Measurement Invariance of the Ruminative Response Scale Across Different Genders and Depressive Symptoms in Chinese Medical First-Year Students

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2023.06.018

Abstract

Abstract: Using the 10-item Ruminative Response Scale (RRS-10) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), 8019 first-year students from two medical universities in Shandong Province were surveyed. Multi-group confirmatory analysis (MCFA) was conducted to examine the measurement invariance of RRS-10 across gender and depressive symptoms, respectively. The independent two-sample t test showed no gender difference in the scores of RRS-10 and subscales. The total scores of RRS-10 and subscale scores of brooding and reflection in the depression-positive group were significantly higher than those in the depression-negative group. The configural invariance, metric invariance, scalar invariance and strict invariance of RRS-10 across different genders and depressive symptoms all showed good fitness. There was a significant difference in rumination between depression-positive students and depression-negative students. The 2-factor model of RRS-10 had good fitness of measurement invariance across different genders and depressive symptoms in Chinese medical first-year students.

Key words: rumination, measurement invariance, gender difference, depressive symptoms, medical first-year students

摘要： 采用10项目反刍思维量表(Ruminative Response Scale, RRS-10)和贝克抑郁量表对山东省两所医科院校8019名新生进行调查，使用多组验证性因素分析检验RRS-10在不同性别和抑郁症状医学院校新生中的测量等值性。结果发现，抑郁症状阳性组的RRS-10总分、强迫思考和反省深思因子分显著高于抑郁症状阴性组；RRS-10在男性和女性、抑郁症状阳性组和阴性组样本间的形态等值、弱等值、强等值和严格等值模型均成立。结果表明，RRS-10的二因子结构在不同性别以及抑郁症状医学院校新生间具有测量等值性。
