摘要

背景　藉由精神分裂型人格特質來識別疑似高風險的精神疾病前驅期是一個篩檢的方法。精神分裂型人格簡短量表已被廣泛使用於測量此概念的工具，但其中文量表尚未經過心理測量學特性的檢驗。目的　針對男女大學生使用中文版精神分裂型人格簡短量表的結構效度之檢定。方法　本研究採方便取樣的橫跨性調查研究，資料收集從2008年10月到2009年1月，參與者共有513位男性及675位女性的台灣大學生。量表的結構效度以確認性因數分析，以結構方程模式採AMOS17版本的軟體分析。結果本研究結果呈現出不論男女，三個結構的模型的配適度更佳。男學生的分數在總分、人際互動分數以及去統整組織分項分數都比女性學生高。結論／實務應用　本研究之中文版精神分裂型人格簡短量表對台灣大學生呈現出可被接受之結構效度。本量表適用於測量男性及女性大學生的精神分裂型人格特質，來達到早期發現心理健康高風險的個案的。

Background: Screening for the schizotypal personality trait is one strategy to identify people whomay be susceptible to early psychosis or be at high risk for prodromal psychosis. The Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief (SPQ-B) has been widely used to assess the schizotypal personality and has been translated into Chinese. However, the psychometric properties of the Chinese-version scale have yet to be evaluated. Purpose: This study evaluates the construct validity of the Chinese-version SPQ-B on a sample ofmale and female undergraduate students in Taiwan. Methods: A cross-sectional design with convenient sampling was used for this study. The data were collected using the Chineseversion SPQ-B between October 2008 and June 2009. Participants included 513 male and 675 female undergraduate students in Taiwan. The factor construct validity of the scale was examined by confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modeling with SPSS AMOS version 17 software. Results: The results show that the three-factor model fits the data better than the one-factormodel for both male and female participants. The male participants scored significantly higher than their female counterparts in terms of total scale, interpersonal subscales, and disorganized subscales. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: The Chinese version of the SPQ-B adequately achieves three-factor construct validity for undergraduate students. The scalemay be used to screen for the schizotypal personality trait in both male and female college students to identify those at an elevated risk for mental illness.
