Abstract | The psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Multi-Attitude Suicide Tendency Scale were examined in a sample of 415 Chinese adolescents. Confirmatory factor analyses of the present data disconfirmed the original 4-factor structure. Exploratory factor analysis was then conducted to explore the underlying structure of the data set. A revised 4-factor structure, with a number of differences in item factor loadings, was obtained for the present sample. The scale also demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent validity with the Depression Self-Rating Scale and Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire. Distinct profiles of the scale were shown on non-suicidals, suicide ideators, and suicide attempters. Discrepant findings from previous work were discussed. (Author). |
