Abstract: The psychometric and factor‐analytic properties of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were investigated in an undergraduate university student sample and an adolescent inpatient psychiatric sample. Three factors were extracted from each sample and were comparable to those described by the originators of the scale. Reliability, concurrent validity, and construct validity estimates are also reported. The scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency in both samples. In terms of va… Show more

“…Adequate psychometric properties have been found with the MSPSS in several studies with young adults and adults in the United States and in Europe (Kazarian & McCabe, 1991;Zimet et al, 1988Zimet et al, , 1990. Canty-Mitchell and Zimet (2000) investigated the MSPSS with a sample of urban adolescents and found internal reliability estimates of .93 for the total score and .91, .89, and .91 for the Family, Friends, and Significant Others subscales.…”
