doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2026.01.013

Abstract

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a home literacy environment scale suitable for Chinese primary school students. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1,654 parents of primary school students using the self-developed scale, followed by item analysis and reliability and validity testing. The results indicated that the scale consists of 7 dimensions with 30 items. The internal consistency reliability, structural validity, and criterion-related validity of the scale met psychometric requirements. The scale demonstrated measurement invariance across boys and girls and was significantly correlated with reading behaviors. The Home Literacy Environment Scale developed in this study exhibits good reliability and validity, making it an effective tool for assessing the home literacy environment of primary school students in China.

Key words: home literacy environment, primary school students, scale development, reliability, validity

摘要： 本研究旨在编制一份适合中国小学生的家庭读写环境量表。使用自编量表对1654名小学生家长进行问卷调查，进行项目分析与信效度检验。结果显示，家庭读写环境量表共7个维度30个项目。量表的内部一致性信度、结构效度、效标效度均符合心理测量学要求，且在男孩、女孩中具有跨性别测量等值性，与阅读行为显著相关。本研究编制的小学生家庭读写环境量表具有良好的信效度，可作为评估我国小学生家庭读写环境的有效工具。
