摘要:This study examined the factorial invariance of the International Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Short-Form (I-PANASSF) (Thompson, 2007) across two cultures (i.e., France and Pakistan). The I-PANAS-SF is composed of two ten-item mood scales: one to measure positive affectivity and the other to measure negativity affectivity. Participants of this study included 423 university students from two national cultures: 111 from city of Aix-en-Provence, France (49 males, 62 females), and 310 from city of Quetta in the province of Balochistan, Pakistan (168 males and 142 females). Multigroup structural equation models were proposed in order to compare the factor structure of the I-PANAS-SF across two cultures. Results indicated that university students across the two cultural groups interpreted I-PANAS-SF 10 items in a similar manner regardless of their cultural backgrounds.
