在这项研究中，作者检验了一系列嵌套验证性因素分析模型，以评估自我构念量表(SCS)在泰国和美国的多维性。作者比较了最初的两因素模型和最近发展起来的六因素模型，并检验了适合于跨文化不变性的模型。结果表明，在美国样本中，六因素模型的数据更符合Hardin等人的S的发现。然而，在泰国样本中，五个项目没有加载到任何因素上，其他一些项目交叉加载，或者与两因素或六因素模型指定的不同因素显著相关。未能证明结构不变性意味着SCS，或许是自我结构本身，不一定是一个通用结构。
In this study, the authors examined a series of nested confirmatory factor analytic models to assess the multidimensionality of the Self-Construal Scale (SCS) in Thailand and the United States. The authors compared the original two-factor model with the more recently developed six-factor model and examined model fit for cross-cultural invariance. Results suggested a substantially better fit to the data for the six-factor model in the American sample, replicating Hardin et al.'s findings. However, in the Thai sample, five items did not load on any factor and a number of other items cross-loaded or were significantly related to a different factor than specified by the two-or six-factor models. The failure to demonstrate configural invariance implies that the SCS and perhaps self-construal itself cannot necessarily be assumed to be a universal construct.
