Although prosocial behavior plays an important role in the development of individuals, there are few prosocial measurements for college students. This study examines the applicability of the Prosocialness Scale for Adults to a sample of Chinese college students and provides a measurement tool for prosocial behavior among Chinese college students.
Three sub-studies were conducted in this study to revise the Prosocialness Scale for Adults (PSA) and verify its applicability in Chinese college students. In Study 1, the translated Prosocialness Scale for Adults (PSA) was used to test (N = 436). In Study 2, confirmatory factor analysis was carried out (N = 576). The Scale of School Adjustment for College Students, the Scale of Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy, the Prosocial Tendencies Measure, and the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory were used to test the concurrent validity. And the internal consistency reliability of the scale was tested. In Study 3, the test-retest reliability of the scale was tested 4 weeks after the completion of Study 2.
The results show that the scale has a good single-factor structure (χ2/df = 4.180, CFI = 0.936, TLI = 0.922, GFI = 0.937, IFI = 0.937, NFI = 0.919, AGFI = 0.907, RMSEA = 0.074, SRMR = 0.042). The total score was positively correlated with the scores of the Scale of Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy (r = 0.394, p < 0.001), the Scale of School Adjustment for College Students (r = 0.429, p < 0.001), the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory (r = 0.456, p < 0.001) ,and the Prosocial Tendencies Measure (r = 0.619, p < 0.001). The internal consistency reliability was robust (α = 0.890) and the test-retest reliability was 0.801.
These studies show that the Chinese version of the Prosocialness Scale for Adults (PSA) has good reliability and validity and can be used to measure the prosocial behavior of Chinese college students.
尽管亲社会行为在个体发展中起着重要作用，但针对大学生的亲社会行为测量工具却很少。本研究旨在检验成人亲社会量表（PSA）在中国大学生样本中的适用性，并为中国大学生的亲社会行为提供一种测量工具。
本研究共进行了三项子研究，以修订成人亲社会量表（PSA）并验证其在中国大学生中的适用性。在研究 1 中，使用翻译后的成人亲社会量表（PSA）对 436 名被试进行测试。在研究 2 中，进行了验证性因素分析（N=576）。同时使用大学生学校适应量表、情绪调节自我效能感量表、亲社会倾向量表和中国大五人格量表来检验量表的同时效度，并检验了量表的内部一致性信度。在研究 3 中，在完成研究 2 4 周后，对量表进行了重测信度检验。
结果表明，该量表具有良好的单因素结构（χ2/df=4.180，CFI=0.936，TLI=0.922，GFI=0.937，IFI=0.937，NFI=0.919，AGFI=0.907，RMSEA=0.074，SRMR=0.042）。总量表与情绪调节自我效能感量表（r=0.394，p<0.001）、大学生学校适应量表（r=0.429，p<0.001）、中国大五人格量表（r=0.456，p<0.001）和亲社会倾向量表（r=0.619，p<0.001）得分呈正相关。量表的内部一致性信度较高（α=0.890），重测信度为 0.801。
这些研究表明，成人亲社会量表（PSA）中文版具有良好的信度和效度，可用于测量中国大学生的亲社会行为。
