The purpose of this study was to establish a survey instrument to measure Chinese parents' level of actions in their children's private music classes. I adopted Fung's framework of change and human actions as the theoretical support for a model of parents' level of actions. Parents of 5- to 12-year-old children ( = 894) from 20 different provinces in China were surveyed on their level of involvement (i.e., proactivity, passivity, and avoidance) in their children's private music education. Seven factors were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis, which were then consolidated into a 3-factor solution. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated an adequate model fit for the data collected from the Parents' Level of Action in Private Music Learning Scale. The results from correlation analyses revealed that (1) children's age had a direct but weak correlation with parents' proactivity and (2) parents' proactivity was positively associated with children's intention to take music lessons. The results of the repeated-measures ANOVA indicated that most Chinese parents in this study were proactively involved in their children's private music lessons. The findings from this study are consistent with the literature. Implications and recommendations are discussed, and suggestions for future research are included.
本研究的目的是建立一种调查工具，以衡量中国家长在孩子私人音乐课程中的行动水平。我采用了冯氏变革与人类行动框架作为家长行动水平模型的理论支持。对来自中国20个不同省份的5至12岁儿童的家长（= 894人）进行了调查，了解他们在孩子私人音乐教育中的参与程度（即积极性、消极性和回避性）。从探索性因素分析中提取了七个因素，然后合并为一个三因素解决方案。验证性因素分析表明，该模型与从《私人音乐学习中家长行动水平量表》收集的数据拟合良好。相关分析结果显示：（1）孩子的年龄与家长的积极性有直接但微弱的相关性；（2）家长的积极性与孩子上音乐课的意愿呈正相关。重复测量方差分析的结果表明，本研究中的大多数中国家长积极参与孩子的私人音乐课程。本研究结果与文献一致。讨论了研究的意义和建议，并包括了对未来研究的建议。
