Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Government-Funded Normal University Students’ Identity Scale

doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2026.02.017

Abstract

Abstract: To develop the Government-Funded Normal University Students’ Identity Scale (GNUSIS) and assess its reliability and validity, we created an initial scale through interviews and by reviewing relevant measurement tools from both domestic and international sources. The scale was administered to government-funded normal university students. Based on item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis, the scale was refined. The final version of the GNUSIS consisted of three dimensions, that is, student, teacher, and promisor. Reliability testing showed strong internal consistency, split-half reliability, and test-retest reliability. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to evaluate measurement invariance, with results supporting invariance across gender at the configural, metric, scalar, and error variance levels. The GNUSIS meets psychometric criteria and can be effectively used to assess the identity of government-funded normal university students.

Key words: identity, government-funded normal university students, scale development

摘要： 编制公费师范生身份认同量表并检验其信效度。通过访谈并结合国内外相关测量工具编制初始量表，对在校公费师范生进行施测。基于项目分析、探索性因素分析、验证性因素分析修订初始量表，最终正式量表包含学生、教师和履约者3个维度。对正式量表进行信度检验，结果发现量表具有较高的内部一致性信度、分半信度和重测信度。基于多组验证性因素分析检验测量不变性，结果发现量表的性别不变性在形态等值、单位等值、尺度等值以及误差方差等值上均得到支持。该量表达到心理测量学要求，可以作为评估公费师范生身份认同的有效工具。
