| Summary: |
This study constitutes the first psychometric examination of the German-language version of the Compensatory Health Belief (CHB) scale to assess the belief that unhealthy behavior can be compensated for by engaging in healthy behavior. Data from four different Swiss samples of 1,571 adolescents/students (age range 15 – 55 years), collected between 2007 and 2009, were used. Confirmatory factor analysis did not support either the hypothesized 4-factor structure or a second-order factor structure with a latent overall variable for the German-language CHB scale. These results support the inconsistent patterns of CHBs found across European cultures. Thus, the development of behavior-specific scales might be of advantage. Further recommendations for an improvement of the measurement of compensatory health beliefs are discussed.

| Summary in another language: |
Kompensatorische Gesundheitsüberzeugungen (CHB) werden definiert als der Glaube, dass man negative Gesundheitsfolgen einer ungesunden Verhaltensweise durch das Ausführen eines gesunden Verhaltens kompensieren kann. Diese Studie überprüfte erstmalig die psychometrischen Eigenschaften der deutschen Skala zur Messung kompensatorischer Gesundheitsüberzeugungen anhand von vier unterschiedlichen in der Schweiz zwischen 2007 und 2009 erhobenen Stichproben. Insgesamt nahmen 1571 Jugendliche bzw. Schüler/innen (15 – 55 Jahre) teil. Konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen konnten sowohl für die angenommene Vier-Faktoren-Struktur als auch für einen übergeordneten Faktor zweiter Ordnung keine Bestätigung finden. Diese Ergebnisse stützen die inkonsistenten Befunde bezüglich der CHB Faktor-Struktur in verschiedenen europäischen Ländern. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse wird empfohlen, statt einer generellen CHB Skala verhaltensspezifische Skalen zu entwickeln. Darüber hinaus werden weitere Empfehlungen für eine Verbesserung der Messung der kompensatorischen Gesundheitsüberzeugungen diskutiert.
