Stres merupakan suatu kondisi ketegangan yang mempengaruhi emosi, proses berpikir dan kondisi fisik seseorang. Stres dapat menyebabkan seseorang kehilangan minat, nafsu makan memunculkan perasaan rendah diri bahkan lebih buruknya dapat membuat seseorang ingin bunuh diri. Pengaruh stres terhadap tubuh sangat besar, seseorang dengan tingkat stres yang tinggi dapat berpengaruh terhadap menurunnya daya tahan tubuh seseorang sehingga membuat seseorang menjadi mudah terserang berbagai macam penyakit. Berbagai macam alat ukur untuk mengukur stres dalam hal ini stres di tempat kerja telah banyak digunakan akan tetapi peneliti memilih menggunakan alat ukur yang dibuat oleh peneliti sendiri. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas konstruk untuk mendeteksi stres di tempat kerja. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini melibatkan 172 pekerja wanita di Jakarta Selatan dengan latar belakang pekerjaan yang berbeda. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan bantuan software Lisrel 8.7. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa terdapat beberapa item dalam skala stres kerja yang mengukur lebih dari satu faktor (multidimensional). Stress is a condition of tension that affects emotions, thought processes and one's physical condition. Stress can cause a person to lose interest, appetite to create feelings of inferiority even worse can make someone want to commit suicide. The influence of stress on the body is very large, a person with a high level of stress can affect a person's immune system so that someone becomes susceptible to various diseases. Various types of measuring instruments to measure stress in this case stress in the workplace has been widely used but researchers chose to use a measuring instrument made by the researchers themselves. Therefore this study aims to examine construct validity to detect stress in the workplace. The data used in this study involved 172 female workers in South Jakarta with different occupational backgrounds. The analytical method used is Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the help of Lisrel 8.7 software. The results of the study prove that there are several items in the work stress scale that measure more than one (multidimensional) factor.

Background: Body image shame considerably contributes to the development and persistence of eating and body image disorders. Objectives: The current study was done to determine the psychometric properties of the body image shame scale and introduce a suitable measure for researchers and therapists in the field of psychological health. Methods: In this study, 409 (136 men and 273 females) individuals who referred to cosmetic surgery clinics in Tehran were chosen. The construct validity of the body image shame was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis and divergent and convergent validity. To assess the divergent and convergent validity of the body compassion scale, appearance anxiety inventory, dysmorphic concern questionnaire and Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale were used. Internal Consistency and test-retest reliability (4 weeks’ interval) were used to evaluate reliability. LISREL V8.80 and SSPS V20 were used for data analysis. Results: The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that the two-factor model (internal and external body image shame) fitted the data (RMSEA = 0.07, NFI = 0.94, CFI = 0.92). Body image shame scale had a positive, significant correlation with dysmorphic concern, appearance anxiety, and self-criticism, and a negative, significant correlation with body compassion (P < 0.05). Also, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, for the whole of scale, internal body image shame, and external body image shame were 0.85, 0.79, and 0.82, respectively. Conclusions: Psychometric properties of the persian version of the body image shame scale were confirmed in this study. Therefore, it can be used as a valid instrument in research and clinical works in populations with concerns about body image.

AbstractThis study aims to examine validity of items in Multidimensional Measure of Islamic Spirituality (MMS) scale which was first formulated by Dasti and Sitwat (1988). There are eight aspects of Islamic spirituality in this construct, namely: 1) quest and search for divinity, 2) feelings of connectedness with Allah, 3) self discipline, 4) anger-expansive, 5) self-aggrandizement, 6) meanness-generosity, 7) tolerance-intolerance, and 8) Islamic practices. Through 199 participants who are Moslem women and used to live in big cities, we conducted the validity of measuring instruments by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method and assisted by software Lisrel 8.7. CFA test results show that MMS scale that has been adapted into 46 items is valid. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji validitas item dalam skala Multidimensional Measure of Islamic Spirituality (MMS) yang pertama kali dirumuskan oleh Dasti dan Sitwat (1988). Ada delapan aspek kerohanian Islam dalam konstruksi ini, yaitu: 1) pencarian keilahian, 2) perasaan terhubung dengan Allah, 3) disiplin diri, 4) kemarahan-ekspansif, 5) peningkatan diri, 6) kejelekan -generositas, 7) toleransi-intoleransi, dan 8) praktik Islam. Melalui 199 responden yang tinggal di kota-kota besar, kami melakukan validitas alat ukur dengan menggunakan metode Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Hasil tes CFA menunjukkan bahwa skala MMS yang telah diadaptasi menjadi 46 item valid.

