Abstract

The Dual Continua Model (DCM) views mental health and mental illness as two separate but related constructs. The current study was designed to assess the factor structure and concurrent validity of this DCM with an intercollegiate sport sample. The 2022 Canadian cohort (N = 345; 65% female) of the National College Health Assessment completed the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, the Kessler K6, the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, and the UCLA Loneliness Scale. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of obliquely related factors of mental health and illness showed strong fit of the model to the data (CFI = 0.997; RMSEA = 0.027). ANOVAs comparing different sub-groups within the DCM showed that resilience and loneliness differed among groups according to their levels of mental health and/or illness in manners consistent with the model.

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
