The Symptom Checklist-K-9 (SCL-K-) was developed to assess general psychopathology based on self-reports on the symptoms of hostility, obsessive-compulsivity, depression, interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid tendencies, anxiety, somatization, phobic anxiety, psychoticism. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Russian SCL-K-9. The participants were 1079 respondents, including 543 women and 536 men aged 18 to 84 years (M = 41.39; SD = 12.38). Data collection was carried out with the help of the company "Anketolog". The participants filled out the Russian versions of the SCL-K-9 and Depressive, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). General psychopathology was more common in women and did not depend on the age of the respondents. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis pointed to the one-factor structure of the Russian version of SCL-K-9, which corresponds to the original structure of the questionnaire and confirms the factorial validity of the adapted instrument. A one-factor solution was found for the total sample and individual samples of men and women. The multigroup confirmatory factor analysis showed the configural, metric and scalar invariance of the Russian SCL-K-9 by gender of the respondents. The adapted instrument had high internal consistency (α-Cronbach = 0.903). The SCL-K-9 general psychopathology scores were statistically significantly positively correlated with depression, anxiety and stress scores according to DASS-21, which confirmed the convergent validity of the adapted instrument. In conclusion, the psychometric validity of the Russian version of SCL-K-9, has possible use for research purposes, but there is a need for further psychometric testing in clinical settings.
