摘要:AbstractBackground:Stress is an important variable of consequence, particularly in adolescence, a period of intense physical and psychological change. The measurement of stress in adolescence has been widely discussed, and a number of versions of the Adolescent Stress Questionnaire (ASQ) have been developed and validated. The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties (model fit, invariance, internal consistency, and construct validity) of the ASQ-S, which was recently developed in a Swedish context.Objective:The study was a secondary analysis of data gathered on the full ASQ. The ASQ-S retained nine of the ten ASQ scales, and a study in Swedish adolescents suggested that the scale was psychometrically valid, gender invariant, and that scores were internally consistent. This is the first study to examine the properties of the ASQ-S in an English-speaking population. Participants were high school children in the UK (N = 610, 61.0% girls) from school year 8 through 12.Results:Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed that the nine factor solution fit the data well (χ2s-b(288) = 751.60, CFI = 0.958, TLI = 0.948, SRMR = 0.040, RMSEA = 0.051 [90% CI = 0.047, 0.056
