Abstract: 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.

摘要: 中国青少年积极发展量表是一个多维度的测评青少年发展过程中积极特性(即品格、能力、自信和联结)的量表,共98个项目。为提高量表的应用推广性,本研究基于一个大样本数据(n=16317, M年龄=13.13岁, SD=2.52岁)创建了一个该量表的简化版本。通过一系列的验证性因素分析、项目筛选、信效度检验以及交叉验证,简化后量表共48个项目。结果显示,简版量表与原始完整版量表有足够的概念重合度和剖面相似性,且具有可以接受的信效度和测量结构的等值性。
