Despite a few hypothesized associations between revenge and suicide in the suicide literature, the potential of revenge as a multidimensional construct related to suicide has remained unexplored. Using data from undergraduate samples across 2 studies, we examined support for the psychometric properties and nomological network of scores on the Multidimensional Revenge Attitudes Inventory-21 (MRAI-21), a new self-report instrument composed of 3 dimensions: craving for revenge, revenge rumination, and suicide-related revenge. Results from Study 1 (N = 510), suggested that a 3-factor oblique solution obtained through contemporary factor analytic methods provided the best fit for the sample data. Estimates of internal consistency reliability for the MRAI-21 scale scores were above .90. In Study 2 (N = 380), we examined internal consistency reliability estimates for 6 concurrent self-report measures and conducted convergent validity analyses using latent variable modeling with scores on the MRAI-21 and concurrent measures. Results showed that scores on all instruments had adequate estimates of reliability and revealed a unique network of correlates for each of the MRAI-21 scale scores. Findings suggest that revenge can be measured as a multidimensional construct within the context of suicide; future directions and clinical implications are discussed.

评估多维复仇态度清单 21 的心理测量特性。

尽管在自杀文献中复仇和自杀之间存在一些假设关联，但复仇作为与自杀相关的多维结构的潜力仍未得到探索。使用来自 2 项研究的本科生样本数据，我们检查了对多维复仇态度 Inventory-21 (MRAI-21) 的心理测量特性和得分规律网络的支持，这是一种由 3 个维度组成的新自我报告工具：复仇的渴望，复仇沉思和与自杀有关的复仇。研究 1 (N = 510) 的结果表明，通过当代因子分析方法获得的 3 因子斜解为样本数据提供了最佳拟合。MRAI-21 量表分数的内部一致性可靠性估计值高于 0.90。在研究 2（N = 380）中，我们检查了 6 个并发自我报告测量的内部一致性可靠性估计，并使用潜在变量模型进行收敛效度分析，并在 MRAI-21 和并发测量上得分。结果表明，所有仪器的分数都有足够的可靠性估计，并揭示了每个 MRAI-21 量表分数的独特关联网络。研究结果表明，复仇可以作为自杀背景下的多维结构来衡量；讨论了未来的方向和临床意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。结果表明，所有仪器的分数都有足够的可靠性估计，并揭示了每个 MRAI-21 量表分数的独特关联网络。研究结果表明，复仇可以作为自杀背景下的多维结构来衡量；讨论了未来的方向和临床意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。结果表明，所有仪器的分数都有足够的可靠性估计，并揭示了每个 MRAI-21 量表分数的独特关联网络。研究结果表明，复仇可以作为自杀背景下的多维结构来衡量；讨论了未来的方向和临床意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
