This study was aimed at validating the simplified Chinese version of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Support (MSPSS-SCV) among a group of medical and dental students in University Malaya. Two hundred and two students who took part in this study were given the MSPSS-SCV, the Medical Outcome Study social support survey, the Malay version of the Beck Depression Inventory, the Malay version of the General Health Questionnaire, and the English version of the MSPSS. After 1 week, these students were again required to complete the MSPSS-SCV but with the item sequences shuffled. This scale displayed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .924), high test-retest reliability (.71), parallel form reliability (.92; Spearman's ρ, P < .01), and validity. In conclusion, the MSPSS-SCV demonstrated sound psychometric properties in measuring social support among a group of medical and dental students. It could therefore be used as a simple screening tool among young educated Malaysian adolescents.
本研究旨在验证中文版简化版领悟社会支持量表（MSPSS-SCV）在马来亚大学一群医科和牙科学生中的有效性。参与本研究的202名学生接受了MSPSS-SCV、医学结局研究社会支持调查、马来语版贝克抑郁量表、马来语版一般健康问卷以及英文版MSPSS。1周后，这些学生再次被要求完成MSPSS-SCV，但项目顺序被打乱。该量表显示出极佳的内部一致性（克朗巴哈α系数=.924）、高重测信度（.71）、平行效度（.92；斯皮尔曼ρ系数，P<.01）和效度。总之，MSPSS-SCV在测量一群医科和牙科学生的社会支持方面表现出良好的心理测量特性。因此，它可以作为马来西亚年轻受教育青少年的一种简单筛查工具。
