Abstract

Research outside of India suggests that romantic partners can help one another cope with these stressors by engaging in dyadic coping; however, to date, there lacks an empirically validated self-report measure to assess perceptions of one’s own and their partner’s behaviors in the Indian cultural context. While the Dyadic Coping Inventory has been translated into 24 languages, it has not yet been validated for use with individuals in India. The purpose of this study was to translate and validate the DCI in Tamil, one of the widely spoken languages in India, using data from 931 (nmen = 431 men; nwomen = 500) married individuals in different-gender relationships. The factorial structure and measurement invariance (MI) were tested across genders (Indian men and women) and cultures (India, Switzerland, and the United States). Results supported the five-factor structure for the self and partner subscales and a two-factor structure for common dyadic coping. MI analysis indicated the DCI subscales showed configural, full metric and partial scalar invariance across gender (male vs. female in Indian sample) and culture (Indian vs. Swiss and Indian vs. the US). Implications for cross-cultural research and future directions are presented.

印度合作伙伴的二元应对:泰米尔语版本二元应对量表的心理测量特性和有效性

摘要

印度以外的研究表明,浪漫的伴侣可以通过二元应对来帮助彼此应对这些压力源。然而,迄今为止,还缺乏一种经过经验验证的自我报告措施来评估在印度文化背景下对自己及其伴侣行为的看法。虽然 Dyadic Coping Inventory 已被翻译成 24 种语言,但尚未经过验证可用于印度的个人。本研究的目的是使用来自 931 人的数据( n名男性= 431 名男性;n名女性)翻译和验证泰米尔语(印度广泛使用的语言之一)的 DCI= 500) 不同性别关系中的已婚人士。跨性别(印度男性和女性)和文化(印度、瑞士和美国)测试了因子结构和测量不变性 (MI)。结果支持自我和伴侣分量表的五因素结构和共同二元应对的二因素结构。MI 分析表明,DCI 子量表在性别(印度样本中的男性与女性)和文化(印度与瑞士以及印度与美国)之间显示出配置、完整度量和部分标量不变性。介绍了对跨文化研究和未来方向的影响。
