Bifactor structural model of symptom checklists: SCL-90-R and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) in a non-clinical community sample

Listado de síntomas breve (short checklist of symptoms) in Argentinean adults: psychometric study of its main clinical scales

“…This partially replicates results from other studies since women tend to inform more somatization, depression, anxiety, phobias and interpersonal sensitivity (Abuín & de Rivera, 2014;Caparrós Caparrós et al, 2007;Carrasco Ortíz et al, 2003;Casullo, 2004;González de Rivera et al, 1999;Houghton et al, 2012;Martínez Azumendi et al, 2001;Ruipérez et al, 2001;Sánchez & Ledesma, 2009;Urbán et al, 2014). The absence of differences in Hostility contradicts some precedents of men scoring significantly higher than women (Gempp Fuentealba & Avendaño Bravo, 2008;Urbán et al, 2014), but reproduce other studies where no differences were found (Casullo, 2004;González de Rivera et al, 1999;Sánchez & Ledesma, 2009). Caparrós Caparrós et al (2007) hypothesised different explanations for this sex difference: biology reasons, stating that organic changes are responsible for the presence of more symptoms in women; gender differences in the expression of emotions and socialization regarding the assumed role for women and men in the society.…”

“…Women, compared to men, show more somatization, depression, anxiety, phobias and interpersonal sensitivity (Abuín & de Rivera, 2014;Caparrós Caparrós et al, 2007;Carrasco Ortíz, Sańchez Moral, Ciccotelli, & del Barrio, 2003;Casullo, 2004;Chadda, 2015;Cwikel, Zilber, Feinson, & Lerner, 2008;González de Rivera et al, 1999;Houghton et al, 2012;King et al, 2008;Martínez Azumendi, Fernández Gómez, & Beitía Fernández, 2001;Ruipérez, Ibáñez, Lorente, Moro, & Ortet, 2001;Sánchez & Ledesma, 2009;The ESEMeD/MHEDEA 2000Investigators et al, 2004Urbán et al, 2014;WHO International Consortium in Psychiatric Epidemiology, 2000). Men, on the other hand, present more psychoticism and hostility than women (Aillon et al, 2014;Gempp Fuentealba & Avendaño Bravo, 2008;Urbán et al, 2014). However, there are also some reports of no differences by sex in paranoid ideation, interpersonal hostility, and psychoticism (Casullo, 2004;Gempp Fuentealba & Avendaño Bravo, 2008;González de Rivera et al, 1999;Martínez Azumendi et al, 2001;Sánchez & Ledesma, 2009).…”

“…Conversely, construct validity studies by factor analysis display a considerable variety of results that indicate factor structures varying from one to even eight dimensions (e.g. Abuín & de Rivera, 2014;Daoud & Abojedi, 2010;De Las Cuevas et al, 1991;Hoffmann & Overall, 1978;Urbán et al, 2014). Researchers have found difficulties replicating the nine-dimensional structure of the SCL-90-R by confirmatory factor analyses (Hardt, Gerbershagen, & Franke, 2000; o n l y Rauter, Leonard, & Swett, 1996;Schmitz et al, 2000;Vassend & Skrondal, 1999).…”

“…De hecho, en todas las versiones antes nombradas los estudios factoriales brindaron resultados extremadamente intrincados y variables. Sus ítems presentaban cargas complejas y se agrupaban en estructuras diversas, desde unifactoriales, hasta bi, penta, hexa y octodimensionales (e.g., Abuín y de Rivera, 2014;Cyr, McKenna-Foley y Peacock, 1985;Daoud y Abojedi, 2010;De Las Cuevas et al, 1991;Hoffmann y Overall, 1978;Martínez Azumendi, Fernández Gómez y Beitía Fernández, 2001;Urbán et al, 2014), atribuyéndose estas diferencias a cuestiones de comorbilidad clínica (De Rivera y Abuín, 2012).…”

“…Tampoco los estudios confirmatorios (AFC) han sido eficaces al momento de analizar la multidimensionalidad en el SCL-90-R, obteniéndose índices de ajuste inadecuados (Hardt, Gerbershagen y Franke, 2000;Ming-zhi, Heng-fen y Huei-fang, 2004;Rauter, Leonard y Swett, 1996;Schmitz et al, 2000;Vassend & Skrondal, 1999) o apenas aceptables (Urbán et al, 2014). Tampoco el BSI logró valores que llegaran a los requeridos (Benishek et al, 1998;Liu, Chen, Cao y Jiao, 2013), sucediendo lo mismo con el SA-54 (Alvarado et al, 2012;Sandín et al, 2008).…”
