“…As argued by several authors (Diamantopoulos, Siguaw, & Siguaw, 2000;Fan, Thompson, & Wang, 1999;Hu & Bentler, 1998;Rigdon, 1996;Schermelleh-Engel et al, 2003), the fit indexes RMSEA and CFI do not depend on sample size, as strongly as χ 2 . In addition, they are sensitive to structural model misspecifications and to the number of estimated parameters in the model.…”

External shame is associated to social and emotional difficulties, which are predictors of psychological disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the shorter Italian version of the Other As Shamer Scale (OAS-2), a measure of external shame. Confirmatory factor analysis was used in a sample of 612 (54.2% male) Italian undergraduate students. Evidence for this model provided support for the assumption that the one-factor model was similar across the gender groups. The Italian OAS-2 fully replicated the one-factor structure of the original OAS. Cronbach's alpha index, as well as test-retest stability provided satisfactory results. The OAS-2 showed good convergent and divergent validity, being highly correlated with measures of internal shame, trait anxiety, and depression. The OAS-2 can be considered a useful instrument for measuring external shame when time constraints impede the use of the 18-item OAS. Implications of the results are discussed and recommendations for future work with the scale are made.

“…In such contexts, the model may not represent data reasonably well. CFI equal to or greater than .90 indicates reasonable global fit (Rigdon, 1996). The SRMR less than .05 indicates acceptable fit (Byrne, 1998).…”

“…Using CFA, we first tested the two-factor model by following the structure of the original U.S. scale, taking into account the 18 items related to the anxiety dimension and the 18 items related to the avoidance dimension. (Rigdon, 1996). Therefore, if for instance RMSEA is already relatively small in the null model, CFI is likely to fall below the range considered to represent good model fit even if substantial absolute improvement in the specified model has occurred.…”

Abstract. This study aimed to validate the French version of the Experiences in Close Relationships–Revised (ECR-R) adult attachment questionnaire by investigating its internal structure and construct validity. The sample (N = 600) consisted of an equal number of male and female participants aged 25–45 years. Variables linked to adult romantic attachment (marital satisfaction, sexual satisfaction and fears associated with sexual activities, and self-esteem) were assessed using a set of questionnaires. The reliability of the two attachment dimensions (viz., avoidance and anxiety) was satisfactory. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the original two-factor model explained the data collected with the French ECR-R most satisfactorily. The assessment of measurement invariance showed that the structure is the same across the original U. S. sample and our sample, across men and women, and across single individuals and those in a couple relationship. Our evaluation of construct validity showed that the higher avoidance and anxiety, the lower self-esteem and sexual satisfaction and the higher the fears associated with sexuality. These results are theoretically coherent and consistent with those of previous studies of the English version of the scale. We conclude that the French version is valid.
