The factor structure of the 30-item Domain Specific Risk Taking Attitude (DOSPERT) scale (Blais & Weber, 2006) was examined with a convenience sample of 205 Chinese undergraduate students from Macao. A comparison of five competing models via confirmatory factor analysis yielded empirical support for the perspective that risk-taking attitude was content-dependent. After removing the items in the Financial subscale of the DOSPERT scale and some post hoc modifications, a reasonably good fit to the four-correlated-factor model was achieved, in concordance with the theoretical framework. However, items in some scales needed further revision to purify their factor structure so that the DOSPERT scale would be a more psychometrically sound measure for investigating one's risk-taking attitudes in different life domains.
我们使用了来自澳门的205名中国本科生的便利样本，对30项特定领域冒险态度量表（DOSPERT）（布莱斯和韦伯，2006年）的因子结构进行了检验。通过验证性因子分析对五个竞争模型进行比较，结果为冒险态度取决于内容这一观点提供了实证支持。在删除了DOSPERT量表财务子量表中的项目并进行了一些事后修正后，该量表与四相关因子模型达到了合理的良好拟合，这与理论框架一致。然而，一些量表中的项目需要进一步修订以纯化其因子结构，以便DOSPERT量表在调查一个人在不同生活领域的冒险态度时成为一个在心理测量上更合理的测量工具。
