Drawing from Erikson's theory, Domino and Affonso constructed the Inventory of Psychosocial Balance (IPB), a scale with satisfactory reliability and validity. However, the lack of a credible Chinese version of the scale may hinder research on ego development in Taiwan. The aim of the present study was to construct a short form Chinese IPB. In addition, factor analysis was employed to shorten the original 120-item scale to make it suitable for application in the older adults in the future.
The study involved three steps: The first step was to establish the 120-items of the Chinese Inventory of Psychosocial Balance (C-IPB), and we conducted translation, back-translation, expert validity, and reliability of pilot study for this step. Following the first step was to construct the short-form C-IPB (CIPB-SF) in the second step, and the CIPB-SF was developed item analysis and factor analysis. Finally, we assessed the reliability and validity of the CIPB-SF structural equation model in the third step.
Three hundred eight older adults without cognitive disorder completed the IPB. The 40-item CIPB-SF was completed through item analysis and factor analysis. The internal consistency test of CIPB-SF and the eight stages were good (Cronbach's α = 0.81-0.89). The CIPB-SF had acceptable validity, except in the intimacy and identity stages, in which validity was only fair. Compared with the IPB, the CIPB-SF had good reliability and acceptable validity. However, because of its conciseness, the 40-item CIPB-SF was more suited for application among the Chinese elderly population because its application avoids physical overload.
The CIPB-SF served as a concise scale for assessing ego development in our study. This scale can also serve as a useful tool for convenient screening in the future.
借鉴埃里克森的理论，多米诺和阿方索构建了心理社会平衡量表（IPB），该量表具有令人满意的信效度。然而，缺乏可信的中文版量表可能会阻碍台湾地区自我发展的研究。本研究的目的是构建中文版简短版IPB。此外，采用因素分析来缩短原始的120个条目的量表，使其适合未来在老年人中应用。
该研究包括三个步骤：第一步是建立中文版心理社会平衡量表（C-IPB）的120个条目，我们为此步骤进行了翻译、回译、专家效度和预试验的信度检验。第一步之后，在第二步构建简短版C-IPB（CIPB-SF），通过项目分析和因素分析来开发CIPB-SF。最后，在第三步中，我们使用结构方程模型评估CIPB-SF的信效度。
308名无认知障碍的老年人完成了IPB。通过项目分析和因素分析完成了40个条目的CIPB-SF。CIPB-SF及其八个阶段的内部一致性检验良好（克朗巴哈α系数=0.81-0.89）。CIPB-SF具有可接受的效度，除了亲密和同一性阶段，其效度仅为中等。与IPB相比，CIPB-SF具有良好的信度和可接受的效度。然而，由于其简洁性，40个条目的CIPB-SF更适合在中国老年人群中应用，因为其应用避免了身体负担过重。
在我们的研究中，CIPB-SF是一种用于评估自我发展的简洁量表。该量表也可作为未来方便筛查的有用工具。