Introduction: The undisputed increase of the relevance of measuring the work-related psychosocial factors is confronted with a lack of qualified well-documented measuring instruments covering all important aspects. Aim: To develop and validate a standardized Arabic version of the COPSOQ II for evaluating the psychosocial environment at the oil and gas workplace. Method: COPSOQ network guidelines for validation studies were followed. The original Danish COPSOQ II (Long version) was meticulously translated and comprehensively validated among an adaptation sample of 500 oil and gas industry workers in the Suez Oil Processing Company in Egypt. Only 438 workers completed the questionnaire in Arabic and English languages with demonstrated sociodemographic data (Yielding a response rate of 87.6%). Psychometric properties of COPSOQ II scale items were depicted in terms of descriptive statistics, feasibility analysis, and internal consistency. Furthermore, A-COPSOQ II was tested for factorial validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: Mean age of the study participants was 35 ± 6 years. Scales of Arabic COPSOQ depicted a great Concordance and Reliability (C-α > 0.7). Content Validity Index (CVI) was estimated to be 0.87; ranging from 0.7 - 0.9. Models of exploratory factor analyses projected a reflective working model with reasonable results in 33 out of 41 overall scales. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed an acceptable fit (X2 = 745.67, X2/df = 2.09, SRMR = 0.058, CFI = 0.87). Conclusion: Arabic version of COPSOQ II is a relevant and culturally accepted conceptual instrument for tracking psychosocial hazards and promoting a safe environment for all workers.

The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) is a widely used measure of body shape concerns that was originally designed for use with women but has more recently been used with boys and men. The latter use may be problematic, given that no previous study has demonstrated sex invariance for BSQ scores. To determine the extent to which BSQ scores are sex invariant, we asked Portuguese-speaking women ( n = 1,613) and men ( n = 871) to complete the full BSQ (34 items). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a hypothesized 32-item model of BSQ scores and shorter versions had acceptable fit indices in women and men, separately. However, multigroup confirmatory factor analysis showed that these BSQ model scores had configural but not metric, scalar, or strict sex invariance. Differential item analysis indicated significant item-functioning differences on 19 of the 32 retained BSQ items. Thus, BSQ scores are not sex invariant, making problematic the results of previous studies that have compared latent BSQ scores across sex.

ABSTRACTBackground: There are a limited number of scales available in the Spanish language that can be used to detect burden among individuals who care for a dependent family member. The purpose of this work was to adapt and validate the Caregiver Risk Screen (CRS) scale developed by Guberman et al. (2001) (Guberman, N., Keefe, J., Fancey, P., Nahmiash, D. and Barylak, L. (2001). Development of Screening and Assessment Tools for Family Caregivers: Final Report. Montreal, Canada: Health Transition Fund).Methods: The sample was made up of 302 informal caregivers of dependent family members (average age 57.3 years, and 78.9% were women). Scale structure was subjected to a confirmatory factor analysis. Concurrent and convergent validity were assessed by correlation with validated questionnaires for measuring burden (Zarit Burden Inventory (ZBI)) and psychological health (SCL-90-R).Results: The results show a high level of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.86), suitable fit of the one-dimensional model tested via confirmatory factor analysis (GFI = 0.91; CFI = 0.91; RMSEA = 0.097), and appropriate convergent validity with similar constructs (r = 0.77 with ZBI; and r-values between 0.45 and 0.63 with SCL-90-R dimensions).Conclusions: The findings are promising in terms of their adaptation of the CRS to Spanish, and the results enable us to draw the conclusion that the CRS is a suitable tool for assessing and detecting strain in family caregivers. Nevertheless, new research is required that explores all the psychometric features on the scale.

This study aimed to assess the dimensional structure, reliability, convergent validity, discriminant validity, and scalability of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The sample consisted of 1,447 pregnant women in São Luís (Maranhão State) and 1,400 in Ribeirão Preto (São Paulo State), Brazil. The 14 and 10-item versions of the scale were assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, using weighted least squares means and variance (WLSMV). In both cities, the two-factor models (positive factors, measuring resilience to stressful situations, and negative factors, measuring stressful situations) showed better fit than the single-factor models. The two-factor models for the complete (PSS14) and reduced scale (PSS10) showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha ≥ 0.70). All the factor loadings were ≥ 0.50, except for items 8 and 12 of the negative dimension and item 13 of the positive dimension. The correlations between both dimensions of stress and psychological violence showed the expected magnitude (0.46-0.59), providing evidence of an adequate convergent construct validity. The correlations between the scales’ positive and negative dimensions were around 0.74-0.78, less than 0.85, which suggests adequate discriminant validity. Extracted mean variance and scalability were slightly higher for PSS10 than for PSS14. The results were consistent in both cities. In conclusion, the single-factor solution is not recommended for assessing stress in pregnant women. The reduced, 10-item two-factor scale appears to be more appropriate for measuring perceived stress in pregnant women.
