Abstract: | The present study extended recent work examining the factor structure underlying the Wisconsin Schizotypy Scales by examining
the factor invariance of this structure in Spanish and American nonclinical samples of young adults. A series of confirmatory
factor analyses were conducted with 547 Spanish and 2,171 American young adults. Consistent with prior work, the best fitting
model in both samples was a two-factor model with positive and negative schizotypy dimensions. Furthermore, the factor structure
was invariant across the two samples. The findings support the construct validity of a multidimensional model of schizotypy
and the use of psychometric inventories to assess these dimensions. |
