Spanish STSS

Background / Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the adaptation to the Spanish population of the Silencing the Self Scale (STSS), assess its factorial structure, and analyze its associations with depression, risk of abuse of women, educational level, and having a partner. Method: After explicit consent, 535 women from all over Spain completed the STSS, the BDI-FS for depression and the WAST for abuse of women (n = 280). The STSS and BDI-FS were measured a second time with 165 of the participants. Results: The reliability of the STSS, measured by alpha coefficients, test-restest correlations, and ICC, showed good levels of consistency and stability. No factorial measurement model provided a good fit to the data, pointing out some items as especially problematic. Regarding sociodemographic variables, having a university education significantly reduces self-silencing scores, as does having a current partner. In terms of criterion validity, depression and the risk of experiencing an abusive relationship were significantly correlated with the subscales of the STSS, except for the Care as Self Sacrifice scale. A regression analysis showed that it is the Externalized Self Perception scale that significantly predicts depression scores, while the Divided Self scale significantly predicts abuse risk scores.研究背景与研究目的：本研究旨在评估自我沉默量表（Silencing the Self Scale, STSS）适配西班牙人群后的信度，验证其因子结构，并分析该量表与抑郁水平、女性受虐待风险、受教育程度以及是否拥有伴侣的关联。 方法：在获取书面知情同意后，来自西班牙全境的535名女性完成了自我沉默量表（STSS）、用于抑郁评估的贝克抑郁量表简版（BDI-FS）以及用于女性受虐待风险评估的女性虐待筛查量表（WAST），其中有效子样本量为280。其中165名参与者再次完成了自我沉默量表与贝克抑郁量表简版的测试。 结果：通过克朗巴赫α系数、重测相关系数以及组内相关系数（Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, ICC）评估的自我沉默量表信度，展现出良好的一致性与稳定性。未发现任何因子测量模型可较好适配本次调研数据，提示部分条目存在显著适配缺陷。在社会人口学变量方面，拥有大学及以上学历与当前拥有伴侣均能显著降低自我沉默得分。就效标效度而言，抑郁水平与亲密关系中的虐待风险均与自我沉默量表各子量表存在显著相关，唯有"自我牺牲式关怀"子量表除外。回归分析结果显示，外化自我感知子量表可显著预测抑郁得分，而分裂自我子量表则可显著预测虐待风险得分。
