“…This scale’s version derives from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY; Statistics Canada, 2007 ). The data obtained in this national survey support the psychometric properties of the scale, with an adequate internal consistency ( α = .82) and correlations among items ranging from .38 to .64 ( Ferro & Boyle, 2013 ). For each item (e.g., “Overall, I have a lot to be proud of.”), the response scale ranged from 0 (false) to 4 (true) and the total score ranges from 0 to 16.…”

To reflect the complex phenomena of child sexual abuse (CSA), studies should examine possible gender specificities and explore potentially explanatory mechanisms. The current study aimed to test the moderating effect of gender in the mediated relationship between CSA, self-esteem, and delinquency during adolescence. A moderated mediation model was tested among a representative sample of 8,194 high school students (57.8% girls and 42.2% boys) age 14 to 18 in the province of Quebec in Canada. Results showed that self-esteem has an indirect effect on the relationship between CSA and delinquency. Gender (being a boy) was associated with a higher level of self-esteem and an increased risk of delinquent behaviors. Among victims of CSA, boys reported lower levels of self-esteem than girls, which was associated with an increased risk of displaying delinquent behaviors. Self-esteem may be an important target of intervention for sexually abused youth, especially for boys. Focusing on promoting positive self-esteem may also reduce the risk for male adolescents struggling with the deleterious consequences of delinquency.

“…The general self-image subscale of SDQ has shown evidence of robust psychometric properties across adolescent populations, including those with chronic illness. 6,7 In this sample of adolescents, internal consistency of the SDQ-General self-image was good (α = .83). The Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC) was used to measure self-concept across the domains of scholastic competence, social competence, athletic competence, physical appearance, behavioral conduct, and global selfworth.…”

“…6 Though the natural course of self-concept is comparable across socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and nationality, 3 sex and health-related differences exist in the adolescent population (e.g., males report higher selfconcept compared to females across developmental periods) 3 and, individuals with chronic physical illnesses (e.g., asthma, diabetes, epilepsy) report lower self-concept (i.e., steeper declines in early adolescence and no rebound in late adolescence) compared to those without physical illness. 6,7 The negative association between physical illness and self-concept in adolescence is salient. First, the proportion of adolescents with physical illness represents a substantial portion of the population (>25%) with evidence suggesting that the prevalence is increasing, 8 suggesting that a growing segment of the population is at risk for poor self-concept.…”

Objective Little is known about self-concept in adolescents with physical-mental comorbidity. This study investigated whether physical-mental comorbidity was associated with self-concept in adolescents and examined if adolescent age or sex moderated the association between physical-mental comorbidity and self-concept. Methods Study data were obtained from the Multimorbidity in Youth across the Life-course (MY LIFE), an ongoing Canadian study of adolescents with chronic physical illness who were recruited from outpatient clinics at a pediatric hospital. A total of 116 adolescents aged ≥ 10 years provided self-reports on key measures. Results Adolescents with comorbidity (n = 48) had lower self-concept scores on the Self-Determination Questionnaire (SDQ; d = 0.62) and Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC; d = 0.53) vs. adolescents without comorbidity (n = 68). An age × comorbidity status interaction was found and age-stratified models were computed to investigate this moderating effect of age. Amongst older adolescents, comorbidity was associated with lower SDQ (B = -2.55, p < .001), but this association was not found among younger adolescents (B = -0.29, p = .680). A similar effect was found for SPPC among older (B = -0.48, p = .001) and younger adolescents (B = 0.03, p = .842). Adolescent sex was not found to be a moderator. Conclusions Physical-mental comorbidity in adolescence was associated with lower self-concept and this association was moderated by age—differences between adolescents with vs. without comorbidity were greater for older adolescents and were clinically relevant. Opportunities to support positive self-perceptions for adolescents with comorbidity are warranted, especially when planning the transition from pediatric to adult health services.

“…Four models were established, that is, configural, metric, scalar and strict invariance, and gradually seek equivalence from loose to strict methods. The evaluation indicators for measurement invariance were as follows: ΔCFI < 0.010, ΔTLI < 0.010, and ΔRMSEA < 0.015 ( 43 , 44 ). Finally, according to Revelle and Zinbarg ( 45 ) argue that McDonald's omega in fact provides a more accurate approximation of a scale's reliability.…”

The COVID-19 Phobia Scale is an instrument for measuring the phobia of coronavirus. It has a stable four-factor structure and good reliability and validity in other countries and regions. In order to expand related research, this study aims to test the reliability and validity of the COVID-19 Phobia Scale in Chinese adolescents with depressive symptoms. The C19P-SC was translated into Chinese by the method of forward and back translation and tested in 1933 Chinese adolescents with depressive symptoms. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) were used to test and compare the four-factor model of the C19P-SC. Then we tested the measurement invariance of the C19P-SC across gender and time. Finally, the reliability was measured with the McDonald's omega coefficients. Consistent with previous studies, the C19P-SC showed a stable four-factor structure. The results showed that ESEM was better than CFA and more reasonable. In addition, the results of multi-group ESEM showed that the C19P-SC met the strict invariance at male and female and partial longitudinal strict invariance. The Mcdonald's omega coefficients of the C19P-SC total scale and each subscale reached the expected acceptable level. In short, the reliability and validity index of C19P-SC has reached an acceptable level, and the measurement invariance of different genders and different time points was established, but the cross-factor phenomenon of individual items was abnormal, and a further revision and testing are still needed.
