本研究的目的是检查测量不变性的形式的自我批评/攻击和自我安慰量表（FSCRS）的项目反应理论的差异测试功能在13个不同的样本（N = 7714）来自12个不同的国家。我们分别评估了FSCRS三个分量表的差异测试功能，不足的自我，讨厌的自我和放心的自我。对于不足自我，样本之间的78个成对比较中有32个，对于自信自我，78个成对比较中有42个，对于憎恨自我，78个成对比较中有54个没有表现出差异测试功能，即测量不变性。憎恨自我是三个分量表中最不变的，这表明自我憎恨在不同文化中的感知是相似的。尽管如此，FSCRS的所有三个分量表都对跨文化差异敏感。考虑到在表达自我批评和自我保证方面可能存在的文化和语言差异，未来有必要对世界各地这些结构的含义和内涵进行分析，以开发或定制一个量表，从而对与自我批评相关的各种治疗结果进行跨文化比较。
The purpose of this study was to examine the measurement invariance of the Forms of Self-Criticising/Attacking & Self-Reassuring Scale (FSCRS) in terms of Item Response Theory differential test functioning in thirteen distinct samples (N = 7714) from twelve different countries. We assessed differential test functioning for the three FSCRS subscales, Inadequate-Self, Hated-Self and Reassured-Self separately. 32 of the 78 pairwise comparisons between samples for Inadequate-Self, 42 of the 78 pairwise comparisons for Reassured-Self and 54 of the 78 pairwise comparisons for Hated-Self demonstrated no differential test functioning, i.e. measurement invariance. Hated-Self was the most invariant of the three subscales, suggesting that self-hatred is similarly perceived across different cultures. Nonetheless, all three subscales of FSCRS are sensitive to cross-cultural differences. Considering the possible cultural and linguistic differences in the expression of self-criticism and self-reassurance, future analyses of the meanings and connotations of these constructs across the world are necessary in order to develop or tailor a scale which allows cross-cultural comparisons of various treatment outcomes related to self-criticism.
