food, physical pleasures, social interactions, money, and achievement, no published measure to date has tapped all five components of the content domain. Existing measures have been criticized for limitations related to efficiency, reliability, and construct validity. Using an innovative Internet-mediated approach to survey construction, we developed the 35-item five-factor Delaying Gratification Inventory (DGI). Evidence from four studies and a large, diverse sample of respondents (N = 10,741) provided support for the psychometric properties of the measure. Specifically, scores on the DGI demonstrated strong internal consistency and test-retest reliability for the 35-item composite, each of the five domains, and a 10-item short-form. The five-factor structure fit the data well and had good measurement invariance across subgroups. Construct validity was supported by correlations with scores on closely-related self-control measures, behavioral ratings, Big Five personality trait measures, and measures of adjustment and psychopathology, including those on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF). DGI scores also showed incremental validity in accounting for well-being and health-related variables. The present investigation holds implications for improving public health, accelerating future research on gratification delay, and facilitating survey construction research more generally by demonstrating the suitability of an Internet-mediated strategy.
