Validation of the factor structure of the Experiences Questionnaire using Exploratory Graph Analysis by Lena Rader, Barbara Drueke, Saskia Doreen Forster, Siegfried Gauggel, Verena Mainz

“…Furthermore, a high convergent validity of the EQ was established, as the AS factor exhibited a significantly stronger correlation with self-esteem than the DP factor (z = 7.98, p < 0.001), which aligns with theoretical considerations suggesting that the AS factor encompasses aspects of self-compassion alongside decentering. We also found measurement invariance of the DP and AS factor across age, gender and country but not for education.DiscussionThese results support the EQ’s validity, demonstrated in a larger sample with a new methodology, aligning with existing two-factor decentering models literature.…”
