Although the Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale (RCBS; Cheek, 1983) is widely used, its psychometric properties largely are unknown. In this investigation, we examined the normative data, factor structure, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent/discriminant validity of the RCBS using a sample of 261 university students. Results provided strong support for the stability of normative data over time, reliability of the measure, and its predicted associations with contemporary measures of shyness, social anxiety, and related constructs. Although support was obtained for a unifactorial conceptualization of shyness, an exploratory factor analysis revealed an alternative 3-factor solution that was supportive of a previously proposed meta-analytic model of shyness (Jones, Briggs, & Smith, 1986) and was consistent with other prominent shyness theories (Buss, 1980; Pilkonis, 1977a, 1977b; Zimbardo, 1977). This factor model was replicable on a holdout sample, and there were some data to support the discriminant validity of factors.
尽管修订后的《脸颊与巴斯羞怯量表》（RCBS；Cheek，1983）被广泛使用，但其心理测量特性在很大程度上仍不为人知。在本研究中，我们使用261名大学生样本，检验了RCBS的常模数据、因子结构、内部一致性、重测信度以及聚合效度/区分效度。结果为常模数据随时间的稳定性、该测量方法的信度以及它与当代羞怯、社交焦虑及相关构念测量方法的预测关联提供了有力支持。尽管为羞怯的单因素概念化提供了支持，但探索性因子分析揭示了另一种三因素解决方案，该方案支持先前提出的羞怯元分析模型（Jones、Briggs和Smith，1986），并与其他著名的羞怯理论（Buss，1980；Pilkonis，1977a，1977b；Zimbardo，1977）一致。该因子模型在保留样本上具有可重复性，并且有一些数据支持各因子的区分效度。
