AB - The Cross-Cultural Loss
Scale (CCLS), a measure of loss associated with crossing national boundaries,
was developed across 2 samples of international students. With Sample 1 (N =
262), exploratory factor analyses were used to select the 14 CCLS items and
to determine 3 factors: Belonging-Competency, National Privileges, and Access
to Home Familiarity. With Sample 2, confirmatory factor analyses (N = 256)
cross-validated the 3-factor oblique model as well as a bifactor model.
Cronbach’s alpha and omega (Brunner, Nagy, & Wilhelm, 2012) of both the
CCLS total scale and the three CCLS subscales were acceptable to good and
indicate that unweighted sum and mean scores can be computed. The validity of
the CCLS scores was supported by its associations with related variables in the
expected directions. Perceived cross-cultural losses were positively associated
with negative affect, migration grief and loss, and discrimination and were
negatively associated with life satisfaction, positive affect, general
self-efficacy, and social connection with mainstream society. Moreover, the
CCLS total and 2 subscale scores added significant incremental variance in
predicting subjective well-being over and above related constructs. The results
indicated measurement invariance and validity equivalency for the CCLS scores
between men and women.
