Abstract
Two studies examined the generalizability of the Problem Solving Inventory (PSI; P. P. Heppner, 1988) through research with Black South African samples. Study 1 examined the generalizability of the factor structure of the PSI through confirmatory factor analysis. Study 2 examined the relationship between problem solving and psychological distress and tested a Problem-Solving Confidence mediational model of psychological distress through structural equation modeling. The estimates of the factor structure as well as other reliability and validity estimates provided strong support for the generalizability of the PSI to South African Black college students. The results also provided partial support for the mediational model of psychological distress.
