The aim of the work was to develop and validate the COVID-19 Risk Perception Scale (CoRP), a brief self-report questionnaire for individuals' perceptions of risk in the COVID-19 pandemic. Two studies were conducted in order to evaluate the new scale's psychometric properties. Study 1 included 269 Italian participants (77.3% female) to initially test the scale's structure and construct validity. Study 2 involved 1061 (76.2% female) Italians aged 18 to 80 years old and examined the structure of the scale, construct validity, and age invariance. Exploratory and Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the one-factor solution, and the structure of the scale was found to be invariant across age groups. The scale also demonstrated a high internal reliability. The CoRP correlated positively with the fear of COVID-19 scale, and low with the Impact of Event and distressing phenomena as measured by GHQ. The present work thus affirms that the CoRP is a valid instrument for measuring individuals' risk perception of COVID-19.
这项工作的目的是开发并验证新冠疫情风险认知量表（CoRP），这是一份针对个人对新冠疫情风险认知的简短自陈式问卷。为评估新量表的心理测量特性，开展了两项研究。研究1纳入了269名意大利参与者（77.3%为女性），初步测试量表的结构和结构效度。研究2涉及1061名年龄在18至80岁之间的意大利人（76.2%为女性），考察了量表的结构、结构效度和年龄不变性。探索性和验证性因素分析证实了单因素解决方案，且发现量表结构在不同年龄组中具有不变性。该量表还显示出较高的内部信度。CoRP与对新冠疫情的恐惧量表呈正相关，与事件影响量表以及由一般健康问卷（GHQ）测量的困扰现象呈低相关。因此，本研究证实CoRP是测量个人对新冠疫情风险认知的有效工具。
