摘要：

This study examined the structure of the Spanish version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) among a sample of 122 undocumented Hispanic immigrants. The component structure of the scale was examined using principal components analysis (PCA). Contrary to the findings of the original three-subscale structure (Friends, Family, and Significant Other), the results yielded a two-subscale structure (Friends and Family/Significant Other), indicating a merging between two of the subscales. Internal consistency was examined and found the Spanish version of the MSPSS reliable. It appears that this version of the MSPSS is useful for undocumented Hispanic immigrants, given that the measure be used with two subscales as opposed to three.
