An Examination of the Factor Structure of the Trauma Inventory for Partners of Sex Addicts (TIPSA)
Abstract
The Trauma Inventory for Partners of Sex Addicts (TIPSA) was hypothesized to have a latent factor structure that mirrors the core criteria for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Data were gathered from 3,199 self-selected respondents, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed in order to substantiate the hypothesized structure. Several modifications were made to the model, based on factor loadings and modification indices, in order to improve goodness-of-fit. In addition to the hypothesized model, 3 other factor models were also examined. Recommendations for revision of items contained in the TIPSA, as well as evaluation of additional psychometric properties, are also included.

In the citing paper
“The first psychometric studies of the TIPSA were completed in 2017, including both an item response theory (IRT) analysis of the individual items (Stokes, 2017), and a factor analysis comparing the latent factor structure of the TIPSA to the conceptual/criteria structure of PTSD (Vogeler et al., 2018).”

In the citing paper
“As previous studies regarding the TIPSA utilized all-female samples (see Stokes, 2017; Vogeler et al., 2018), the same condition was selected as an inclusion criterion for the current study.”

In the citing paper
“Evidence for this standard was established in a previous study that examined the factor structure of the TIPSA in comparison to the criteria structure for diagnosing PTSD (Vogeler et al., 2018).”

In the citing paper
“The underlying factor structure of the TIPSA mirrors that of the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosing PTSD, and each item is designed to elicit responses that correlate with these criteria (Vogeler et al., 2018).”
From Assessing the Validity of the Trauma Inventory for Partners of Sex Addicts (TIPSA) (2020) · cites this paper as Vogeler et al., 2018
In the citing paper
“The results from these studies indicated positive psychometric properties of the TIPSA based on the fit statistics from the confirmatory factor analysis and suggested that additional studies be conducted to further substantiate the psychometric properties, specifically in regards to the instrument's validity and reliability.”
From Assessing the Validity of the Trauma Inventory for Partners of Sex Addicts (TIPSA) (2020) · cites this paper as Vogeler et al., 2018
In the citing paper
“After its initial creation, Skinner modified the TIPSA to match the five diagnostic categories of PTSD as outlined in DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association, 2000; Vogeler et al., 2018).”

In the citing paper
“However, recent research suggests a trauma model may be more appropriate when conceptualizing symptoms and working with these individuals (Schneider, Weiss, & Samenow, 2012; Steffens & Rennie, 2006; Vogeler et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
