中國青少年積極發展量表是一個多維度的測評青少年發展過程中積極特性(即品格、能力、自信和聯結)的量表,共98個項目。為提高量表的應用推廣性,本研究基于一個大樣本數據(n=16317, M年齡=13.13歲,SD=2.52歲)創建了一個該量表的簡化版本。通過一系列的驗證性因素分析、項目篩選、信效度檢驗以及交叉驗證,簡化后量表共48個項目。結果顯示,簡版量表與原始完整版量表有足夠的概念重合度和剖面相似性,且具有可以接受的信效度和測量結構的等值性。

The Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale(CPYDS) is a 98-item multidimensional measure of adolescents’ positive attributes(i.e., character, competence, confidence, and connection). Yet, its application was limited by length. In the present study, by using a large sample(n=16317, Mage=13.13, SD=2.52), we created and validated a 48-item short version of the scale(CPYDS-S)through a series of CFA models, item selection, reliability and validity analyses and cross-validation. The results indicated that the CPYDS-S possessed enough conceptual overlap and profile similarity to the original one. Also, the CPYDS-S exhibited acceptable reliability, validity, and measurement invariance.
