Psychometric properties of the MSPSS in older adults
Abstract
Enhanced social support is associated with increased physical and psychological health among the elderly. Although measures of social support generally are used as predictors of wellbeing, they also may be useful as outcome assessments to evaluate breadth of treatment effects. Perceived adequacy of the support network may be most relevant in this regard given its relationship to affective symptomatology. One measure of this component that has been used with older adults is the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS: Zimet et al ., 1988). However, no study has examined the psychometric properties of the MSPSS in older individuals with well-diagnosed psychiatric disorders, and no normative data are available from older adults selected carefully to be free of diagnosable pathology. The current study examined the psychometric properties of the MSPSS in two groups of older adults (ages 55-82), one with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD, N = 50) and the other without diagnosable psychopathology (n = 94). Perceived social support was higher among normal control (NC) participants than patients with GAD. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were strong, and sub-scale validity and factor analyses demonstrated consistency with findings from younger adults. Overall, the MSPSS appears useful for clinical trials with older anxious adults.

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.
