The Affective Style Questionnaire(ASQ) developed by Hofmann and Kashdan(2010), is a 20-item self-report inventory to simply measure three affective style: adjusting, concealing, tolerating. The present study conducted to examine the factor structure, reliability and validity of the Korean version of the ASQ(K-ASQ). In Study 1, We translated ASQ into Korean and then assessed the factor structure of the K-ASQ with exploratory factor analyses on the data of 389 undergraduate samples. As a result, three factor solution was revealed - labeled ‘adjusting’, ‘concealing’, and ‘accepting and improving’. Using confirmatory factor analysis(CFA), we compare a goodness of fit of different factor models: correlated three-factor and correlated 2-factor models, and a correlated 3-factor model with three correlated error-terms, as well as two different 3-factor models and correlated 4-factor model reported in previous studies. The results of CFA indicated that the revised correlated 3-factor model provided the best fit to the first sample. The internal consistency was acceptable for adjusting and concealing subscales. but was relatively lower for accepting and improving subscale. The aim of Study 2 was to cross-validate the factor structure and psychometric properties of the K-ASQ using a new sample of 437 university students. The CFA results indicated that the revised correlated 3-factor model had a better fit than the other models. Adjusting and Concealing subscales showed adequate internal consistency, acceptable test-retest reliability over two-week period, good convergent, discriminant and criterion-related validity. In terms of incremental validity, adjusting subscale was acceptable, whereas concealing subscale was weak. For accepting and improving subscale, internal consistency and test-retest reliability were low, the convergent, discriminant and criterion-related validities were relatively acceptable. In conclusion, these results provide support for the 3 factor structure of the K-ASQ, as well as reliability and validity of adjusting and concealing subscales. However, further study is needed to reexamine the reliability and validity of accepting and improving subscale after adding other items tapping the construct under Asian culture.
