The current study outlines the evaluation of the Slovak adaptation of the fifteen-item Revised Social Anhedonia Scale-Brief (RSAS-B). The final sample consisted of 1287 university students, of whom 75.71% were women (a mean age of 22.62 ± 4.01). The factor structure, construct validity and reliability were examined. The results demonstrate the sound psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the RSAS-B. McDonald's omega was 0.79 and Cronbach's was 0.79, both indicating the good reliability of the scale. The confirmatory factor analysis supported a one-factor solution as the adequate model in the non-clinical sample. The RSAS-B scores were positively related to other measures of psychopathology, including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item, the Social Anxiety Disorder Dimensional Scale, and the Social Functioning Scale. The normative data were developed separately for men and women. The RSAS-B can be used as an adequate screening method to determine the social anhedonia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
