This study developed a measure of autonomy for adolescents in contemporary China. First, data from 44 interviewees-40 secondary school students, 2 parents, and 2 secondary school teachers-were used to explore the connotation and theoretical structure of autonomy in adolescents in China. Next, a preliminary Adolescent Autonomy Questionnaire was created from the interview data and administered to 775 secondary school students. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to verify the factor structure. Finally, 614 secondary school students completed the Adolescent Autonomy Questionnaire, Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II, and Adolescence Ego Identity Crisis Scale to evaluate criterion validity. The final version of the Adolescent Autonomy Questionnaire included 16 items and four subscales: autonomous decision-making, autonomous regulation, autonomous protection, and autonomous problem-solving. The total variance of the cumulative interpretation questionnaire was 62.54%. The CFA results showed that the four-factor model fits the data well: /df = 2.340, CFI = 0.949, RMSEA = 0.042, SRMR = 0.046. Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Adolescent Autonomy Questionnaire provided support for the reliability and validity of the measure. Thus, it serves as an effective measurement tool for assessing the autonomy of adolescents in China.
本研究开发了一种适用于当代中国青少年的自主性测量方法。首先，研究使用了来自44名受访者的数据——40名中学生、2名家长和2名中学教师——来探究中国青少年自主性的内涵和理论结构。接下来，根据访谈数据编制了一份初步的青少年自主性问卷，并对775名中学生进行了施测。进行了探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析（CFA）以验证因素结构。最后，614名中学生完成了青少年自主性问卷、个人成长主动性量表-II和青少年自我认同危机量表，以评估效标效度。青少年自主性问卷的最终版本包括16个项目和四个子量表：自主决策、自主调节、自主保护和自主解决问题。累积解释问卷的总方差为62.54%。CFA结果表明，四因素模型与数据拟合良好：χ²/df = 2.340，CFI = 0.949，RMSEA = 0.042，SRMR = 0.046。对青少年自主性问卷心理测量特性的评估为该测量方法的信度和效度提供了支持。因此，它是评估中国青少年自主性的一种有效测量工具。
