ABSTRACT Identity distress occurs within a variety of psychiatric conditions. Reliable tools for assessing identity-related functioning among clinical populations are greatly needed. The Self-Concept and Identity Measure (SCIM) is a brief self-report scale designed to assess healthy and disturbed identity dimensions. This measure has been validated within normative but not treatment-seeking samples. The present study used an a priori confirmatory approach to replicate the SCIM’s factor structure among disadvantaged women enrolled in treatment for chemical dependence (N = 216). The original three-factor structure and item loadings generally replicated within this diagnostically diverse, significantly impaired sample. Higher SCIM scores were also associated with other problems, such as emotion dysregulation and depression. Results support the SCIM’s use and scoring with clinical populations.

在寻求治疗的样本中复制自我概念和身份测量 (SCIM)

摘要 身份困扰发生在各种精神疾病中。非常需要用于评估临床人群身份相关功能的可靠工具。自我概念和身份测量 (SCIM) 是一个简短的自我报告量表，旨在评估健康和不安的身份维度。该措施已在规范但未在寻求治疗的样本中得到验证。本研究使用先验验证方法在参加化学依赖治疗的弱势妇女（N = 216）中复制 SCIM 的因素结构。原始的三因素结构和项目负载通常在这个诊断多样化、显着受损的样本中复制。较高的 SCIM 分数还与其他问题有关，例如情绪失调和抑郁。
