Data_Sheet_1_Validation of the schema coping inventory for dysfunctional coping strategies.docx

IntroductionAccording to the theoretical model of Schema Therapy, each human being has basic needs that require natural satisfaction from childhood. When these emotional needs are frustrated, early maladaptive schemas (EMS) develop, leading to coping styles that are strategies to manage the pain caused by activated EMS. The study validates and standardizes the Schema Coping Inventory in the Italian population and evaluates correlations between psychological variables and the SCI.
MethodsWe analysed data from a community sample of 602 Italian adults, aged between 18 and 69 years, who endorsed a structured questionnaire, involving demographic information, the Italian version of the SCI, and an array of theoretically related psychological constructs.
Results and discussionConfirmative factor analysis corroborated the tridimensional structure of the SCI (Surrender, Avoidance, Overcompensation), both in terms of the overall goodness-of-fit of the model and the single items’ factor loading in the corresponding factors. The internal consistency turned out to be satisfactory. Construct validity was assessed through convergent and divergent (positive and negative) correlations with other coping style measures and psychopathological scales. Mean values and mean standard deviations are reported for the general population, for psychopathological clinical and non-pathological samples.

引言：根据图式疗法（Schema Therapy）的理论模型，每个人自童年阶段便拥有需自然满足的基本需求。当此类情感需求遭受挫败时，个体将形成早期适应不良图式（Early Maladaptive Schemas, EMS），进而发展出应对风格——即用于缓解被激活的早期适应不良图式所引发痛苦的策略。本研究针对意大利人群对图式应对量表（Schema Coping Inventory, SCI）进行验证与标准化，并探讨心理变量与SCI之间的相关性。
方法：本研究分析了602名年龄介于18至69岁的意大利社区成人样本数据，所有受试者均完成了结构化问卷填写，问卷内容涵盖人口统计学信息、意大利版SCI，以及一系列理论关联的心理构念。
结果与讨论：验证性因子分析（Confirmative Factor Analysis）证实了SCI的三维结构（屈服、回避、过度补偿），无论是模型整体拟合优度，还是各条目在对应因子上的因子载荷均符合要求。内部一致性表现良好。本研究通过与其他应对方式量表及精神病理量表的会聚性与发散性（正、负）相关分析，评估了结构效度。本研究报告了普通人群、精神病理临床样本与非病理样本的平均值及平均标准差。
