This longitudinal study aimed to develop a nine-item Brief Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (BSAWS) derived from the original 40-item Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS).
The psychometric properties of the shortened scale were evaluated based on a sample of 157 older adults. The factor structure and dimensionality of the original SAWS were examined using confirmatory factor analysis. Subsequent explorative factor analysis of the BSAWS supported the construct validity of the shortened scale.
The internal consistency, convergent validity and construct validity of the shortened scale were also evaluated and the results indicated that the BSAWS possesses good psychometric properties and is comparable with the full version.
This scale refinement may help researchers and practitioners conduct epistemological surveys or clinical research related to wisdom.
本纵向研究旨在从原始的 40 项自我评估智慧量表（SAWS）中开发出一个九项简短自我评估智慧量表（BSAWS）。
根据 157 名老年人的样本，评估了缩短量表的心理测量特性。使用验证性因子分析检验了原始 SAWS 的因子结构和维度。BSAWS 的后续探索性因子分析支持缩短量表的结构效度。
还评估了缩短量表的内部一致性、收敛效度和构念效度，结果表明 BSAWS 具有良好的心理测量特性，并且与完整版本相当。
这种量表的细化可能有助于研究人员和从业者进行与智慧相关的认识论调查或临床研究。
