The primary goal of the present study was to examine the latent factor structure and measurement invariance (MI) of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory-Child Version (YPI-CV) in a sample of Chinese children. 299 school children (aged 9–12, 47.3% female) completed the Chinese version of the YPI-CV, and their parents completed a different measure of psychopathic traits, as well as ones for other measures: the Child Problematic Traits Inventory (CPTI), the Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ), and the Social Competence – Parent Version (SCPV). Results showed that a bifactor model at item level fit the data best and was invariant across gender. Specifically, the general psychopathy factor influenced the 18 items strongly, suggesting that the YPI-CV is unidimensional rather than multidimensional. Overall, findings suggest that the bifactor structure of the YPI-CV should be used when examining relationships with outcome variables in Chinese children, with a focus on the total score of the YPI-CV, while factor scores should explain with caution.
Subjective well-being (SWB) is an indicator for the resistance of crisis situations and the promotion of employees' life quality. In the present research, we examined a moderated mediation model of SWB among 197 young teachers (faculty members) who were working in different universities of mainland China. The results suggested that the slow strategy of life history (slow-LHS) mediates the positive relationship between family involvement (FI) and SWB. Slow-LHS also mediated the relationship between SWB and the interaction of FI Â Ability to Focus on Work (AFW). Moreover, AFW moderates the simple mediation model of FI ! slow-LHS ! SWB. Compared with the high level (þ1 SD) of AFW, such a model is more likely to be significant on the medium (0 SD) and low level (À1 SD) of AFW. Therefore, the predictive effect of FI on SWB through the mediation role of slow-LHS can be seen
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
