Abstract

This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Haitian Creole version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) with a sample of 256 earthquake survivors in Haiti. The results showed the PTGI to have excellent internal consistency reliability for the total scale (α = .93) and acceptable levels of reliability for its subscales, ranging from α =.72 to α =.78. Independent t-tests revealed no statistically significant gender differences in scores on the PTGI total scale or the subscales. These findings suggest that the Haitian Creole version of the PTGI is adequate for the assessment of Haitian adults exposed to a natural disaster.

摘要

本研究以海地 256 名地震幸存者为样本，调查了海地克里奥尔语版本的创伤后成长量表 (PTGI) 的心理测量特性。结果表明，PTGI 对总量表具有出色的内部一致性信度 ( α = .93)，其子量表的信度可接受水平，范围从α =.72 到α =.78。独立 t 检验显示 PTGI 总量表或子量表的得分没有统计学上显着的性别差异。这些发现表明，海地克里奥尔语版本的 PTGI 足以评估遭受自然灾害的海地成年人。
