Introduction
The 8-item Stress Mindset Measure-General (SMM-G) is an instrument designed to assess stress-is-enhancing and stress-is-debilitating mindsets. The stress-is-enhancing stress mindset positively correlates with well-being indices and work productivity and negatively correlates with depression and anxiety scores. Mindset could be changed after a psychological, psychoeducational, or psychotherapeutic intervention.
Objectives
We aim to adapt the SMM-G for adolescents and to explore its factor structure and psychometric properties in a sample of Russian students.
Methods
A total of 564 Russian students (337 men, 229 women) from 9 universities aged 17 to 23 years (М=19,9) participated in the study. We computed reliability indicators, conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
Results
Psychometric indicators are shown in Table 1. As a result of EFA (maximum likelihood, varimax rotation), two factors (eigenvalues 3,430 and 1,645) were extracted, accounting for 42,9% and 20,6% explained variance. Then, we tested the proposed model via CFA (Table 2).Table 1.
Psychometric indicators
| Mean value ± std | Cronbach`s alpha | Test-retest reliability (n=179, one month between assessments) |
|---|---|---|
| 1,175±0,165 | 0,805 | 0,563 |
The first factor includes all odd-numbered questions, while the second factor contains all even-numbered questions. This is consistent with the questionnaire’s structure, leading to a natural interpretation of factors as the stress-is-enhancing and stress-is-debilitating mindsets.Table 2.
CFA results
| Fit indices | Acceptable values | One-Factor Model | Two-Factor Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| CMIN/DF | ≤5 | 7,516 | 4,298 |
| GFI | ≥0,9 | 0,895 | 0,959 |
| AGFI | ≥0,9 | 0,828 | 0,902 |
| CFI | ≥0,9 | 0,680 | 0,890 |
| RMSEA | ≤0,08 | 0,107 | 0,076 |
Conclusions
Russian adaptation of SMM-G has shown good psychometric characteristics and constitutes a useful assessment instrument.
