A Mentális Egészség Két-kontinuum Modellje a mentális egészség pozitív összetevőit, a szubjektív jóllét komponenseit összegzi. Vizsgálatunkban a modell alapján létrehozott Mentális Egészség Kontinuum Skála rövid változatának (rövid MEKS) pszichometriai mutatóit és faktorszerkezetét teszteltük hazai felnőtt egyetemista mintán.
552 egyetemista (71,5% nő, átlagéletkor = 22,09 év, szórás = 3,66) vett részt a keresztmetszeti elrendezésű vizsgálatban, akiket a következő kérdőívek kitöltésére kértünk: Mentális Egészség Kontinuum Skála - rövid változat; Majdnem Tökéletes Skála - rövid változat; Depresszió, Szorongás és Stressz Kérdőív - rövid változat (DASS-21); Kognitív Érzelem Reguláció Kérdőív - rövid változat és Big Five Személyiség- leltár-2 (BFI-2).
A Mentális Egészség Kontinuum Skála rövid változatának a tételek kereszttöltéseit is megengedő (Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling, ESEM) bifaktoros szerkezetét erősítettük meg: a globális szubjektív jóllét faktor erős jelenléte mellett az eredeti szerző, Corey L. M. Keyes által leírt három specifikus (érzelmi, pszichológiai és társas) jóllét faktor is megerősítést nyert. A bifaktoros ESEM modell nemi invarianciáját is sikerült igazolnunk. A mérőeszköz megbízhatósági eredményei kiválóak (ω = 0,79-0,92 között), ahogyan validitása is bizonyítást nyert: az elvártaknak megfelelően a pozitív mentális egészség mutatók (teljes rövid MEKS és alskálái) a depresszív, a szorongásos és a stressz tünetekkel, valamint az önkritikus, maladaptív perfekcionizmussal fordított irányú együtt járást mutatnak, míg az adaptív kognitív érzelemregulációs stratégiákkal és az alkalmazkodást segítő személyiségvonásokkal (barátságosság, lelkiismeretesség, érzelmi stabilitás, extraverzió) pozitív kapcsolatban állnak.
Eredményeink szerint egy valid, a szubjektív jóllét szintet globálisan és annak egyes területeit is megbízhatóan mérő önkitöltős kérdőívet tudtunk bevezetni a magyar tesztállományba.
The Two Continua Model of Mental Health summarizes the positive components of mental health. Our aim was to test the psychometric characteristics and the factor structure of the Hungarian version of the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF), a measurement based on the Two Continua Model of Mental Health, among Hungarian university students.
552 university students (71.5% women, mean age = 22.09, SD = 3,66) took part in the cross-sectional research. Respondents filled out the following questionnaires: Hungarian version of the MHC-SF; the Short Form of the Revised Almost Perfect Scale; the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21), the short version of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire; the Big Five Invento- ry-2.
We strenghtened the bifactor structure of the Hungarian version of the MHC-SF in Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) framework, which allows the cross-loadings of the items. Beside the strong global subjective well-being factor specific (emotional, psychological, and social) well-being factors emerged. Measurement invariance across gender is also demonstrated. The reliabilty of the Hungarian MHC-SF is excellent (ω = 0.79-0.92), as well as its validity. As it was expected, indicators of positive mental health associated negatively with depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms, furthermore self-critical and maladaptive perfectionism. In contrast, global and specific components of subjective well-being were in positive association with adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and certain personality traits, like agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and extraversion.
According to our results a valid questionnaire was introduced into the Hungarian test system, which can reliably measure global subjective well-being, as well as its specific components.
