Abstract
Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help ScaleShort Form (ATSPPHSF) is a commonly used measure of mental health treatment attitudes, but its reliability and validity in an Arabicspeaking population have yet to be established. The purpose of this study is to examine the theoretical structure and the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of ATSPPHSF among university students. A sample of 519 students completed the study. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the factor structure of ATSPPHSF. The relationship between the ATSPPHSF and stigma toward mental illness were explored to examine the convergent validity. The results indicate that the 10item ATSPPHSF had a singlefactor structure. Additionally, the ATSPPHSF had shown an evidence of adequate internal consistency reliability and convergent validity. This preliminary study supports using the Arabic version of the 10item ATSPPHSF. 1. Corresponding author: Ahmed_rayan87@yahoo.com 24 Ahmad Rayan, Omar Baker, and Mirna Fawaz
寻求专业心理帮助态度量表(简称ATSPPHSF)是一种常用的心理健康治疗态度测量方法,但其在阿拉伯语人群中的信度和效度尚未建立。本研究的目的是探讨阿拉伯语版大学生ATSPPHSF的理论结构和心理测量特征。519名学生完成了这项研究。采用验证性因子分析评估ATSPPHSF的因子结构。探讨ATSPPHSF与精神疾病耻感的关系,检验其收敛效度。结果表明,10项ATSPPHSF具有单因子结构。此外,ATSPPHSF显示出足够的内部一致性信度和收敛效度的证据。这项初步研究支持使用10项ATSPPHSF的阿拉伯语版本。1. 通讯作者:Ahmed_rayan87@yahoo.com 24 Ahmad Rayan, Omar Baker, and Mirna Fawaz
