本研究探讨了因子结构和不变性的心理健康连续简表（MHC-SF）跨文化群体从三个国家，即荷兰，南非和伊朗（N = 1120）。心理健康的三维结构在所有组中都得到了支持。测量不变性检验的结果证实了MHC-SF的完全度量和部分标量不变性。研究还比较了三个文化群体在心理幸福感方面的潜在手段，发现存在显著差异。的意义和影响的结果进行了讨论。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This study investigated the factorial structure and invariance of the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) across cultural groups from three nations, namely, the Netherlands, South Africa, and Iran (N = 1120). The three-dimensional structure of mental well-being was supported in all the groups. The results of measurement invariance testing confirmed the full metric and partial scalar invariance of the MHC-SF. The study also compared the latent means for the aspects of mental well-being in the three cultural groups, and found significant differences. The significance and implications of the results are discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
