Abstract
Factor Structure of Slovak Adaptation of Attentional Control Scale
Highlights
Three items with highest loadings on first component (Table 1) were item 3 (“When I’m working hard on something, I still get distracted by events around me”), item 2 (“When I need to concentrate and solve a problem, I have trouble focusing my attention”) and item 7 (“When trying to focus my attention on something, I have difficulty blocking out distracting thoughts”)
Using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on an independent sample, we found that from amongst one-factorial and two-factorial orthogonal solutions, the two-factorial model with correlated factors suggested by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) fitted the data best
We found a weak correlation between the Shifting subscale and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T), we did not measure levels of depressive symptoms and so we could not control for their shared variance, which is generally assumed between these two constructs
Summary
The aim of the current study is to verify the hypothesized two-factor structure of the ACS on a Slovak sample and to provide more suitable reliability estimates of the tool
