■在目前的研究中,我们检查了以前未发表的结构效度和与标准相关的效度,关系幸福感的八项衡量标准。
■首先,在英国的两项前COVID-Era试点研究中(分别为207和146),探索性因素分析的结果表明,除了一个关于亲密关系的项目之外,这些项目沿着单一维度评估了个体差异(即关系福祉),而不是两个不同的维度(即,社会关系和亲密关系)。第二,在英国的一项初步的COVID-Era前主要研究中(n=192),验证性因子分析的结果为假设的一维因子模式提供了支持,尽管试点研究中的同一问题项目相对于其他七个项目继续表现不佳。
■在随后的COVID-Lockdown-Era印度的主要研究中(n=205),希腊(n=354),和英国(n=390),验证性因素分析的结果确定,在省略了之前研究中出现的相同问题项之后,一维因素模式为三个样本提供了同样令人满意的拟合.
尽管我们没有着手测试关于COVID-Lockdown-Era研究中关系幸福感的平均相似性或差异的先验假设,方差分析的结果显示,英国人的关系幸福感得分明显低于印度或希腊。
■如上所述,一个特定项目在因子分析中反复表现不佳;理想情况下,该项目应在未来的研究中从关系幸福感量表中删除。
UNASSIGNED: In the present studies, we examine the construct validity and criterion-related validity of a previously unpublished, eight-item measure of relational wellbeing.
UNASSIGNED: First, in two pre-COVID-Era pilot studies within the UK (n\'s = 207 and 146, respectively), results of exploratory factor analyses revealed that-with the possible exception of one item regarding close relationships-the items assessed individual differences along a single dimension (i.e., relational wellbeing), rather than two distinct dimensions (i.e., social connections and close relationships). Second, in an initial pre-COVID-Era main study within the UK (n = 192), results of confirmatory factor analyses provided support for the hypothesized one-dimensional factor pattern, although the same problematic item from the pilot studies continued to under-perform relative to the other seven items.
UNASSIGNED: In a subsequent COVID-Lockdown-Era main study across India (n = 205), Greece (n = 354), and the UK (n = 390), results of confirmatory factor analyses established that-after omitting the same problematic item that had surfaced in the preceding studies-a one-dimensional factor pattern provided equally satisfactory fit for the three samples.
UNASSIGNED: Although we had not set out to test a priori hypotheses regarding mean similarities or differences in relational wellbeing among our COVID-Lockdown-Era studies, results of an analysis of variance revealed that persons within the UK scored significantly lower in relational wellbeing than did persons in India or Greece.
UNASSIGNED: As noted above, one particular item repeatedly performed poorly in factor analyses; this item ideally should be dropped from the relational wellbeing scale in future research.
